Right-Wing Fashion Police Attack Michelle Obama's State Dinner Dress
The Drudge Report displayed a prominent picture of Mrs. Obama with the words "Commie Red" underneath. This echoed remarks from pundit blogger Jim Hoft who called the event the 'Commie Red China Obama State Dinner.'
Popluar conservative columnist and blogger Michelle Malkin featuered a guest post on her blog from Doug Powers suggesting that the dress, and other preparations were conciliatory to China.
"As for the state dinner for the Chinese president, Michelle Obama appropriately enough wore a red dress, and an all-star cast of Broadway stars performed a rousing musical rendition of 'If my friends could see me Mao' to close out the evening," he wrote.
The comments follow an event that itself was marked by partisan politics. A number of Republican politicans refused to accept the invitation to the State Dinner from the Democratic White House.
Ohio's John Boehner, the new Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, declined the invitation, saying he was meeting with Hu Thursday on Capitol Hill. He has declined invitations to the dinners every time.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell also declined his state dinner invitation, he cited logistical reasons. Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada also cited similar reasons for not showing up.
