Let The Damage Control Begin!

Are we supposed to be surprised?

Douglas Hannant is quickly back peddling after slamming First Lady Michelle Obama for not being the next Jackie O.

Hannant’s publicists fired off a statement saying:

“I did say ‘Michelle Obama is not another Jackie Kennedy and I do not consider to be a style icon.’ But in addition, I also said ‘She has so much more to her and has mass appeal. I admire her as a role model and think she will achieve great things in her position as First Lady.’ And by the way, I voted for Obama.”

No need to apologize. The damage has been done. It’s not like they’d be giving you a call anyway.
