Michelle Obama’s Big Book Trip: ‘It’s Like You’re Looking at a Madonna Tour’ (barf alert)
NY TImes ^ | 9/21/2018 | Jacob Bernstein

A fifth-row seat at the Barclays Center goes for $1,256.00. A seat in the front row, with a “meet & greet package” thrown in, will cost you up to $3,000. Wheelchair seating in the back of the house is listed at $400, while a spot in the upper tiers could be had for $29.50.

The latest megaproduction from U2 or Beyoncé? Nope. It’s the price of admission to see Michelle Obama on tour for “Becoming,” the former first lady’s memoir, which is scheduled to be published Nov. 13.

After keeping a relatively low profile since leaving the White House, Obama is returning to the public sphere in dramatic fashion.

While other authors typically follow a circuit that may include podcast interviews and stops at the 92nd Street Y in New York and Powell’s Books in Portland, Oregon, Obama is set to embark on a 10-city tour put together by Live Nation, the world’s largest concert promoter, which manages about 500 artists, including Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé and U2. Tickets are available, while they last, from Ticketmaster.(snip)

Other authors have had book tours that resembled concert tours. Anthony Bourdain promoted his 2016 book “Appetites” with a 15-city jaunt that had him doing stand-up-like sets at the Grand Theater at Foxwoods (seating capacity: roughly 2,000) in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco (roughly 3,000). But there has been nothing like this.(snip)

Emily Bender, Live Nation’s public relations director, said 10 percent of the tickets for each of Obama’s shows would be donated to charities, schools, and community groups in each city.

The slobbering author who can't get over how epic Mooch's tour is SURE to be, is the spawn of Carl Bernstein. His twitter feed reveals him to be a puke-worthy know-it-all leftist.

and yet it doesn’t cost a penny to see our Savior and King, the LORD Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God...

Hmmmmmmm

To see a fat liberal Democrat female...your soul and a hefty chunk of change...

To see the LORD Jesus Christ...Priceless (and you get to keep your soul)

"On its website, Live Nation said Obama’s show would
“feature intimate and honest conversations between
Mrs. Obama and a selection of to-be-announced moderators"

#9. After Michele’s talk and barf, you can make a fortune selling toilet spaces and toilet paper.

So much for Michele’s concern for the “poor, oppressed, downtrodden, racially repressed, gender offended, and illegal aliens”.

Just another Chicago con-artist in fancy clothes.

If it weren’t for “No taste”, Mooschele wouldn’t have any taste at all.

By the way, who does her dresses? The same guy who did the curtains for Carol Burnett’s “Gone With The Wind” scene on TV?

Carl is a “red diaper baby” without half the brains his commie parents had on behalf of Stalin.

His former wife, Nora Ephron, left he because he was a schmuck.

I feel sorry for his son. He couldn’t chose his father but I hope he frees himself of the liberal/leftist bullshit that his father has been putting out since the 1970’s.

Moo and Madonna are two peas in a pod. Both want to blow up the WH.
