As soon as I learned that Oprah Winfrey would be interviewing Michelle Obama at the Chicago stop of Obama’s “Becoming” book tour, I pre-declared my ticket the best $166 (plus fees) I ever spent.
My friends and I bought tickets months ago, before we knew the Oprah angle, which was just announced Tuesday. Various celebrities — Tracee Ellis Ross, Reese Witherspoon, Valerie Jarrett — will interview the former first lady in different cities along the tour.
We just happen to live in the greatest city on Earth, which means Obama is not only kicking off her book tour here, she’s kicking off her book tour here WITH OPRAH.
(A brief pause while we collect ourselves.)
On Twitter, where I voiced my best-$166-I-ever-spent declaration (and where all rational, measured discourse begins), skeptics pounced.
“So is Bruce Springsteen playing?” my Twitter pal Dennis tweeted. “Maybe Liz Phair at the minimum. $166??? Maybe you have the opportunity to win a car?”
“Watch it on YouTube for free the next day,” a gentleman named Greg suggested.(snip)
Guys. This is our Super Bowl.
This is the hometown team we’ve been watching all our lives (Oprah) going head-to-head with the G(FL)OAT (Greatest First Lady Of All Time).
They could sit onstage and swap recipes, and we’d hang, transfixed, on every word.
Obama could read aloud from her book for 90 minutes straight while Oprah nods majestically and shifts in her chair, not a word uttered, and we would feel blessed to have borne witness.
They could pull out a deck of Uno, and we would watch with bated breath to see if Oprah dared to give a Draw 4 to the G(FL)OAT.
It’s that big.
Almost bigger than I can capture in words, really. There will be weeping. There will be hollering. There may be fainting.

That is... so sad.
Then you my dear, are an idiot.

LOL !!!!
Even this idiot has forgotten all about Hillary!
.
I don’t even want to say what I initially thought when I saw that headline. Let’s just say it would make even a starving man lose his appetite. LOL.
She could have saved herself some money, and gotten the same enjoyment just going to the State Fair, and visiting the bovine and pig exhibits.
Crap! I’d give 166 bucks for those 2 NOT to appear onstage together........
And that will bring in a LOT of women.
Queen of the Reptile people.

Prior to that Jarrett was an obscure puppeteer.
And she probably paid at least $50 for that “hairdo”. Isn’t that style called the “just woke up” look?
I’d pay $166.00 to see them, if it was an open casket service.

Definitely liberals buying the tickets.
Used to be able to see better for less in a circus sideshow!
