    Since Ms. Kaplan also wrote about J-Lo's butt, she seems a buttologist.

    Wherever an editor sends her, we already know her focus.

    For example, ask her to review the Ford Focus and her entire review will focus on the car's backside, with gleeful comparisons, of course, to her backside.

    Ask her to write about nicotine addiction amongst the poor and she'll render an analogy about cigarette butts being representative of the health plight of the poor, with asides about her butt, of course.
