Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
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!
  • But...

    .. the same writer has also authored a Salon article about Jennifer Lopez's butt.

    Is journalism now so specialized that writers make a career of writing about particular parts of the anatomy? Can this article be reworked and sold to the Quarterly Journal of Buttock Studies, or remodeled for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue?

    Where where the articles about a cigarette smoker like me when yellow-fingered Laura Bush's butts were placed in the White House ash-trays?

    Michelle is somewhat statuesque, but she is no Hottentot, and like millions of American women of all ages and races she tries to choose clothes, hairstyles, and makeup that make her look good for public consumption and conceal her ugliest features.

    Nothing wrong with that.
