Above the law

Michelle Obama electioneers in a polling place, which is illegal. But it’s no big deal:

A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT that Mrs. Obama — a Harvard-educated lawyer — may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally.

“You kind of have to drop the standard for the first lady, right?” the official explained late Thursday. “I mean, she’s pretty well liked and probably doesn’t know what she’s doing.”

What the $%@#& does it matter if she’s well liked? If she’s well liked, she’s above the law?!

If it was an honest mistake, she should admit it and apologize. Don’t tell me that the law doesn’t apply to her.

When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. Obama’s campaigning, press secretary Robert Gibbs defended the action.

“I don’t think it would be much to imagine, the First Lady might support her husband’s agenda,” Gibbs smiled.

So the White House thinks she is above the law? It’s hard to see how else to read that.
