Chgo Sun-Times' Sweet Live-blogged Michelle Obama on 'The View'

Chicago Sun-Times Washington Bureau Chief Lynn Sweet spent an hour of her life today that she'll never get back: live-blogging Michelle Obama's appearance on "The View."

You may recall Sweet from a previous NB post noting her story on how "Obama's Ayers connection never bothered anyone" in Chicago, or from this one where I credited her with noting a 2007 Obama gaffe involving the number of fatalities in a tornado-ravaged Kansas town.

Sweet joins our very own Justin McCarthy among the very few people who have ever been paid, literally, to watch the Barbara Walters-produced gabfest.

You can find her three "View" posts here:

• "The View" ladies dive in to rescue Michelle Obama after she calls Barack "pathetic."
• On "The View," Michelle Obama makes pantyhose confession.
• Whoopi Goldberg talks to Michelle Obama about seeing black women in the news
