If you’ve ever licked your chops over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joining a drag show, prepare your sweet tooth for some eye candy.
She might not be a man in drag, but she’s posed to be the next best thing.
According to The Hill, The Hill reports that the Legislative Lady has an important moment in store:
Pelosi will make a “special appearance” on the upcoming season of RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,Paramount+ made the announcement Friday. The new season of the drag queen competition premieres on May 20 on the streaming network and will follow previous winners who are duking it out to earn the title of “Queen of All Queens” and a $200,000 cash prize.
It’s not Pelosi’s first Ru-deo: She guested on the show in 2018.
At the time, she praised the program’s “pride.”
Self-love, once considered a fatal sin, is now all the rage. It’s even made it into the church. At Duke University’s divinity school recently, Divinity Pride led a special prayer:

For those who believe a proud, plank-spanking Pelosi would make a great leader, you can cross your fingers, and grab your remotes.
It’s uncertain whether Nancy will rock the catwalk, but don’t take it off the table.
However she ends up, she’ll be hobnobbing with Hollywood:
Pelosi was not alone. A star-studded list of celebrities guest judges included: Cameron Diaz and Ronan Farrow (journalist), Ben Platt (fashion designer Betsey, Betsey Johnson), Tove Lo, Nikki Glaser, and many others.
In a promotional clip for the new season, the Speaker gets downright religious with “Can I get an amen?”:

With Nancy dancing on camera and RuPaul with his crew, could a drag event be staged at the Capitol eventually?
I’d say there’s more than a tremendous chance. Politics has reached a new level of pomp and circumstance.

Pelosi spoke out to The Hollywood Reporter about four years back, describing what political leaders could learn from drag-show queens.
“Authenticity. Take pride in your identity. Knowing your power — that’s what I talk about on my brief segment on the show. The idea that people believe in themselves and take pride in their country is not only a lesson for politicians, but also for all citizens. And that’s why I was so excited and couldn’t resist being on the show.”
Sounds good — after more than two years of lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine requirements, if politicians could only learn their power, maybe they could really throw around their weight.
As for authenticity, let’s hope the 82-year-old soaks in the lesson like a sponge. When she comes back to Washington, she can share her knowledge with everyone.
