Shorter Confederate Yankee
Above: Our Swinburne of the Swannoa
- I see no reason to question the credibility of a shady Wordpress blog that is trying to pass itself off as a major African news site by stealing content from the African Press Agency.

Best part at the TIDOS Yankee post:
That’s right, Owens can’t figure out who they are, but doesn’t much doubt that Michelle Obama, who does not do a huge number of interviews, called them up and talked to them. She probably just drunk-dials fringe bloggers as a matter of habit.
P.S. In unrelated news, my Michelle Obama telephone impression is awesome.

Thanks to “Jake” for fulfilling expectations. From the comments: “Fake but accurate….” It’s not true but it’s just like ______ so it’s true. Reality just isn’t real in their reality. Really.

What’s so hilarious is that Owens rejects the “Indonesian adoption = not a U.S. citizen” canard, but thinks his unsourced, unverified (and almost certainly unverifiable) rumor about about Michelle is gospel truth.
Also, someone in his comments said something like “fake but accurate,” which I believe was rejected as a defense in the case of Rightard Blogosphere vs. Dan Rather (In Re W’s Military Service Record).

I guess I never realized how much stupid mining you can do in wingers comments sections.

OK but when even the Clownhallers are pointing out the fakealicious fakeosity of said story . . . kee-rist. The desperation is really ripe.

Sheesh! My comment was so innocuous;
whiteywhy’d he censor it so fast? All I said was, “I really really really want to play poker with you folks. Bring lots of money.”So sensitive, that lot.

I have to agree with SadlyNo on this one.
This story appears to be bogus.

Congratulations. You aren’t as dumb as a guy who calls himself “Confederate Yankee” and still expects to be taken seriously. Low bar, I know, but you gotta take what you can get, I suppose.

She’s off in some parallel universe drinking Nozz-A-La™, I would think.

Oh yes. I would love to see these jokers tangle with Detta Walker.

It’s like that time your sittin in the public toilette minding your own business just tapping your feet, and someone walks by with toilette paper stuck to their shoes, and then it gets all windy and your stainless steel Weber gets blown into the next stall.

I can’t imagine why Michelle Obama wouldn’t like white people.
After all white people have done for her!
White people brought her ancestors to America, taught them discipline and hard work, and Christianized them.
Then they died in droves so she could be free AND eventually gave her the vote as soon as the blacks asked nicely.
And how does she repay them?
She uses that horrible, horrible word whitey, which, strangely, no one realized was that bad until a black man ran for president and had a wife accused of saying it.
And THEN, on top of all that, after all the effort good white people – who made this country! – put into getting all upset and twisting up their panties with the righteous white rage, it turned out that the ungrateful wench didn’t even say it!
THE NERVE!
