A wax figure of first lady Michelle Obama was unveiled at Madame Tussauds Washington museum this week The museum's inventory also includes former first ladies Hillary Clinton and Jacqueline Kennedy.
The Washington Times points out the museum has not immortalized a single Republican first lady. There is no Nancy Reagan, no Betty Ford, and no Laura or Barbara Bush. Rosemary del Prado, the museum's Washington marketing director, says, "There have not been enough requests. There was overwhelming support for a Michelle Obama figure because of her being a fashion icon and mother."
But Republican National Committee Communications Director Trevor Francis says "both American history and the American people have embraced Republican first ladies. It's only fitting that the wax museum do the same."
