Television personality Donny Deutsch -- appearing on CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight" show last night -- lambasted First Lady Michelle Obama's participation in the Oscars show on Sunday, calling her an "uninvited guest" and an "intrusion" in her role of announcing the Best Picture, The Blaze website reports today (February 26, 2013).
When asked by Morgan if the first lady should have been included, Deutsch said, "absolutely not." His main argument hinged on the notion that Obama was essentially an unwelcome political intrusion at the entertainment program.
"As far as I'm concerned, she was an uninvited guest," Deutsch said. "Now what I mean by that is, you have to give the consumer, the viewer, the ultimate respect. They have tuned in to watch movie stars, to watch movies. And all of a sudden, politics is thrown at them."
He went on to say that the first lady's tone was also inharmonious, claiming that her brief speech had a "monarch quality" and an "elitist flavor to it."
