Lady Macbeth and Lady Michelle: Two Manipulative Peas in a Pod?
She may not look much like how I’d always envisioned Lady Macbeth, especially in a pants suit, but America’s new First Lady may be the true power behind America’s new President Obama’s throne.
You may recall Shakespeare’s Lady Mac, the scary, ambitious, vicious, and manipulative wife of the title character in Macbeth who, with a few scraggly chin hairs and some eye of newt, could have been the model for those 3 potion-stirring witches in Hamlet. Or for Hillary Clinton, for that matter, providing they could match her witchy cackle.
Michelle Robinson Obama has no (visible) chin hairs as yet but she does have a history of, if not witchcraft, then surely expertise in various dark arts, if we can consider racism one of the dark arts as in her hatred and distrust of Whitey going back to her college years.
Lady Michelle was largely kept under wraps throughout much of the presidential campaign after it was discovered she tended to shoot off her mouth almost as much as the Dem VP candidate, Joe Biden. She didn’t tell a crippled man at a Missouri rally to stand up, as Joe did, but her infamous line about feeling proud of America for the first time in her life after her hubby was nominated was far more outrageous. So, in Obama’s highly scripted campaign, she was a liability and was shuffled off to Buffalo or to the friendlier confines of her Chicago home.
Needless to say, just as hubby’s reference to campaigning in all 57 states with just two to go was ignored by an idolatrous mainstream media, along with his and Biden’s many other gaffes, so too was Lady Michelle’s foot-in-mouth disease.
Fortunately, you can run (and be muzzled) but you can’t hide on the other side of the Pond in Merry Ol’ England and at least one Brit writer, James Delingpole, has outed Lady Michelle’s dark history: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/james_delingpole/blog/2009/03/05/was_lady_macbeth_behind_barack_obamas_snub_of_gordon_brown.
Above all else and if nothing else in the twenty-first century, the Brits have their pride. Their worldwide empire, grown after Elizabeth I and bad weather trashed the Armada in 1588, and once encompassing fully a quarter of the globe, is long gone. It began to be whittled away after America told George III to stuff it in his wig in 1776 and was effectively ended when Mahatma Ghandi proved that passive resistance was mightier than England’s sword in 1947.
Yet, there’s still hope for the Brits based on the above article asking the Earth-moving question: Was Lady Michelle the driving force behind Obama’s snub of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown?
Frankly, my dears, I don’t give a damn about snubbing P.M. Brown, aside from the fact it evidenced the foolish and amateurish nature of the new administration, and nor do I give a flying fig about presumed or actual insults to the English. When they apologize for the atrocities committed against the Irish people for centuries, I might re-consider. But I doubt it.
In any event, that piece on TheTelegraph.com had its redeeming social value by exposing what is actually old news, that Lady Michelle, . . .
