Are You Ready For The Michelle Obama Book Tour?
How many people will they have to pay to make the crowd size look good? No one reads these fucking books anyway...
[Yahoo News] - NEW YORK (AP) ‐ Michelle Obama will visit 10 cities to promote her memoir "Becoming," a tour featuring arenas and other performing centers to accommodate crowds far too big for any bookstore.

The former first lady will begin at the United Center in her native Chicago on Nov. 13, the book's release date. She will finish at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Dec. 17, Live Nation and the Crown Publishing Group announced Wednesday. In between, appearances will include Barclays Center in New York City, the Pepsi Center Arena in Denver and The Forum in Los Angeles.
Hmmm... - Nov. 24th, the day after Thanksgiving (?), Boston's TD Garden, eh? I don't care how many people she pays off to show up, she's not filling even 1/4 of that place (17,565). $10 says they move it to the Orpheum (2,700) at the last minute. Ima hoping someone shows up in a wookie costume just to bust her chops.

#2 I saw the dust cover for her book on Drudge...they've airbrushed and photo shopped the crap out of her picture.

#3 Don't expect to see many pictures of the events except for carefully crafted closeup which don't show any empty seats in the background.

#5 Sure I am. All I have to do is stay home when she shows up at a mall near me.

#7 Is she still proud of America, or does that condition only exist when her husband is president?

#8 Gag.

She seems as interesting as cauliflower, and as approachable as a drunk otter.

#9 Democrat party will buy up enough books to put it on the best seller lists for a few weeks and they'll give out books to donors. Also $20 cover price is cheap for the amount of virtue signaling that can be done with that book on your coffee table.

#12 Eh... I don't have a bird anymore so don't need cage liner.

Though the thought of Spike the cockatiel shitting all over her words of wisdom does seem appealing.
