It is clearly inaccurate to report that Her Majesty’s purple bike shorts are in any sense “tiny”
I think that description of Michelle in that British paper was totally British humor and sarcasm. They are the best at it. It was artfully disguised as complimentary, but they were laughing the whole time they were writing it.
Actually it is quite elucidating in respect to the media coverage of the Obamas. She has a butt so big that it should have its own zip code but the media reports it as petite.
In effect the media is saying, "Who do you believe, me or your lying eyes."
