Huffington Post calls Michelle Obama a "Cougar" and/or a "MILF."

[onehandle]

You know, for as good as we think they are, they sure publish a lot of disrespectful trash.

Very much like the crap you'll see in British Tabloids.

And the shock headlines and stories they often have are disturbing.

And they have a lot a skin articles...

But I digress...

Michelle is an "example" in this article and is featured in a photo with other "cougars" and "MILFs" on the front page.

1. I haven't been

outraged for several hours. Now this.

[dbmk]

2. And because of you

I now have to stop being outraged and start lauging. Not cool, bro. Not cool.

[Kolesar]

3. She said "sexy toned biceps", not MILF

Not that the article was worth writing and posting.

[onehandle]

4. Uh, it's in the headline.

The article is about the rise of the "cougars" and "MILFS."

So which is she, Arianna?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. What dumbasses, she's not a cougar, Obama is too old for that

Many would probably consider her a MILF, though.

[Captain Hilts]

18. Age doesn't matter, but the woman has to be older.

Eleanor Roosevelt was a cougar.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Actually, I should have said Barack

He's too old for her to be his cougar.

Now my wife, she's a cougar.

[Teaser]

6. who cares about "skin articles"?

and as for the other terms for MO, well, that's just where our culture is right now.

[onehandle]

7. They seem to think that they are serious journalists.

They do get to ask the President questions.

I don't mind skin, but you can't have it both ways.

I do hate the shock articles. How many times do we need to hear about the inmate that pulled his own eye out and...

[Teaser]

8. again...

it's just where the culture is right now. No getting past it....everything has tabloidified.

I'm afraid I just can't work up the outrage on this. Not worth my energy.

[polmaven]

9. Oldster here....

Someone's gonna have to translate MLIF for me. :shrug:

[a kennedy]

12. thanks polmaven, I have no idea what MLIF means either....

[City Lights]

13. MILF = Mother I'd Like to F___. nt

[polmaven]

24. Really!...

Then that is even more of a damed sexist article than I originally thought it was....What a piece of crap.

[City Lights]

27. I learned its meaning when a handful of male DUers used it to describe Sarah Palin.

It left me feeling :puke:

[polmaven]

31. I really do not understand

why so many people who call themselves progressives can continue to not get that this type of thing is so completely sexist and offensive.

[City Lights]

34. I hear ya...

:-(

[Egnever]

38. Perhaps because so many women completely buy into and enjoy it?

Or do you believe they are all inwardly hating themselves for being called gorgeous?

I understand that some find it offensive but that does not equate to it bad behavior. I cant stand brussel sprouts but that doesnt mean I am going to call you names because you like them.

I dont understand peoples need to impose their standards on others. Freedom for those who agree with me!

Yipee.

[polmaven]

42. Yeah..

'Cause all those wimmin folk LIKE all that sexist stuff!

There is an ENORMOUS difference between being called gorgeous and the terms that are being used here!

[Jennicut]

47. I have no problem with MILF or even GILF! However...

I do have a problem with our constant sexualizing of women who have power.

[TexasObserver]

10. She is a MILF. She's not a cougar.

I'm sure there are women who are cougars, but not MILFS.

I suspect most MILFS are not cougars, and most cougars are not MILFS.

[vaberella]

11. Wait?! Michelle is older than Barack? If she is then she's a Cougar.

But I will agree she is a MILF....even if it's inappropriate.

[elocs]

14. This incessant need to label and pigeonhole people is silly and stupid,

but she is certainly a MILF to her husband.

[BlooInBloo]

15. Um, she's totally milfy.

[lazer47]

16. I just canceled "huffingtonpost",, sexist trash is unacceptable

in any form, and defining any lady as a "MILF" is trash,,in my book it is right up there with the "N" word,

[Captain Hilts]

19. Huff Post IS sexist trash. I gave it up about a year and a half ago. nt

[lazer47]

22. I'm usually about a year and a half behind everybody else anyway

[Captain Hilts]

23. As am I on a lot of things. Let's make a club!

Keep up the Good Fight.

[snake in the grass]

35. So did I.

I can neither stand that website nor Arianna's pathologies.

[onenote]

33. would you have cancelled it if they'd run a story saying laura bush wasn't a MILF?

[Captain Hilts]

17. Michelle is NOT a cougar, or does she have a young lover we don't know about?!

[Balbus]

20. Definitely not a MILF

[Captain Hilts]

21. I think MILF is really a gross phrase, actually. nt

[City Lights]

28. Ditto. nt

[Raine]

44. I do too

x(

[RT Atlanta]

25. Cindy is a MILF

and a damn fine looking one at that!

[wyldwolf]

29. Cougar is not accurate.

:)

[BklnDem75]

30. Obama is older

Guess they saw a new word and decided to run with it.

[Robbins]

32. Chill Out

A MILF Is older women with children younger guys fantaze about.Nothing wrong with that.And Michelle Obama can fit that.

She cannot fit Cougar since she doesn't have younger lovers.

Still don't know why Huffington would talk about this.It IS better for places about female celebs.

We are not the thought police like some right wingers.

[Robeson]

36. Don't forget to vote!

[genna]

37. I avoided that article when I saw it this morning.

I've said it once and I will say it again, if I could pick between

1. Garbage stuff that comes from RW people about militant, radical MO

vs

2. Sexist crap about how a RW or a LW person wants to 'do her'/'hit that',


I'd stick with #1. The last thing I want to read or be exposed to is how hot this chocolate queen is.


Hey, men I understand fantasies are common but seriously does everyone need the Halle Berry treatment.

[Canuckistanian]

39. Huffington Post did no such thing - they just quoted Bonnie Fuller

But they did take the ball and run with it.

I wish they'd STOP this tabloid shit.

[onehandle]

41. Do you think there's a person named "Huffington Post?"

It's original Huffington Post content and they are responsible for what they pay for.

[Canuckistanian]

43. No, but I'm sure it's not their editorial opinion

This wasn't in Arianna's column, it was in one of those "entertainment" sidebars.

[rvablue]

40. I suggest a hiatus on caring what the Huff Post or the Daily Beast have to say about anything

right now Arianna and Tina Brown are in a pissing match about driving traffic to their two useless websites.

Expect the trashy posts to only increase. Both of these ladies have egos the size of the former USSR and will be shameless in trying to outdo the other.

Of course, this was all started by Brown's copycatting, but nonetheless, let's ignore both of them for awhile until they realize their ridiculousness isn't selling anymore.

[geek tragedy]

45. But not a PUMA. n/t

[Jennicut]

46. How is Michelle a Cougar, she is married to a man older then her! MILF I get.

I get the humor but can we please give some respect to the First Lady of the United States? She is 100 billion times better then Pickles.
