[TroyD]

Is there anything he doesn't get angry about these days?

[MichiganVote]

1. She looks better in it than he would

[TroyD]

3. : )

[CTyankee]

18. It would make his ass look fat...

[SoapBox]

40. Eckkkkkkk!

Can you just imagine him in THOSE heels?

The Horror!

[CTyankee]

50. I was just channeling the last line of the movie "Bird Cage."

Uttered by Gene Hackman...

[Kahuna]

39. Personally, I'd give you a DUzy for that comment.

[MichiganVote]

42. :) Yeah cuz' he's the 1st person I think of for fashion sense.

[Brigid]

45. You beat me to it!

[tjdee]

2. This is what they do to women. Attack their looks.

Don't worry about what she's actually saying, what does her hair look like? What does her dress look like? She's speaking? What?

[redroof]

17. I agree!

Regardless- she looked hot as hell in that dress anyway!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Ocelot is complaining about John Sununu's face.

Damn, that is one ugly dude. All the way to the bone.

[DURHAM D]

5. Has he seen the Target flag Ann is wearing today?

[sinkingfeeling]

6. A quick Google search of Tracey Reese's dresses show that they sell for about $350.

[TroyD]

8. Yup, that's what TPM says

But Sununu doesn't believe it.

Perhaps he is trying to distract attention from Michelle's speech because he knows it was successful?

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. How much did the RNC pay for Sister Sarah's dress in 2008?

and why the hell does anybody really care? We know they have more money for nice dresses than most of us do. Does he think that she should go shopping at Goodwill or something? Maybe the Republicans should start dressing down a bit too since they're oh-so-concerned/appalled about this.

[Arkansas Granny]

9. He'd complain that she spent too much if she had gotten it at Goodwill.

I think it goes without saying that she can't do anything right in his eyes.

[bpj62]

10. John Sununu is a FWF

you can figure out the tag. I don't care what Michelle Obama or Ann Romney are wearing. I care about what they said. By the way the first thought out of my head when I saw Michelle come on stage was damm she looks hot, the second thought was that the republicans are going to attack her for the attractive dress that she was wearing and that is what they did.

[TroyD]

12. An attempt at distraction?

The strategy may be to get people talking about the supposed controversy over her dress so that people won't talk about how successful her speech was.

[siligut]

11. He just doesn't want to acknowledge that she overwhelmed him with her beauty and grace

This is a repug tactic, take any positive and try to turn it negative somehow. They are so obvious. There are just too many positives for the dementors to try to counteract.

[Blue Owl]

13. Hey Sununu -- STFU, you miserable dickbag

n/t

[tartan2]

14. Sununu

you're just jealous. Michelle Obama has class and it's natural for her, which is something you and your replug buddies do not get!!!

[valerief]

15. He ought to man up and speak to Invisible Michelle to her face. nt

[Grammy23]

16. Just one more way for that Fat Head

to distract from the issues. Michelle Obama knocked it out of the park last night. She was awesome and proved once again that an intelligent woman in the White House is an asset! She is showing us again and again that a woman can carry many roles in the life of her family. And she is serving her country by telling us about her husband in ways that the majority of us could never know. She knows this man for who he is and what he is. I see a bright future for Michelle Obama and we are just beginning to know her and what she is capable of doing. And for that FAT HEAD to try to minimize it by commenting on her dress is disgusting. He should be run out of town on rail. This man knows NO SHAME and should be ignored.

[phleshdef]

19. How would he know? Who is this guy? J. Edgar Sununu?

[grasswire]

20. more Taliban-isms from the right?

A black burka.

Is that what they want women to wear??

No ice cream for poor children. No pretty dresses for women.

Isn't it time to start shaming these extremists?

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Wonder if he thought Ann Romney's red Oscar de la Renta dress was a bargain for $2500.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/30/fashion/ann-romneys-dress-by-oscar-de-la-renta-starts-the-conversation.html

In The Financial Times, the fashion editor Vanessa Friedman pegged the cost of the dress at somewhere between $2,090 and $2,490, based on similar styles she spotted on the retail Web site Net-a-Porter.

