You Can’t Spell “Funeral” Without F-U-N!

Well, the Mandela memorial’s come and gone, and a fine time was had by all. In particular, our own Mr. Obama really let his hair down, offering a playfully deferential bow to that mean old Mr. Castro, and swanning about with Denmark’s comely PM, Helle Thorning-Schmidt.

Mr. Obama, never one to let his playful spirits be dampened by silly things like representing the United States’ national sorrow at a convocation of world leaders to mark the death of a revered historical figure, had a gay afternoon with the vivacious, flaxen-haired Ms. Schmidt, yukking it up and taking selfies. Mrs. Obama, however — who, if I may speak frankly, has always struck me as having an irritable disposition) — soon applied the kibosh, as we see below:

Uh-oh — move over, Bo!! And Helle, dearie – just remember that behind every great man is a great woman. With Hellfire missiles.

But POTUS wasn’t the only one having a lark at Madiba’s rollicking send-off, it seems. What’s Xhosa for “Frank Drebin“?

  1. Mrs. Obama’s stony expression in that series of photos is a classic.

    Apparently the guy with the phony sign language did this once before. Yesterday’s trickery was deaf con two.

  3. It’s the combination of Jack Nicholson eyebrows and Sigourney Weaver jaw, I think, that lend to Mrs. POTUS the impression of an irritable demeanor. (Hubby’s got the Joker grin, though.)

  4. “Mrs. POTUS” has an acronym of her own: FLOTUS. I think the “FL” stands for Florida.
