What Did Michelle Buy at Target?

She likes bargains, too

(Newser) – You might have been wearing dark glasses, Michelle, but we saw you shopping at Target. What were you after? One of the two-for-one bikini bargains? The White House isn't talking, but a source tells People magazine that she picked up toys and food for First Dog Bo in the Virginia store yesterday. She walked out with two bulging plastic bags. "It is not uncommon for the first lady to slip out to run an errand, eat at a local restaurant or otherwise enjoy the city outside the White House gates," said her spokeswoman. Maybe she was shopping for votes. She declared in the 2008 election that she was "more of a Target shopper" than a Wal-Mart consumer, notes CBS News.

Thirteen months and five days from today when her husband gets his sorry ass handed to him in a crushing defeat, I guarantee that Michelle Obama will no longer be "shopping at Target" for these amateurish photo ops. Hey, NutsInNY: See the difference, bitch?  Get that dildo out of your ass and pay attention! THAT is a straightforward commentary.  Not mild exaggeration for comedic value. Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
