Hillary and her campaigners
Earlier today I was reading more political news than I probably should, given it’s a full year away from the elections, but to be honest, I’m drawn to the coverage, it’s so pervasive. For some reason I can’t get enough, reading about Ron Paul and his candor/crazy view on the world, and Dennis Kucunich and his 30 year old hot wife, and the rest of the nonsense that makes up the political world we live in. Both sides, left and right, I am following like a hawk.
But what I find really interesting is how Hillary Clinton is doing. Lately her campaign is imploding a little. She backs off a statement about drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. She is about being a working woman and she can take on the world, then she makes a comment about taking the heat in the kitchen. She is Hillary Rodham Clinton, and now she is just Hillary Clinton. Women who are not in her demographic love her but women who are her peers might not vote for her. There was some flap about her bringing up a conversation with a waitress without the waitress saying it was ok.
So with Hillary, I might not like her personality, or most of her views on politics, but it has nothing to do with her being a woman. I think a woman is as capable of being president as anyone, as long as she is qualified. And has a strong handshake. The world has other female leaders who are doing fine. But while reading an article today in the Wall Street Journal about female executives, I read something that made me sick to my stomach. The article was “Looking at Clinton, Seeing Themselves” by Carol Hymowitz.
Sandra Peterson, president of Bayer AG's Bayer HealthCare Diabetes Care and executive vice president of Bayer HealthCare, agrees that "it's hard not to identify with some of what Hillary Clinton is up against," although she's still an undecided voter. When Mrs. Clinton was criticized in a newspaper column for showing some cleavage on the floor this summer, Ms. Peterson recalled the barrage of sexually suggestive "Animal House" remarks leveled at her when she began her career some 20 years ago at the Senate American Stock Exchange.
What?? Huh?? Did I just read that, my eyes are burning and my brain is starting to bleed out of my nose, I am light headed and I think one of my teeth just fell out. Hillary showing CLEAVAGE?? Oh my sweet baby Jesus, that is disgusting. Look, I like cleavage as much as the next guy, but the thought of Hillary and her womanly parts makes me about as turned on as watching a seal being clubbed to death. Hillary is a woman, yes, a strong political factor in the next election, a bright attorney who might break the class ceiling in politics, but there is absolutely NOTHING womanly about her, the least being cleavage.
Think I am nuts talking about it, you are RIGHT. Read about it here.
And think it is inappropriate to bring it up? read about it here.
By the way, Ron Paul might be more on the mark than most people think. Keep on eye on him.
Given my recent post about not wanting to get a massage from women, and this one stating that I don’t want to see Hillary’s boobs, I am NOT gay. Trust me, Kucinich’s wife is really hot. This cowboy is not gay.
