I’m just asking for bizarre Google searches with two posts that mention boobs in one day, but I had to throw this up here. Apparently Glenn Beck and Matt Drudge are trying to cause a kerfuffle because they believe Michelle Obama is disgracing America with her slightly-cleavage-revealing attire at a recent state dinner. Before you go assuming she looked like J.Lo in that Versace dress, here’s what FLOTUS wore that has caused the uproar:

Beck said on his radio show: “I don’t think I’ve ever seen the first lady with her breasts all smooshed up, I mean, what is that?”
My first thought was, really? Does Glenn Beck even know what the fashions were in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries, back when his heroes, the Founders, were still around? Because seriously, get a look at the racks on some of these first ladies:

I mean, I know it’s not even necessary to bother to point out how ridiculous Glenn Beck is, but geez. C’mon.
are you freakin’ kidding me?! jed used to like glenn beck until i shamed him into realizing how awful beck really is. this is so ridiculous. shock jocks like play on the insecurities of the public.
It begs the question: does Glenn Beck spend a lot of time looking at Michelle Obama’s cleavage? That would not surprise me…
