Abridged Daily News Columnists
Christine Flowers: Oh, it's Christine Flowers on Obama. Let's find the stupidest quote and laugh at it, usual. No, wait, it's a fake conversation between Michelle and Barack Obama. Oh, this is supposed to be "funny." Aw, cute.
Jill Porter: And the Jill Porter Award for Most Awkward Transition of the Day goes to... Jill Porter!
Thus the feverish glee of TV and radio talk-show hosts yesterday with the arrival of fresh meat regarding the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.
And who wouldn't rather devour fresh meat than, say, worry about whether our own schoolchildren devoured some of the tainted meat from a California slaughterhouse?
Elmer Smith: Oh, yea, now that Castro's dead or whatever, we should probably let people visit Cuba and such. Right?

You know, both Jill Porter and Christine Flowers make sidesplitting comments about Barack Obama and his wife. it is the wives of the candidates who are making headlines these days as they compete for first lady. The device of the fake conversation is common in satire...and this particular one is hilarious.
The really "awkward" moment was MO's speech about being proud of her country for only the first time...after admitting that she got into Princton and Harvard through affirmative action. And how "awkward" must Mrs. McCain feel standing by her man while he denies an affair that he wishes he could announce from the roof tops. Please. Jill and Christine both hit the ball out of the park in their respective sarcastic commentaries on the Candidates' Wives Club. Funny stuff.
