Quite an interesting discussion of Michelle Obama's fashion choices is emerging, with Townhall's Amanda Carpenter and Culture 11's Theodora Blanchfield panning the new First Lady's Isabel Toledo day ensemble, while her Jason Wu ball gown was dissed by Robert Verdi: "It's an inauguration, not a prom."

As for her husband's speech, well, let Philip Klein tell you about that "flat and unfocused talk."

Her dress was okay. Maybe a bit too unstructured. Most inaugural dresses are hideous anyway. Jackie's was the exception. Simple yet extremely elegant, due to the rich fabric.

Ace of Spades had the fashion angle pretty well covered yesterday.

I bet you're sorry that Hinckley was unsuccessful, Interloper. So close, right?
