Let’s clarify something: you can’t really prove negative fact. As my father once said, “You can’t prove you’re not an elephant.” Going on a $50,000 lingerie shopping spree would yield credit card statements or security tape reels, but you can’t document the absence of activity. That’s just not how reality works.
Look, the country’s economy is in really bad shape and Michelle Obama is a conscientious, infinitely classy First Lady, whatever you think of her politics or public image. She wouldn’t spend basically the equivalent of our median household income ($51,914) on undergarments at a tacky (sorry! but true) British lingerie store while a) the entire nation is freaking out about our collective money problems b) her husband, the President, is making speeches about income inequality and due to campaign for reelection, probably against the unspeakably wealthy Mitt Romney.
Please let’s stop kidding ourselves. Until we see an Agent Provocateur reciept, or a camera pic of the First Lady and the Queen of Qatar rocking bedazzled bras in a changing room, let’s just cool it on the creepiness and stop nosing around in Michelle Obama’s underwear drawer.