[TroyD]

25. Someone should tell Sununu about Ann's dress

Let him know that it costs about 5 times more.

[fugop]

22. What costs more?

I bet Mitt's suit cost more than Michelle's dress. Hell, I bet his shoes cost more. Bet his wife's shoes cost more, too.

Maybe we can do a side by side comparison?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. Sununuts should put a bag over his head

What an ugly fuck!

[BrainMann1]

24. I thought it cost more than that.

[powergirl]

26. Big Baby Girly Man Sununu

That is not the Republican manly behavior we have all grown to know and "love." Seriously? Why does he care. My husband doesn't know how much that dress costs and neither does Sununu. Why is Sununu so angry?

[mother earth]

27. Michelle Obama is graceful & stylish....that fat bastard wishes he had her toned arms & bod. LOL

She rocks, plain & simple...she's a real woman too....she's a national treasure!!!!

[gauguin57]

28. Suck it, Sununu.

What a massive, curmudgeonly, d*ckish a$$ that man is. Gets worse every day.

[DFW]

29. You see? There's the difference between Republicans and us:

Sununu whines about Michelle Obama's dress, where she did not once mention the fact that his ugly, angry face could shatter mirrors.

[Cha]

30. He also had to apologize for questioning Pres Obama

being "American". Either the goprick ptb think it's a good idea for him to be out there with his ugly ass face talkin' shit or he's doing it on his on. Whatever..he's a piss poor face of the republicon asshole party. Or maybe he's perfect.

[kestrel91316]

31. I suppose what bothers him about it is that she's showing her uppitiness by

wearing it. She's supposed to be in a shift made from flour sacking like a proper darky woman.

[Blue Idaho]

32. Sununu cost US taxpayers $610,000+ dollars while working for George H W Bush.

For flights on Military aircraft to take him skiing, golfing, and on one occasion to see his dentist. He even took a government limousine from DC to Christies Auction House in New York City to buy $5000 with of stamps. He then sent the Limo back empty while he booked a trip home on a corporate jet. All at tax payer expense.

Who cares what that crap head thinks.

[nichomachus]

33. Beat me to it -- he's a professional scam artist

[DippyDem]

34. Sununu is just an endangered angry old white man

And he's trying desperately to anger more white men to bolster his fading party.

[magical thyme]

36. He claims they lied about the price. Idjit.

"The Obama campaign hasn't released the cost of the dress, but many media outlets have reported that dresses by Tracy Reese generally start around $350."

[Waiting For Everyman]

37. Its a total score for Michelle to look that good for that little, and Sununu can't stand it.

What a petty moron. You know what's funny -- this complaint sounds like it would have to come from Ann Romney, or her staff, because Sununu wouldn't know enough about fashion to question it. Tough cookies Ann, Michelle is just better at fashion (and economy) than you. Get used to it.

The whole bunch of them is so lame!

[bongbong]

38. Talking about the dress

Michelle's speech was at a 12+ grade level, and thus Sununu didn't understand it. That's why he's going after the dress.

[hedgehog]

41. For comparison - here are two dresses with similiar construction:

http://www.tracyreese.com/p-1302-tracy-reese-ruby-paintbrush-floral-contrast-frock.aspx

It looks like the estimated price is right in the neighborhood.

THE dress will be available later on:

[Zoeisright]

43. Go fuck yourself, Sununu.

You lying, traitorous piece of shit.

[Dustin DeWinde]

44. Why are the republicans so intent on alienating women?

Considering that women are currently 51% of the population, the GOP tactics make no sense at all. The gopers are either insane or incompetent. either way they are unfit to govern

[graywarrior]

46. I have a complaint about Sununu's face.

[Brigid]

47. So do I.

It's just plain ugly.

[graywarrior]

48. Worse on the inside.

[Brigid]

49. Yep.

No doubt.
