Why would one judge the U.S. Secretary of State the way one would judge a fashion model?

[janx]

I don't understand this.

Can't you take this woman seriously? Is it our culture? The media? What?

[Schema Thing]

1. One might be a fuckwit or a gob?

[JNelson6563]

2. Pretty sad.

How we look matter the most of all! Oy.

Julie

[janx]

3. It drives me crazy, Julie.

Did anyone do this to Madeleine Albright, aside from the pins she liked to wear?

[Bitwit1234]

22. Or to Condi Rice or ANY of the republican women members of congress

remember when the republicans starting slamming Hillary because they thought she didn't button her blouse high enough. They suck, we all know it, they pee their pants jumping on Democrats.

[Fumesucker]

4. I'm guessing you don't hang out in GDP?

Photos of politicians and comments about their appearance are quite common there.

[janx]

6. They are common everywhere

in our pop media culture.

[Jakes Progress]

5. The word "shallow" comes to mind.

[janx]

7. It's beyond shallow. It's rude and demeaning. n/t

[Vickers]

8. Henry Stimson cut a dashing figure. n/t

[Oregone]

9. If Obama showed up in the Rose Garden dressed like Stinky the Clown....

do you expect anyone to not make a comment...really...



And she dressed like a Peacock....there isn't anything unfair about that. It looked absolutely silly. Loosen up and have a laugh for once.

That doesn't reflect on her job at all.

[Gin]

10. I liked the dress....it was flattering and pretty...fashion police

be darned.

[Oregone]

11. There you go...its in the eye of the beholder

You spoke your opinion, as everyone is free to do. I don't think anyone should be inclined to jump down your throat or anyone else's about it.


With that said, there are more important things to worry about, like Lindsay Lohan's release from jail. That aside, this makes an entertaining 2 minutes of talk at the coffee table

[Kurovski]

12. I'm prettier than ALL of you.

So there.

[janx]

14. You crack me up, and I hope you saw my wave to you in another thread.

But you are not prettier than I am! :rofl:

[Kurovski]

16. No, probably not.

In fact, i'm a nasty looking little shit




I saw your wave, didn't you respond to my response? Get with it!

[janx]

17. oh shit I'm far behind,

but I do remember your bid for president with Wetzell!

[Kurovski]

18. Yeah.

I couldn't even skim enough campaign cash to get my bags reduced. What a waste of time.

But I see where obama is making a killing. Lucky stiff, dammit to hell!

[MineralMan]

13. Excellent question. I sure those who are doing the judging have

just the very best fashion sense. I wonder how they feel about other women who are important world leaders? Let's have a fucking fashion show for them all, I say! Feh!

[tigereye]

15. hmm, that would be the lovely presence of sexism, methinks...

women still tend to be judged by how they look or what they wear, in a way that men are not, powerful figure or not.

[Whisp]

24. about the judgement thing...

I do agree but the fact is women have such a vast array of choices as to what to wear, men just have the penguin outfits. So of course there is more to talk about.

[DURHAM D]

19. Its what people who hate themselves do.

Furthermore, they don't think we know it.

[eridani]

20. I know! Let's have all female heads of state and high officials compete in a fashion show

It can be held at halftime during the event whare all the male heads of state and high officials compete in unarmed combat to the death.

[MineralMan]

21. I smell a reality show in your idea...yes, I do.

Working Title: Beauty and The Beasts?

The last guy standing boinks the winner of the fashion show in real time.

This could be big!

[Donnachaidh]

23. why are you getting upset over other people's comments?

Gossip happens. Clinton lives in the public eye. She should know that if she wears something that would be looked at as outlandish, tongues will wag. It happens. I can guarantee you she will not lose sleep over it.

You should not either. :shrug:
