Kirk fundraising off 'rumor' Michelle Obama will run for his seat

“Michelle Obama is running for the Senate for sure.

She wants to be the new Hillary and copy the Bill-Hill “Ms inside, Mr Outside” pay for play playbook”

I think you’re right. She’s had a taste of the slop at the trough and wants more.

BARACK AND MICHELLE...MOVIN' ON UP, FOREVER

How ya gonna keep 'em down in Chi town
How ya gonna keep them away from Broadway
Jazzin' around and paintin' the town
He in Brooks Brothers, she in her crown
How ya gonna keep 'em away from the beach, the snooty golf courses, Vail and the Ritz
The rich folks salons with lobster, no grits
How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm
After they've seen Paree?
How ya gonna keep 'em down, tell me how
After they've seen Paree?

There's a tourist attraction somewhere around Orlando here called Michelle - Queen of the Universe Shrine ... I think you have to bring your own prayer rug, however.
