#ElizabethLauten, communications director to #GOP Rep. Stephen Fincher of TN is resigning over comments she posted on #Facebook about the #Obama girls, Sasha and Malia. She was commenting on the appearance of the daughters during President Obama’s pardoning of two turkeys for Thanksgiving. She asked for the girls to "show more class" during the annual event. She went on to say, “Rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar." It's unclear whether Lauten knew that the girls are too young to be in a bar. Did she mean the Law Bar? I think she should have waited until the Supreme Court made their decision on the case before them on free-speech (#Elonis v. US) before resigning.
The whole thing probably reminded you of the incident that happened when #HarryS.Truman was president. Maybe not. He took aim at a music critic that critiqued his daughter’s piano recital. He wrote, “Mr. Hume: I've just read your lousy review of Margaret's concert. I've come to the conclusion that you are an "eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay." It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you're off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work. Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!” Today, this would be considered a threat; a felony.
Bottom line: Don’t mess with the Presidential Daughters. I think Ms. Lauten is due a Presidential pardon. Still waiting for the GOP to protest Obama’s executive order to pardon the two turkeys. BTW, I’m retired so I can’t resign.
