Michelle Obama Buys $50,000 in Lingerie with Food Stamps

NOTE to readers/mods: ChristWire is a satire website, riffing off an actual blog by Glenn Beck-founded website The Blaze.

Michelle Obama was named as Agent Provocateur’s Sales Titillator of the week when she participated in a shopping spree at the Madison Avenue store. The conservative blogosphere is in a tizzy with reports on the Drudge Report as well as The Blaze.

“The First Lady – better known for shopping at more modestly-priced High Street stores – along with the Queen of Qatar, Sheikha Mozah, closed off part of Madison Avenue to spend time in the luxury lingerie shop. Their purchases contributed to a market-spanking 12.5% lift in sales.” ~ The Blaze

The purchase of undergarments certainly brings new meaning to unmentionables when it was hinted that the transactions were made using food stamps. Her husband, the President Who is Not President Bush is known as the “Food Stamp President” amongst many conservatives due to the increase in those qualifying for food stamps. While many democrats will cite the fact President Bush signed the changes leading to the increase in food stamp eligibility, President Bush did not let his wife use them to buy lingerie.
