In a stern announcement this afternoon, the White House rushed to issue a firm objection to Michelle Obama's bow, an outfit that drew praise from Obamamaniacs and criticism from independent thinkers and also those with eyeballs.
"It wasn't a bow. It was a clown tie." said an Obama aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. White House spokespeople refused to comment when asked if the "bow" converted into a hajib suitable for meeting Turkish dignitaries.
The Washington Times called the alleged bow a "shocking display of unsuitable fashion decision" and said it violated centuries of American tradition of trying to avoid making yourself look like a 6 foot tall asshat.
Excellent... make them answer for their crimes of fashion!

That bow comes under the heading of a misdemeanor, but she should have been locked up for her inauguration ball gown...

The possibility exists that the supposed Bow may have been illegally supplied by Talbot's:

If this constitutes a bailout, who will BO appoint to run it?
