You’ve probably seen a story floating around that Michelle Obama telephoned an African media organization and made some outrageous statements. It smelled like seafood to us, and sure enough, Byron York has the official word at The Corner.

I’m sure a lot of you have seen references this morning to statements allegedly made by Michelle Obama in an interview with an organization called African Press International.  I just asked the Obama campaign whether Michelle Obama did in fact speak to that organization, and spokesman Tommy Vietor answered:

The answer is no, it’s not real, the report is made up.  She did not speak to the organization.

Ever get any spam from Kenya?
