    If you do that, you'll understand that Michelle Obama's butt is a metaphor.

    Do you mean this part?

    But now the game is over. The jig is up. Time for us all to let the hair down and let the booty hang out, to put our hands in the air like we just don't care.

    Or this?

    Michelle started the official coming out with that blazing black-and-red Narciso Rodriguez dress she wore on Election Night, complete with dangly silver hoops that gladdened the hearts of sisters everywhere. She was hiding nothing, and this time she wasn't gritting her teeth about it. She was smiling.

    And it was bootiful.

    As Salon sinks further and further into tabloid inanity, what's even funnier is that a certain amount of letter writers always jump to try to defend its honor.

    The fact that many of the letter writers here complaining are African American women should give Salon a clue. Wait, Salon, clue.... nah.
