Question: What would you pay to have your photo taken with first lady Michelle Obama, she of the ripped arms and healthy diet?
If you said 5 grand, well, youre in the ballpark, because the First Spouse is headed to Boston next month to do a parade of grip-and-grins with local Demmies, Obama-ophiles, fitness freaks, Dougie aficionados and anyone else who can pony up the dough.
Ive been asked to be on the committee to gather women (men too) to come and hear, see and get a sense of this amazing lady, wrote Brookline Democratic activist Diane Gallagher in a letter to Mish fans.
The first lady is doing two events in town, a panel discussion with representatives from the left-leaning Emilys List, NARAL and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health at the Institute of Contemporary Art on March 9. A ticket to that event can be had for the bargain basement price of $500.
But the formal dinner and photo opportunity with Mrs. O that follows is the big ticket item: $5,000 a head (or $2,500 for preferred seating and no pic).

‘Well... now we’ve settled on the price, we’ve also determined what you are.’
They would have to pay me a lot more then $5,000 to be in a picture with that pig!!!
Needs a barf alert!
I wondered if anyone would catch my abbrev..and add to it.
A winner!
Ah yes, now we see why she gave a free handshake to a few White House visitors yesterday...to provide cover for the ridiculous fundraising tactics down the road.
I just don’t believe anyone would pay me enough to be pictured shaking hands with a woman who hates America.
Better be using a wide angle lens.
Makes more sense for the White House to pay people $5,000 to let Biggie MO stand next to them.
