What's In A Name?

I may not be a member of the Washington D.C. elite, but I still just have to say... HELL YEAH!

Hmmm.... let's examine the list, shall we?

• Michele Bachmann represents Minnesota's 6th Congressional District in Congress.... and is as crazy as a shithouse rat.


• Michelle Fenty is a lawyer married to D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty.... capable, smart, and sexy. There you go!


• Michelle Malkin is a conservative commentator.... and budding fascist.


• Michelle Rhee is chancellor of the D.C. public school system.... and is holding up well against an onslaught of resistance to the status quo.


• Michele Woodward is a well-known life coach and former White House Advance Office staffer under Reagan.... waitaminute. "Life Coach"? Sounds like she's on the wrong coast.

So, on balance, kinda even: Smart, capable, crazy, fascist, and life-coachy.

Michelle Norris pronounces her name MEEEEE-Shell. Which drives me crazy. Like the way CNN's Suzanne Malveaux pronounces her name to rhyme with Cezanne. Or a woman I know, Heidi, who got mad if you didn't pronounce her name so that it rhymed with "eighty."

So I don't think Michelle Norris belongs on the list. She's not a Michelle, she's a MEEEEE-Shell.
