This just in: Women have boobs, Washington Post gets stupider

That's a millimeter more than I want to see of Hillary's sweater puppies. Turtlenecks all around please.

And Flash, that wasn't Brian Mulroney was it?

 

It was very tasteful. They used his jaw to cover up the naughty parts ...

Seriously, no ... it was Kim Campbell.

 

Alright, you guys asked for it. NSFW NSFW

Now I won't enjoy sleep for the next two months. Thank you, assholes.

 

How does this article make it into The Washington Post? This from a woman who also wrote a lengthy discussion of Speaker Pelosi's scarf choices during a recent Middle East trip:

Look, I'm not saying there isn't an audience that is interested in women in positions of power's fashion choices. Or that there aren't good reasons for examining such phenomena, from a social sciences perspective.

But, IMO, when you're writing a supposedly-legitimate article in one of the nation's pre-eminent newspapers about a potential future president's cleavage, you are inviting: scorn, charges of partisanship, and evaluations of your work which could probably best be summarized in one word: 'farce.'

Who is supposed to take Hillary Clinton seriously after reading this article? Sure, there have been and will continue to be discussions of John Edwards' "prettiness," Mitt Romney's hair, and, yes, even Barrack Obama's beach "buffness."

But an entire article about a presidential candidate's cleavage, replete with pseudo-psychoanalytic interpretations of what the showing of said cleavage supposedly signifies?

Sad, indeed. At least that's how it looks from this vantage point.

 

Actually, yes.

 

Seems to me Hastert was at least a D-cup. Where was that story?

 

Where's Maggie Trudeau when we need her?

 

The Britney Spears of 70s North American Parliamentarianism!

Recovering from manic-depression, a drunk-driving charge, most likely a truckload of pharmaceuticals, and girding herself against the possibility that one of her sons (Justin) is preparing a serious political run.

She actually looks great. You can almost picture Mick Jagger hitting that back in the day, 'cause she's held up better than he has.

The son, whom I saw in person a couple of weeks ago (our photog got a photo of him coming out of a porto-potty, which I hope they have archived for down the road) is scary pretty. And really tall.

Much better looking than his dad. If he has 1/10 of his father's charisma, and can somehow shake the general opinion that he's nothing more than a dilettante, he may someday attend NAFTA summits with whatever Bush offspring takes over the family business down there.

 

Doesn't anyone else see the comparison between a story like this (even in a supposed "fashion" forum) and the Charlie Pierce piece in another thread? Seriously...this is what politics has become.
