Ever heard of Elizabeth Lauten. Well no one else in America had either until she made a passing comment on the dress sense of Obama’s older daughter. This is how it began at a Thanksgiving media event involving the President:

One minor Capitol Hill staffer thought the girls were dressed inappropriately and acted a bit churlish. And then, for some reason, she wrote about it on Facebook.

Well so what, right? These, however, were just the stories in the Washington Post. You can go to the link which will then allow you to link to each of these stories.

Indigestion over the Obama girls: Why a GOP staffer’s below-the-belt jabs were particularly wrong.

GOP aide’s online dig at Obama daughters creates backlash: A GOP staffer criticized the demeanor of Sasha and Malia Obama at the turkey pardoning.

Criticizing first kids? Still not a good idea. The ex-GOP aide who called out the president’s kids violated the unspoken staffer code.

When GOP staffer put Obama children ‘at a bar,’ it continued American tradition of trashing black females’ morality: Views like hers historically excused the abuse and disregard of human beings judged not worthy of consideration by people who also prayed.

Hill staffer quits after comments about first daughters: Those on both sides of the political aisle believed Elizabeth Lauten broke a cardinal rule when she criticized the Obama girls in a Facebook post.

Nothing classy about Elizabeth Lauten’s criticism of the Obama girls

This is in a newspaper that still hasn’t mentioned Gruber, probably because their readers would be too stupid to understand the story. This is in a country that obsesses about the shooting of a thug who attacked a cop. This is a media that never mentions the IRS.

The Republicans must play a very careful waiting game on any issue that is intended to damage the standing of Democrats, and Obama in particular. This is Drudge on immigration:

Things must be brought to a slow boil. The ignorance of the American media is matched only by its willingness to inflict as much damage as it possibly can on Republicans. It makes for disastrous policy and is making much of America uninhabitable, but there is no misunderstanding what the problem is.
