WI Congressman Says Michelle Obama Has A Big Butt

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R - WI) said First Lady Michelle Obama has a big butt while criticizing her "Let's Move!" campaign to promote healthy living. He has since sent her a personal apology, but then again he said it twice in front of voters before he realized it was a rude, bitchy thing to say.

He said it at a church Christmas bazaar in Hartford, Wis., in front of church member Ann Marsh-Meigs. She told Politico, “He just assumed everyone sitting at the table would agree with him and think it was funny" The Tribune writes:

"He then talked about how different first ladies have had different projects -- Laura Bush and literacy -- and he named two or three others. And then he said, 'And Michelle Obama, her project is obesity. And look at her big butt,'" Marsh-Meigs told [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Daniel] Bice.

When 72-year-old retiree Marsh-Meigs defended the First Lady, Sensenbrenner conceded that Obama is "elegant". Then, Sensenbrenner had a cell phone conversation within earshot of attendees, "seeming to brag about the confrontation with Marsh-Meigs." He talked about buying all the church "crap" — which in and of itself is a dick move. Then, "when a woman began complimenting the first lady and he told her '"she lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.'"

That sounds more like something a sorority sister would say while hazing pledges and circling their fat than what we'd expect from an elected official charged with running our country
