A lot of people thought it was a wonderful image. A little sweetness amidst all the craziness.
But those people were wrong. And Deadspin can prove it:
Michelle Obama did not lovingly embrace George W. Bush. https://t.co/SWbU2wbVeJ pic.twitter.com/JtYgP1aIiH

What on earth would we do without the crackerjack team at Deadspin to uncover the truth?
Wow. Great work, Deadspin!
get that Pulitzer speech ready.

man, this is some serious journalism. That Nobel Prize should be on its way

These stories are what journalism is all about. Or … not.
If Deadspin was looking for pats on the back, they should probably look someplace else.
Actually yes she did. You're trying to make something out of the length of the hug. WTF?

Why the HELL is deadspin A. Commenting on something political and B. Making a story out of nothing. The hug was genuine. WOW.

I am sorry about the emptiness that consumes you.

Can we give you a piece of advice, Deadspin?
Oh shut up. https://t.co/B3JVqaBhHL
