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!

    @The Librarian

    Thank you! Did you see her legs in the picture of B. and she watching TV on election night? Alas, I am envious.

    But, oops, must remember political correctness - shame on Michelle for daring to be attractive, shame on Erin Aubry Kaplan to find reason to celebrate the beauty of a woman who looks like her.

    When oh when oh when will Salon readers grow up and get the hell over themselves? Actually, I hope not too soon - Salon readers comments have almost as much entertainment value for me as do William Kristol's NYT columns!
