This was first published by my friend Anomaly at Liberaland.
Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, attacked the President’s children, Malia and Sasha, in a jaw-dropping Facebook post in which she said the kids should ?try showing a little class.? See below.
Lauten was referring to the demeanor of the two girls and also to the way their were dressed (which was awesome, BTW).
Well now NBC reports that Lauten is resigning over her comments. Lauten, also known as @DCGopGirl on Twitter, has been catching a lot of flack for her remarks.

Lauten made the typical non-apology apology on Facebook following a backlash over her remarks. She either made that apology private or deleted it after posting it.
Apology not accepted.
We’ve written about this ridiculous woman before. It’s long time she’s gone. Buh-Bye Elizabeth! Or as said by my friend Anomaly:
You'll be needing a new job .@DCGopGirl and I can help. (JOKING!)
