On election night Barack Obama made a very grand victory speech, and we wish him well.

Then his wife, Michelle, came out to congratulate him. She was wearing the most atrocious red and black dress I've ever seen on anyone. When the spotlight hit that shiny red panel that covered her abdomen, it made her appear to be nine months pregnant. What a disaster!

I do hope that the DNC can spare $150,000 and two people with good taste to take her to Saks or Neiman Marcus to buy a wardrobe that will at least make her look like a "first lady."
