Elizabeth Lauten, the GOP Communications Director who decided to insult the Obama family on Thanksgiving has resigned.

It was worth every tweet we made this weekend to see this person get kicked out on the street. No one should EVER insult the first family on Thanksgiving or any other holiday, and no one in their right mind would EVER attack the children of the President for no apparent reason. (Unless they are a right-wing racist nutjob tossing red meat to their followers in the echo chamber of conservative Facebook, that is).

Anyway - how's that working out for her now? Pwned by Twitter. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

I'm sure she will find employment soon with Fox News or some far-right think tank. She is one of the faithful, and just tried to put those uppity Obamas in their place at the back of the White House. I'm sure she's getting fan mail from the St. Louis KKK as I write this, LOL.

DeWayne Wickham, USA Today Op-Ed
Elizabeth Lauten's resignation doesn't surprise me. As a Republican Party communications specialist, she was more of a bull in a China shop than an artful word merchant. Her undoing was her clumsy attempt to strike a blow against the president through a social media attack on his teenage daughters.
. . . Lauten is not a GOP loose cannon. She's someone the Republican Party's national organization and a Republican congressman have used as a spokesman. Word usage, for her, is the coin of the realm. It's hard to imagine that what she wrote wasn't a well-thought-out strike at Obama's daughters and that the real purpose was to inflict damage on the president.
So don't expect Republicans to cut their ties with Lauten. She's a good soldier in the war of attrition they're waging against Obama.

Most likely she and her employer, Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tennessee, realized she had to resign (or be fired) because of the embarrassing pictures and stories coming out about Lauten, who according to The Smoking Gun was arrested for shoplifting at age 17 - a year older than Malia Obama.

Lauten ...was arrested in December 2000 for misdemeanor larceny, according to court records. Lauten, then 17, was collared for stealing from a Belk department store in her North Carolina hometown.
Because Lauten was a first-time offender, her case was handled via the District Court’s deferred prosecution program, which resulted in the charge’s eventual dismissal after the future scold stayed out of trouble for a prescribed period.
Since Lauten was just another teenager caught shoplifting at the mall, it appears unlikely that she was publicly pilloried for her lack of class, nor were her parents criticized as poor role models.


Wow, is that classy or what? Oh, never mind - she's just damn hypocrite.

The President and his daughters were shopping in a Washington Bookstore called "Politics and Prose" when he starting joking about how sad he looked on the book cover of NBC pundit Chuck Todd's book, The Stranger.

President Obama: “Oh, Chuck Todd! Let’s see what Chuck has to say here ... The Stranger, Barack Obama-- looking lonely"

Malia Obama: “How is he already writing a book? Sad.”

Bookstore Checker: "They tried to find the saddest photo."

Pres. Obama: "He’s just sad."

Malia Obama: "It's a sad book."

Tennessee Turkey Girl ~ GOP Operative for Stephen Fincher Insults the Obama Family

GOP Rebranding Shambles: Rep. Fincher R-TN Hates Feeding the Poor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The so-called "Communications Director" for Tennessee GOP Rep. Stephen Fincher, a woman named Elizabeth Lauten or @DCGOPGIRL, decided to give the daughters of President Obama a talking-to about their attitudes, demeanor, and even their clothing choices. The impetus for this came after the girls appeared with their Dad to pardon the White House turkey, during which they looked both bored and embarrassed, as any teenagers would be in such a situation. Maybe these girls are just getting too old to take such a silly tradition seriously. Ya think?



While "outraged" right-wingers decried the girls giving the turkey and Pres. Obama the "side-eye," Ms. Lauten spilled her own thoughts onto her public Facebook. And she didn't just keep it light-hearted, she blamed Michelle and Barack Obama for their appearance, saying the parents of Sasha and Malia "don't respect their positions very much." In effect, she politicized a very non-political situation and used children to make the point that she hates the Obama family. Keep it classy!

Hmm, Ms. Lauten - what do you mean by "respect their positions very much?" As much as you respect the President and First Lady of the United States? Or as much as you respect the children of the President and their right to grow up off-limits to criticism from stupid political hacks like yourself? While I'm sure the racist followers of your boss, Rep. Fincher, are cheering you on, most people with any sense at all would know you are committing career suicide by attacking the President's family on Thanksgiving. But please, proceed. Happy communications to you.

We'll never know what possessed this person to target the Obama girls as opposed to, say, the rather wild daughters of George Bush, known for getting drunk at frat parties. One thing's for sure, Twitter will NEVER let her forget it. For me, Elizabeth Lauten will forever be "Tennessee Turkey Girl."

Of course a few on Twitter came to her defense, because she is a DC insider.



Never mind that her employer is a public servant paid with our tax money. And therefore we have a right to hold his staff accountable, especially those of us from Tennessee.



But . . .



After the outcry: the Inevitable Apology
