A 'Perfect Mix' of 'Poise and Personality'

How else would one expect the Obama-adoring media to "fumble around in the basket of superlatives " as it "oozed over Mrs. Obama at the State Dinner"! Perhaps the best question is just how sick these people can get. They clearly have lost all sense of perspective and independence.

Via NewsBusters:

[...] In a typically unctuous passage on Wednesday, Washington Post writers Robin Givhan and Roxanne Roberts declared the First Lady had brought sexy glamour back to the capital:
The first lady, however, was the star of the show. She glittered in a strapless silver, embroidered gown by the Indian-born designer Naeem Khan. She wore her hair swept back and had piles of sparkling "churis," traditional Indian bracelets, on her wrist. Her ensemble announced that no-holds-barred, Hollywood-style sexy glamour had arrived in Washington.
Left unsaid (but implied): Laura Bush was a sexless, paint-by-numbers wallflower. NPR reporter Andrea Seabrook filed a giddy story on her personal feelings for Wednesday's Morning Edition that delved into Shakespeare for inspiration: 'The whole room had a kind of 'Midsummer Night's Dream' feeling." Seabrook also thought Mrs. Obama was just perfect:
By now, Mrs. Obama is expected to be the perfect mix of personable and formal, poise and personality, and she did not disappoint. She looked stunning in a glittering strapless dress, the color of champagne, her arm lined with dozens of Indian bangle bracelets twinkling in the camera flashes. It was a detail that reminded you that this dinner was an international affair and that while by now Americans are used to saying President Obama, the rest of the world is still impressed by his election to the nation's highest office.
Even NPR knew this was a rave review. The headline on its website was "State Dinner Perfect Mix Of Personable, Formal."

Read it all.

No wonder that journalism is dying; it's a suicide by loss of nonpartisan objectivity and perspective.
