Senator Hillary Cleavage

I’m in denial.

Not about the fact that Hill has boobies, but that it’s front page news - as in The Washington Post - that Hill has boobies.

There wasn’t an unseemly amount of cleavage showing, but there it was. Undeniable.

Reading this kind of astonishingly juvenile claptrap in a major newspaper makes me wonder why “the media” is assumed to be so “liberal.” The term “liberal” connotes progressive thinking, and ain’t nuthin’ progressive about publicly pawing a woman’s tits.

But what’s really weird is that this ENTIRE ARTICLE is about Hillary’s Tits and What They Mean. As in, this big, bizarre attempt at psychoanalysis of showing cleavage:

Showing cleavage is a request to be engaged in a particular way. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a woman is asking to be objectified, but it does suggest a certain confidence and physical ease. It means that a woman is content being perceived as a sexual person in addition to being seen as someone who is intelligent, authoritative, witty and whatever else might define her personality. It also means that she feels that all those other characteristics are so apparent and undeniable, that they will not be overshadowed. To display cleavage in a setting that does not involve cocktails and hors d’oeuvres is a provocation.

Post, repeat after me: “I will not let the gossip columnist sub for the news writer.”

I’m sure the author of this article figured she was being politically astute, intelleckshual and maybe even feminist with her backassward “I am woman, hear me roar, see my cleavage” analysis. Someone needs to tell her that she shouldn’t try to write about shit of which she is clearly ignorant.

If she understood politics, psychology, or feminism - or real journalism for that matter - she would know that aiming the telephoto lens at a woman’s tits and spewing pseudointelligent nonsense about them is best left to the flunkies at Fox News.
