It was for Katherine Harris, she is the one I remember

Hmm, strange. You’d think the hosts on Fox provide enough eye candy that they wouldn’t need to bother. Media is a strange business.

I always have thought that it was sexist that the First Lady makes many more headlines with her fashion than with her opinions, projects or good deeds. She is expected above all to be a fashion icon at the balls and state dinners. Which is why it would be interesting to have the first First Man, and see if they put him to the same standard, lol.

Entropy,

It was for Katherine Harris, she is the one I remember … Fox dropped all the graphics so her chest took up a rather large portion of the screen.

If I remember correctly, they tend to go out of their way to emphasize the breasts of female republican candidates.

Huh? Which candidates would those be? Citations please.

I’ll laugh if Fox picks up on this and starts to suggest that a showing cleavage undermines the seriousness of a female politicians political campaign. If I remember correctly, they tend to go out of their way to emphasize the breasts of female republican candidates.

Ugh, this reminds me of when Pelosi was sworn in as speaker. This is supposedly this historic moment and instead of talking about her career, her years in public office etc. all the news coverage spent lengthy time commenting on her “teal blue suit” and such nonsense. I don’t know how sexist the population is, but the news-media has it’s head so far up its A@# that it doesn’t even seem to fathom that THEY are the ones revealing prejudice when they question the prejudice of others in that light.

This is just more of the same bizarre obsession with the Clinton’s sex lives.

She’s what, in her 60s? That these writers and reporters think she is some sort of sex object at that age says a lot more about them than it does about Hillary.

Can a woman political candidate be taken seriously if she shows cleavage?

One sexist question deserves another:

Can a woman political candidate be taken seriously if she DOES NOT show cleavage?

I don’t particularly like the French, but they are so much more enlightened on this subject than we are.

Despite the fact that she’s really not rivaling Gypsy Rose Lee, its pitiful that these faux controversies are what constitute media coverage of a presidential candidate these days.

We live in the era where the escapades of Brittney, Lindsay and Paris get more attention than the death of a former first lady, so what else would you expect?

Thanks for the plug. My take on the strangeness of this situation is here Clinton Campaign Copies Cleavage Candidate
