Tyra Dresses Up as Obama, Solves Iraq War With Walk-Off
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 4:20 AM on August 6, 2008
John McCain is going to love this: in what is apparently an inadvertent attempt to further the "Obama is a celebrity" meme, everyone's favourite slut rehabilitator Tyra Banks has turned up in the pages of next month's Harper's Bazaar, dressed as a Michelle Obama-ish First Lady (complete with a Barack-a-like and First Kid). Forget Tyra's Oprah envy — it's clear now that Ty-Ty has been taking her social-climbing tips from model-turned-First Lady Carla Bruni. Needless to say, the nation is not smiling with its eyes. Says Page Six (which calls the whole shoot "vaguely unsettling"):
Voguing like a supermodel, Tyra pays homage to Michelle Obama and Jackie Kennedy with pearls, slinky black shift and curly flip, draped against a Barack Obama lookalike and smiling at a tyke playing hide-and-seek à la JFK Jr.
Banks confessed that if she were first lady, her Secret Service code name would be "KMFA: Kiss My Fat Ass."
We can see it now: Nigel Barker as VP, Miss Jay as Secretary of the Interior, and Mr. Jay as Tyra's own personal Karl Rove. Sadly for erstwhile Top Model castoff Janice Dickinson, she would be immediately placed on a "do not fly" list, shipped to Gitmo for a special new facial rejuvenation procedure known as "waterboarding."

Obama is wearing the same facial expression as I would if Tyra were near me.

I look forward to the day Tyra-as-Michelle goes nuts on the ass of someone who pisses her off the way Tyra-as-Tyra once did on Bianca or Jade or whoever that chick was who didn't give a shit that she was voted off America's Next Top Model.

What's that sound? Tyra playing the press like a Stradivarius.

Oh, Tyra. Why can't you just stick to fat suits like the good old days?

Tyra is so full of herself. I bet she actually thinks Michelle Obama will be flattered by this bullshit.

Every gay secretly (and sometimes not-so-secretly) has a crazy woman role model. Tyra is mine.

Tyra should appoint Bianca Golden Secretary of Defense.

I think you're missing the real story.
Tyra is getting all Jennifer Jason Leigh to Michelle's Bridget Fonda, Michelle better watch her back.
(or at the very least, they could make a SWF remake, but black, and set in the White House)

Wait wait wait wait no.
Bill Clinton did not mind that much ass in his Oval Office.

Ugh. This is exactly the kind of tripe that makes undecided voters swing away from the Jedi alliance and right to the Dark Side. NOBODY wants to see Tyra's gigantic ass in the White House, even if it's make believe.

@Huge Tracts of Land: That makes sense. Obama has as little training to be President as Luke had to be a Jedi Knight.

You know why Hollywood/the media is lining up behind Obama? It's not because they love black people, it's because Obama sells anything you put his face on. Period.
That said, we need to stop encouraging Tyra. So let's all pretend this didn't happen. Additionally, the sight of her a few feet from the red phone is scarier than Goldwater's Daisy ad.
