Clamour over cleavage

What a to-do. The Washington Post has published a piece about Hillary Clinton's cleavage (you'll be disappointed with the photo) and the feminists are up in arms. Actually it's quite interesting just how much one can find to say about the significance of this development. Not me. The person who wrote the story. I couldn't care less.

Here's what the feminists are saying though;

Mainstream media coverage of women politicians has hit a new, unbelievable low. On Friday, the Washington Post ran a prominent article analyzing Senator Hillary Clinton's cleavage.

Let the Post know that this kind of demeaning coverage will not be tolerated. Senator Clinton is a distinguished member of the Senate and quite possibly the next president of the United States. Instead of writing about her strategy to end the war in Iraq or her plans to reform the health care system in this country, the Post devoted a feature story to analyzing her breasts.

Let's stop this ridiculous coverage now, in the early stages of the campaign, and demand that Senator Clinton is treated with the same dignity and respect as her male competitors.

Male candidates are treated with dignity and respect?? Well, I'll be.

What you wear is a statementn of what you say and your personality.
I say good on Hillary if she wants to show a more human and sexual look, rather than being a frump like she appears in some of her old pics.
Even Helen Clark has smartened up her appearance for the odd election, though we have been spared the sight of her cleavage.
Now what would the feminists have to say about these protesters?
It's up to women to decided for themselves what to wear, not what so-called feminists want.
Funny how these lefties are not only soft on the war on terror but want women covered up just like in muslim states.

Personally, I think it's about time we (older) men get to fantasise about being with a president. Lord knows, the opportunities to do so with Prime Ministers have been completely absent to date.
