I'm considering your point, but wondering if Salon ever devoted so much copy to one of Hillary's or Sarah's no-touch zones. Ms. Kaplan wrote an essay that's been given top billing about a sexual sector of Ms. Obama's body. Is there an equivalent at Salon for Hillary or Sarah?
Ms. Kaplan has issues with her rump. Many women do. However, many women don't attempt to rectify their rump issues through Salon and its readership.
This essay reminds me of Ms. Clark-Flory's writing, when she sought Salon's readership to absolve her of burning jet fuel to see her boyfriend and to applaud her for her many, varied boyfriends.
What were we expected to say to Ms. Kaplan?
How about this: "Yay, Ms. Kaplan! Ms. Obama's booty is like your booty! Ain't it cool?"
I want Ms. Kaplan to go and sin no more, but I expect we'll be seeing an essay from Ms. Kaplan about Beyonce's booty far too soon.
