Us magazine, that is:
Putting Michele Obama on the cover of Us Weekly appears to be a gamble that’s paid off. Early sales numbers for the celeb glossy are trickling in, and according to sources that are familiar, the June 30 issue could sell more than 900,000 copies.
That is more copies than the cover featuring Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo’s dating woes, but far less than Jessica Simpson’s 20-pound weight loss.
Irony:
Anyone who read Us’ piece, “Why Barack Loves Her,†knows that Michelle Obama wasn’t quoted directly.
Well, it probably sold better that way; just ask the Obama campaign.
(h/t Memeorandum.)
of jeez. I just saw that at freaking Ralph’s. I think Baracky must have paid them for it. “Why Baracky loves M’chelle” was like…
she shops at Target
she … oh – well it’s at that page you linked…
you know… whatever. Fuck Target.
oh. That should be *oh jeez* …
O!jeez.
Hmmmm. I don’t think he’s much of a tits guy.
OMG!!! M’chelle loves Sex & The City!!! I love Sex & The City!!! OMG OMG!!! M’chelle shops at Target!!! We shop at Target, honey!!! M’chelle and Baracky are JUST LIKE US!!!!
I dunno; he seems to find time to e-mail Scarlett Johansson.
I kinda thought Michelle Obama sorta kinda looks like Patrick Ewing!
Target doesn’t carry any fruit, you realize that, right?
My Target does not… but what about Super Target?
…she shops at Target…
Probably why she has such a hard time finding fresh fruit.
Damn.
I kinda thought Michelle Obama sorta kinda looks like Patrick Ewing!I’ve read too much of ProggHero’s shit today!I’m not sure if Super Target carries fruit. Whatever you do though, don’t forget the Choxie!
Aha! Here is the problem all right,

Seasonal. Seasonal. Seasonal.
we only buy vegetables at the Super Target.
Have you ever seen M’chelle there at your Target maggie? No M’chelle sightings at mine yet, but it’s still pretty exciting to be going to the same chain and all.
yeah, like how hard are those to find? actually, the one in Rowlett isn’t quite a year old yet.
Roboc:
I had the same thought about MO’s look. But I softened up a bit and decided that she reminds me of Aunt Esther from “Sanford & Son.”
I was thinking Flip Wilson.
“Ithink she looks like …”
Yada, yada, condemned, yada, yada, denounced, blah, blah blah, racists.
Gad.
Can you envision Michelle guiding a tour of the White House, a la Jackie Kennedy, but punctuated with BLT epithets?
“…and here, Barbara, is a painting depicting slave-owner honky George Washington – who I think is damned – painted by fellow bloodsucking exploiting bastard white satan Henry Mosler – shown crossing the Potomac to murder other imperialist honkies in the unjust and so-called war of Independence…”
I denounce myself for having written this.
The cover touts how she never misses her kid’s recitals. Man, the bar is low isn’t it?
happyfeet – I have not spotted her in our SuperTarget, and I asked Better Half, and she has not seen her either.
SuperTarget? What’s next, Super99¢ stores!
Please.
Immediate denouncement required.
Stat~!
[…] I’m in need of immediate denouncement. h/t Karl, @ PW crossed from […]
They sell Bugliosi ghost written, “Bush murdered 4,000 soldiers’ not the Wahhabi Ilkwan, or Baathist deadenders,
so they clearly have no shame.
This all brings to mind one of many a brilliant Bloom County strip, from way back in the day:
Opus: “Why is it called the US,/i> Festival?”
Milo and Blinkley: “Cos all the dough is going to US!!”
[…] the beloved Brangelina of the political world.” Regular pw readers will recall that Dan and I took note of the Us Weekly […]
thanks for thea article, love Tony Romo.. he has taken the NFL and POP Culture by storm!
