Extra-Sensory Presidential Candidate

Remember the bad ol' days when we were subjected to First Ladies who gazed adoringly at their husbands?  I hated that.  I mean, they seemed so loyal. And dignified: yuck!  I was so happy when I heard that Hillary threw lamps at Bill.  It made me understand that Bill wasn't a deity: he was human.  And it was a great day for America when we all found out that Dennis Kucinich's wife has a tongue stud.  No wonder he thinks he should run for president.  Well, Michelle Obama is riding the crest of the TMI tsunami with an interview in Glamour.  She sees the deification of her husband as a big problem and she wants to make sure that he is very, very human, to wit:

We get up and [my daughters] want ten more minutes so they can come in my bed and if Dad isn’t there _ because he is too snore-y and stinky, they don’t want ever to get in the bed with him-

Yum.  That's quite an image.  So, Michelle, you're saying that in addition to the cigarette smoke, we have a little Global Warming issue here?  What is it you're saying, exactly?  That the man who would be Prez snores and is flatulent?

I congratulate myself.  I had ruled Barack Obama out as a bed partner for the simple reason that he is a Democrat.  The news that he stinks is redundant. 

Comment from a correspondent: "MY deities are neither snore-y nor stink-y.  No puns about BO, please."
