So i am fully aware that Maxim's "Table of Hotness" is finished a year old understanding that it's considered mean-spirited in the extreme to comment negatively with a woman's looks therefore i won't do it, but, c'mon! The 93rd hottest woman in the world? Out of maybe 3 to 4 billion eligible females? For a passing fancy list as Tomei, Watson, and Montag? For a passing fancy list as Taylor Swift and Jessica Biel and Jennifer aniston?Top list

As the late Gary Coleman would have said, "Gimme some slack!"

Just as it's crude to demean a lady's looks, isn't it rude to insult the intelligence of girls and men alike by including someone of at the best average pulcritude on a list of hottest women only for political reasons, namely that her husband was president and Maxim was sucking up?

Perhaps it depends on Maxim's definition of "hot," that the British men's magazine doesn't define.

Call me traditional but using any criteria, I would never label our previous First Lady, Laura Bush, as hot. I'd personally describe her as very pretty, dignified, lady-like, and chic but never as hot. That classification, even when it doesn't apply to Mrs. Obama, no longer has enough line in describing the wife with the president of the United States. hottest

Apparently, though, Maxim didn't agree.

The wife with the president of France, former model Carla Bruni, can be an entirely different matter since she once made her living when you are hot.
