A bit of inauguration enjoyment: Cantor agita; the First Lady throwing shade at Speaker Boehner

Had to mention this choice moment during the inauguration…

RT @czarinaflo: Needs Ex-Lax? RT @mattspencedc: Cantor’s face during the poem, http://t.co/HB92DMFQ#inaug2013 #p2 #LGBT

And, better yet, the First Lady’s reaction to House Speaker John Boehner.

I am all for throwing shade at nasty people, and Michelle Obama does it with grace and class here. This piece of gold is courtesy of Tumblr blogger Mattyrab.

Now, some might say that Mrs. Obama could have stopped short of her obvious disdain for Boehner, but, on the other side of that, he could have shown some respect for her husband, which, as far as I can see, he has never done. He certainly didn’t today, as anyone who watch the inaugural events knows. Now that President Obama is sworn in, signed, sealed, and delivered for a second term, I think she deserves to be able to relax a bit more and show what she really thinks. Further, it isn’t like everyone doesn’t already know how she likely feels about the man anyway.
