Haven't Had Enough Michelle Obama Yet? Well, Get Ready For Saturation Coverage

As America wallows in the throes of Obama fatigue, some genius in the Obama campaign thought this was a perfect time for wall-to-wall Michelle Obama coverage. Was probably her.

I can't wait.

John McCain might have a point when he calls Barack Obama a "celebrity candidate." After all, the Illinois Senator is married to one of America's most popular cover girls.

You better be ready for a lot of her in coming days.

Potential first lady Michelle Obama will dominate the pages of three major magazines this month. She'll appear by herself on the cover of Ebony and with her husband, Barack, on the cover of Ladies' Home Journal. And, as the Ticket previously reported, in the pages of Harper's Bazaar, she'll be played by supermodel Tyra Banks.

Yes, it's true. Earlier rumors that Banks dressed up like Michelle Obama and cavorted around a faux White House with a Barack Obama look-alike for the September issue of the magazine have been confirmed. Here's a link to a video documenting the baffling photo shoot.

No word yet on what the Obamas think about all this. But they're going on vacation in the face of the developing "Obama fatigue" and probably don't care.

Meanwhile, here's an excerpt from their interview in Ladies' Home Journal, which hits newsstands August 17. In it, the pair open up about how they deal with problems in their marriage, the role women will play in this election, and whether or not Michelle would play a role in an Obama White House.

Meanwhile, after shamelessly pimping her kids out for public consumption, she again laments pimping her kids out for public consumption.

While you ponder all the adoring coverage for this angry woman, watch her get schooled by a 7-year-old.
