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!

Talking about nice asses is fun; but not everyone's smiling!
Like a pyroclastic flow made from um, words, super heated comments are moving at high speed over at Salon.com:

One angry poster writes:
>From "That's right. I'm going to talk about the first lady's butt" to
"miscegenation" just a few paragraphs down. This is demeaning, vacuous
tripe that doesn't even work as satire. The size and shape of Michelle
Obama's butt is not a topic from which any of us can hope to derive
enlightenment, nor will it dispel any stereotypes. Is Salon really
this desperate for material? If so, I have a drawerful of musings on
Christopher Hitchens's nipples, David Sedaris's calves and Greta van
Susteren's nose you might want to look at.

When Hitchens' nipples enter the conversation, you know things have gotten out of hand.
