I assume "Moochelle" was a play on the word "moocher" with its similarity to Michelle's name.
This is from an online dictionary:
mooch
/mutʃ/
–verb (used with object)
1. to borrow (a small item or amount) without intending to return or repay it.
2. to get or take without paying or at another's expense; sponge: He always mooches cigarettes.
3.to beg.
4.to steal.
–verb (used without object)
5.to skulk or sneak.
6.to loiter or wander about.
–noun
7.Also, moocher. a person who mooches.
Also, mouch.
Origin:
1425–75; late ME, appar. var. of ME michen < OF muchier to skulk, hide
to get or take at another's expense would be the way the money was spent with callous disregard as to how it looked when the taxpayers who footed the bill are being asked to tighten up
I realize people in positions of authority and power can get carried away with delusions of their own importance and privilege and I'm sure it happens with members of both parties,
but,
the way Nancy Pelosi insisted on flight accommodations compared to the way John Boehner will travel seems to show a difference between a couple of individuals.
