First lady got back

I'm a black woman who never thought I'd see a powerful, beautiful female with a body like mine in the White House. Then I saw Michelle Obama -- and her booty!

    Pathetic as this article is; Joan Walsh's defence is even worse. Do detractors of this kind of sillyness really advocate

    a terrible world were we will miss all those great exchanges we had about Laura Bush's rear end? If not, what is being narrowed?

    Obama supporters who revel in this kind of sub-Paglia drivel are simply every bit as stupid and hopeless as any dittohead. Meanwhile, Salon continues it's silence on issues you might THINK a progressive would be interested in: The Working Poor, The Death Penalty, The Heath Care System, the Military Industrial Complex, etc.

    Here in the brave new Obama Nation, Celebrity crap and sexy baby talk still rule the day....
