I don't know why there's any feminist outrage at a writer for remarking about Michelle O's appearance. I don't recall outrage over HRC exploiting her own when she posed for Vanity Fair back in her First Lady days. If I recall correctly she was in a close fitting black evening gown, supine on an expensive divan with an intentionally alluring expression on her face.
The First Lady doing her damndest to look sexy didn't elicit any feminist ire that I can recall. Somebody else talking about the particulars of Ms. Obama's countenance hardly seems innappropriate or precedent setting.
