Glad to hear I was not the only one offended by Giselle's comments. If my step mom had ever said something so ridiculous about me, my mom would have cold cocked her. And I love the fact that the Queen & Michelle embraced. So nice to have the rest of the world like us again Team Bridget all the way.

So glad they getting the world to stop hating us 'stoopid Americans,' woot! Giesle, et al really shouldn't be allowed to open their mouths until they pass a battery of intelligence tests. Good thing they make a lot of money for the baby's future therapy bills. The Obama’s rock. So glad they getting the world to stop hating us ‘stoopid Americans,’ woot!
