So Senator Clinton is raising money because of "sexism" and fashion comments...

Interesting source. /s

Just read posts by BG. He is a big ol ageist and sexist

:puke: :puke: :puke:

At least he has very, very special BO Sniffers here to console him

and that was after the state tour with hubby. Guess voters have had enough of that particular charade.

And it begs the question..How much second hand smoke did his own children breathe in

and is he now a closet smoker?

... and this is his cool gangster stare:

You go first.

Er, but that's a cigarette, right?

If not, he can always say he didn't inhale.

Another Hillary tempest in a teapot attempt to smear her. I remember years of garbage about her hair. And I recall her patient good humor in dealing with it. For a hard-working, intelligent, professional woman to have to swallow years of that...for what? For the good of her country? For her husband and child? For simple good manners because she was raised that way?

She went thru all of it and came out on top. Is she supposed to pretend it didn't happen?

The hypocrisy here is not Hillary's, dear.

My mom is always going on how much she loves Hillary's hair.

In the last few years, her hair's become really good. I think the color and cut are very flattering for her.

Give me a break.

and Hillary is having her little joke on the "hair police", get it?

While appealing to a group of potential supporters.

Clever, n'est pas?

If it were satire I would have thrown in some big ass bouffants.

The bigger the hair, the closer to God!

LOL! :rofl:

She's making fun of all those people who think her "hair" is a big deal, yet appealing to a fairly large group of potential supporters.

I mean, let's face it, being well groomed is important - no matter the candidates sex.

You don't get that?

COngrats

She should laugh at it.

:evilgrin:

Do something positive, like spelling lessons

:silly:

Having a good weekend?

They are still a sinister, ugly, and evil part of society.
They must be eliminated for society to flourish.

People who don't understand that are part of the problem

:silly:

Her point is that she has been slammed for decades for her hair, and she is humorously using that fact, which speaks to the shallowness of our political culture, as a way of establishing a rhetorical bond with the people who style hair--i.e., her audience, the very people she should be trying to connect with while making this speech. What's wrong with doing this? Don't you want our candidates to be able to reach the people who might vote for them? Didn't everyone complain that Al Gore didn't do that when he campaigned for president?

Let me translate for you. She's saying: "It shouldn't be the whole point of our political culture, but image does have an impact, as I have discovered the hard way, but fortunately, I have found beauticians--skilled people like you guys--who have styled me in a way that helps me to deflect such off topic criticism while I am trying hard to concentrate on doing the people's work."

BTW, Hillary isn't my choice. I like Gore/Clark, Gore/Edwards, Clark/Edwards, Edwards/Clark, or Obama as VP candidate with any of the above--in that order. But wtf is the point of attempting RW like smears against the people on our own team, even if we don't want them to get the nomination? Criticize the ones you don't want to see get the nomination, sure, but criticize them substantively, not with pictures of them with cigarettes hanging from their mouths or for their clever (and self-deprecating) playing up ridiculous widespread criticism of their changing hairstyles when speaking to beauticians!

Back to add: Didn't we all love it when John Edwards' campaign came out with a satirical video spot that played up the controversy over his hair?

it's really clever and funny...and spot on.

slammed for having a few wrinkles that show up in close-up a photo? She is about 60, right? I am 57 next month. I wish I looked half as good!

Are we now going to criticize Helen Thomas for having some wrinkles, too? Surely you could find a picture of Helen with her wrinkles showing under her makeup.

These might be our candidates for the general election, our team. Let's not frag them. Criticize substantively, not frag. OK?
