Hillary Clinton's Cleavage

If Clinton wants to be taken seriously, the right way to have handled any discussion about the appearance of her cleavage on the campaign trail would have been to ignore it, and not get all weepy and victom-y about it.  Ms. Clinton could take a page from George Bush on how to handle oneself when one feels attacked. He's done a superb job of sticking to the issues and remaining dignified in the face of real nastiness from his political opponents.  Truly, the discussion of Clinton's cleavage hardly falls into the category as a "political attack" to begin with, as far as I am concerned. The issue is silly and a big yawn and if she were smart, she'd have stuck to her campaign points and left it alone. As acidly pointed out by Don Surber, her husband did more to disrespect women and coarsen the culture than anyone in recent memory - certainly far more than has Robin Givahn, the WaPo fashion columnist who originally aired the cleavage story.

Letterman said "She looks so good, Bill was hitting on her"... Whatever she had done looks good.... Until you realize that she wants to President. Then the whole sculpting, waxing and procedures business makes her look less serious... I doubt that Ms Royale who ran for PM in france had the same stuff done. But then, She's French. Most French and European women believe that a woman looks her best when finally mature (I agree)... Competing with the 20-somethings is silly... A person is not the same as a mature adult person.

Sad that Bill sucks all thea ir from the room when he walks in. She gets advice to look younger...and the press doesn't take her seriously as a viable candidate... Maybe they know more than we ?

Whatever happened to not caring what the press said about you as long as they spelled your name right????
