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!

    In your response to catamite_bastard and someone else, you wrote:

    I have loved Erin Aubry Kaplan's writing since before I joined Salon, and I'm proud of this piece. If having a black president and first lady is going to narrow what we talk about, wow, that would be sad. But I promise it won't -- at least not on Salon.

    Thanks for that 'explanation'. However, it does not adequately explain the state of mind and motives of the writer who wrote that bit of silly nonsense or the editors who commissioned/approved it for publication.

    Do tell!

    P.S.: I remember I once saw a man with a penis fully 15" long - in Washington DC, no less! In a relaxed condition, not fully extended!! No, I did not measure it, but I have a pretty good eye for sizes and so forth - and there were friends of mine with me who confirmed what I had seen! Within shouting distance of the White House!! I could write something very funny and 'touching' and sad and momentous about that encounter that might make you even more proud!! Commission me!!! Please!!!!
