Update on Michelle Obama's Status as a Camp Icon

It looks like the prediction that I made in my post at the end of June about Michelle Obama becoming a drag icon is already coming true. Yesterday on Mo Rocca's blog, he put up a video of a man becoming Michelle Obama and citing her "power, style, and grace," as reasons for emulating her. The post reads:
Talk about an historic election: both women running for First Lady are knockouts. Whichever woman prevails, millions of men will emulate her look. Without question, this is the most Drag Queenifiable election in American political history.
This is exactly what I was getting at! Here's the video:



There's also a Cindy McCain drag video -which I don't think works as well. I wonder if someone in that office is reading this blog...
