AP: Michelle O is "incredibly accomplished"

Gotta love that John Derbyshire:

Swum the Hellespont?

I guess I'm a bit out of touch here.

From an AP story headed "Michelle Obama arrives in Copenhagen for IOC vote"

And there are few people better to sell Chicago's bid than Michelle Obama.

Funny, gracious and incredibly accomplished, she’s one of the few people who can rival her husband’s popularity.

Could someone please direct me to a list of Mrs. Obama's "incredible" accomplishments?
Does he mean, in addition to her arms? Okay, I can do that. She was a colossal pain in the neck as a young associate at the law firm where she met her future husband. Later, she supported her community by promoting patient dumping at the U of C Medical Center where a position had been created for her in true Chicago style. Umm . . . thinking. She has hosted a White House poetry jam for elites and made sure the Easter Egg Roll reflected the "realistic mosaic" of American families. Entertainment not fit for children rounded out the event. Recently, she has brought traffic headaches and certified organic $20/pound greens to the DC masses (double value for those paying with food stamps!) and made an unforgettable fashion statement at a Medal of Honor award ceremony. That last one qualifies as "incredible" all by itself.

  2. Don't forget her awesome speeches where she reminded us that our souls are broken and that she was never proud of america before that.

    That's an accomplishment.

  3. Compared to the typical AP reporter who would write something like that, yeah--she *is* accomplished even if all she ever did was very little. The typical AP copy writer has likely done even less with his or her life.
