So Maxim recently came out with their 100 Hottest Women list for 2009. For some unspeakable reason, Michelle Obama made the list. Granted, she did so at number 93, but that means there are 7 women who Maxim believes are “hotter.” Personally, I believe they’re effing blind…
Firstly, our First Lady, coming in at #93:

I’m not sure what’s hotter… The teased hair or the crooked eyes… Anyway, on with the list of women who are less hot than Michelle Obama. Number 94: Yvonne Strahovski, the gorgeous blonde from Chuck…

Number 95: Padma Lakshmi. I’m a bit partial to her and have always thought she was one of the most beautiful women alive, so I’m probably not the right person to ask.

Number 96: Olivia Munn from Attack of the Show. Even in this unflattering picture, her hotness is undeniable.

Number 97: Marisa Tomei. Much like George Costanza, I’d take Marissa Tomei over so many other women. She’s gorgeous, a talented actor, and a credit to Brooklyn. Absolutely infatuating…

Number 98: Rebecca Mader is another victim of a picture that isn’t the most flattering ever, but look at her!

Number 99: Former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Melissa Rycroft… Yeah, nowhere near as hot as Michelle Obama…

Number 100: Deanna Russo!?! Not as hot as Michelle Obama? Are you effing with me? Seriously?

And those are the women who are hotter. It’s even more interesting when you get into the women who are “in Michelle’s league,” meaning those who were “close” in hotness. Look, I’m not stupid. I get what Maxim is trying to do here; we have a first lady who isn’t your typical older woman, and they’re trying to push it as some great moment or something, but can we be realistic? In a list of the 100 hottest women, I can think of a bunch of women who didn’t make that list that are way hotter than our artificially propped-up first lady.
To put it another way, if she was just a woman in a bar, and the 7 that are above her were there with her, who would you go home with? I know my answer!
