Letterman Asks Michelle Obama 'Has Your Husband' Ever Said To You 'John Boehner, What An Idiot?'

It didn't take long for Republicans to get bashed during David Letterman's interview with Michelle Obama Monday night.

In the middle of an election year, the CBS Late Show host actually asked the First Lady, "Has your husband ever come home and said to you, 'Oh, that John Boehner, what an idiot?'” (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary):


After Mrs. Obama laughed along with the audience, she responded, “It has never happened. Never, never. He is always upbeat, particularly about Congress.”

Now imagine for a moment Laura Bush on with Letterman late in her husband's second term.

Can you envision Letterman asking, "Has your husband ever come home and said to you, 'Oh, that Nancy Pelosi, what an idiot?'”

No. Neither can I.

Letterman got confused again. He meant to say to Michelle:

"Has your husband ever come home and said to you, 'Oh, that Netanyahu, what an idiot?'”

Then again, perhaps it was John Boehner. After all, Obama doesn't have kind words for anyone who doesn't believe in socialism.

No she doesn't. Whatever "class" either of these two moon bats have is all 3rd class. And there is not much of THAT. What's next for the ast Wookie? The Bill Maher Show?? Letterman is a philandering misogynist, and the Sasquatch shows the support of the White House to his nasty comments regarding the Palin Family.

Obviously, the uninformed illiterate Letterman had not read the recent article in the Washington Post detailing the facts and events of the debt debate. Details that have Obama lying to the Nation.

so little class already

Submitted by rowdygirl on Tue, 03/20/2012 - 9:11am.

I think it cheapens the office of the POTUS to go on these shows, no matter who is in office. That being said.. she showed no class at all to laugh at something so juvenile and disrespectful. No exactly the actions befitting a First Lady or any woman with class, for that matter.
