Poll Position - Michelle O Is One Baaadd Chick.

A few weeks ago, I read a comment on an innocuous post on some Conservative blog. Since the boards on such blogs are usually a repository of hatred, I was quite shocked to see someone suggest that Michelle Obama is the most attractive 1st Lady to date, and perhaps even more shockingly, a chorus of followup commenters agreed. Maybe we're postracial after all.

So, I decided to run a similar poll here. Generally speaking, unless my eyes deceive me, most first ladies (till now) haven't exactly been lookers. I can't quite figure out why, since we all know ladies flock to dudes with juice. And you can't get any more phenomenal swag than that of the President. Go figure.

But ya'll thought Michelle O was the baddest chick, and the poll wasn't even remotely close.

Real talk, I really don't see what was so great about Jackie O. I suppose the whole "Kennedy Mystique" helped, but c'mon, she's no Angelina Jolie, that's for damn sure. I'm not saying Michelle O wins this one by default, but dang, the competition wasn't exactly all that tough. A few somebodies voted for Barbara Bush, which just goes to show that my readers have a sense of humor after all.

Anyways, this week's poll isn't gonna make any sense unless you're up to date on this whole Eminem/Mariah feud. So, here's the Cliff Notes, since I didn't bother blogging about this one last week. If Nick Cannon defends his wife's honor and claps back, I just might be tempted to go in on that one. But for now, just vote already.

Question: If Michelle O isn't the bestest looking First Lady evar, then who is? What's your read on this Mariah/Eminem "beef"? Is Nick Cannon a chump if he doesn't defend his wife?
