    White women have butts too

    As a white woman whose weight tends to migrate to the butt, I have to say that black women aren't the only ones with this issue. I'd say right on if Michelle makes the protruding derierre a fashion statement, so I don't have to hide mine under tunic sweaters and long jackets anymore. Not that I'm fat, mind you, just a little bottom heavy. But I did want you to know it isn't just a racial issue.

    BTW, Cindy McCain looks to me like someone who may be suffering form anorexia. Did you see her in the last weeks of the campaign? She looked like a walking stick. Most unattractive, and she always looked like a scared deer. I really wonder how she's being treated at home.
