A classic love song dedicated to a classy first lady. Thanks Paul, but who has the bigger crush on Mrs. Obama, you or me?

What a nice tribute and the best part is:

The Republican Party Senatorial Re-Election Committee
hosted a fund raiser for this event.

Host: Rethug John Cornyn of Texas
Sky Box Tickets:
$1,000 per person
$2,500 per PAC

Imagine the Rethugs drinking and partying away and then Sir Paul
announced his song dedication to our First Lady Michele.

PERFECT!

Do you suppose Sir Paul knew about Cornyn's little soiree? I'm not sure which would be better: (A) that he made the dedication as a lovely gesture of admiration for The First Lady, or (B) that it was a deliberate thumb in Cornyn's eye?

I'm going with A myself, although B would give me some satisfaction since Cornyn's one of my senators.

She's so pretty. When I was a little girl my parents used to tell me how unattractive I was because I am darked skinned. It's so nice to see a beautiful black woman who doesn't look like halle berry.

Sir Paul is quite a gentleman and Michelle is a First Lady of whom we can be truly proud.
