First Lady Michelle Obama is slated to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art today for a ribbon cutting ceremony at the galleries for American art. Seems like a nice enough thing to do, right? Not if you're the L.A. Times.
On the paper's Culture Monster blog, Christopher Knight writes, "The desultory gesture doesn't match significant words with savvy deeds. This particular media stunt is sort of like the president going to a Lakers game and expecting sports reporters to fall all over themselves waxing poetic about a national demonstration of support for struggling basketball."
You can bet nobody would be bitching if Lady O was going to The Hammer.
