Is there another politician that craves the spotlight more than her?

In the photo slideshow she poses with her youngest child.  I can’t decide if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

On one hand, she’s a proud parent of a special needs child and is encouraging mothers of newborns to exercise.  On the other hand, she can be portrayed as exploiting her child.  Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Question: Is she the most attractive celebrity grandmother?

Fred Astaire in Smooth Criminal

The intro is a bit long, so you may want to fast forward to the 1:30 mark.

But if you just want to see the most similar stuff compared to the Michael Jackson video, click on over to the 5:00 mark.

And if you are interested, the Michael Jackson version. As I mentioned, this is my favorite of all his videos. I love that lean.
