Sometimes I think our political discourse cannot sink any lower. I know, I know...But then, on special days like today, I'm reminded how crucial it is not to underestimate our cable news talking heads.

Friday's topic of such great importance that it was given prominent play on both Tucker and Hardball? A quote Michelle Obama gave to Glamor magazine, in which she said the couple's two daughters like to climb into bed with their parents in the mornings, if their daddy isn't too "snore-y or stinky."

Apparently, in listening to Tucker Carlson, Chris Matthews, and an assortment of pundits, this, rather than being a lighthearted bit of girl-to-girl frothiness in a fashion magazine, is the worst, most damaging statement ever uttered by a candidate's spouse in the history of a campaign.
