Now MSM takes on Michelle Obama’s Butt…

Sigh… I guess the more things change, the more they stay the same. Quite as kept, till Salon brought up the issue of Michelle’s butt, I hadn’t even thought about it.
How this is deemed news worthy is beyond me, but if we’ve learnt anything about women in this election cycle, it is that they are objects and objects only, and like all other objects, have to be judged based on nonsensical issues.
Anyway, here is an excerpt of the insanity Salon feels it needs to share with the rest of us:
But what really thrills me, what really feels liberating in a very personal way, is the official new prominence of Michelle Obama. Barack’s better half not only has stature but is statuesque. She has corruscating intelligence, beauty, style and — drumroll, please — a butt. (Yes, you read that right: I’m going to talk about the first lady’s butt.)
What a bonus! From the ocean of nastiness and confusion that defined this campaign from the beginning, Michelle rose up like Venus on the waves, keeping her coif above water and cruising the coattails of history to present us with a brand-new beauty norm before we knew it was even happening.
Actually, it took me and a lot of other similarly configured black women by surprise. So anxious and indignant were we about Michelle getting attacked for saying anything about America that conservatives could turn into mud, we hardly looked south of her neck. I noted her business suits and the fact she hardly ever wore pants (unlike Hillary). As I gradually relaxed, as Michelle strode onto more stages and people started focusing on her clothes and presence instead of her patriotism, it dawned on me — good God, she has a butt! “Obama’s baby (mama) got back,” wrote one feminist blogger. “OMG, her butt is humongous!” went a typical comment on one African-American online forum, and while it isn’t humongous, per se, it is a solid, round, black, class-A boo-tay. Try as Michelle might to cover it with those Mamie Eisenhower skirts and sheath dresses meant to reassure mainstream voters, the butt would not be denied.

As the proud father of three beautiful, successful women, I have never been more disgusted than I have to see the treatment according females in this election cycle. My opinion of many has sunk precipitously.
