| MEDIA ALERT: Women have cleavage! |
What’s next?
Is that a colonoscopy you’re getting or are you just tired of being president?
Insert your tasteless joke here.
Then hide the ammo!
But what to make of the Post’s Robin Givhan’s voyeurism?
There was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged
to Sen. Hillary Clinton.She was talking on the Senate floor about the burdensome cost of higher education.
She was wearing a rose-colored blazer over a black top. The neckline sat low
on her chest and had a subtle V-shape. The cleavage registered after only
a quick glance. No scrunch-faced scrutiny was necessary. There wasn’t an unseemly
amount of cleavage showing, but there it was. Undeniable. …
It’s not a fighter pilot cup runneth over “mission accomplished”
moment, for sure, but evidently it’s newsworthy. A woman who is confident shows
her cleavage, is that the upshot of the article, with a little warning if you intend to take her seriously on the side? I’ve been there myself. Cleavage
scares the corporate hack pack and their wingnut blogger counterparts. However, the article goes further. Not only does Clinton show cleavage, but commits the sin of all sins. Clinton
is also “tentative” about it.
Where to start.
But can you envision a commander in chief with – gasp! – cleavage?
Next we’ll hear that Rudy embracing his baldness shows character and confidence.
Cue the Edwards’s snip story one more time.
Interesting that the relevance of John McCain’s age seemed to disappear from the presidential
primary storyline as quick as the questions were asked. Too unseemly to talk about age, which actually might affect a president. But cleavage and
hair are just fine storylines. Good to know the guidelines.
