I just read "-- dterrydraw
Again, you're missing it.
It's not about the ASS."
all I have to say in my defense is that I might have realized that so-arcane point if the article hadn't mentioned her ass....how many times?
It seems that I've gone through five degrees in literature and linguistics without being able to recognize a metaphor.
That said?....I'm a surprisingly successful and reasonably happy gay man who would still be somewhat surprised if someone from Salon decided to figure my "joy" (your phrase) in terms of my ass's still fitting into the jeans I wore in college.
Oh, whatever....it doesn't matter. Salon publishes articles about Michelle Obama's butt, and that's just a great thing, right?
Suffice it to say that I think it's patently disrespectful, and leave it at that. I'm old-fashioned that way.
sincerely,
David Terry
