GOOGLE " Hillary Clinton's pantsuits" and the thousands of pages that come up are an amalgamation of gentle mockery, a modicum of flattery and all-out derision. Punch line and rallying cry, those suits have been seared into the public consciousness. (Who can forget the bright tangerine number the former presidential candidate wore on the opening day of the Democratic National Convention last month?) But lost in the clamor was the designer. Turns out that many of Clinton's signature campaign suits were stitched on the first floor of a boutique in the heart of Beverly Hills by Susanna Chung Forest, who...

Pantsuit On Fire By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY Tuesday, March 25, 2008 Election '08: Trailing in delegates, the last straw for Hillary Clinton may have come as her fanciful account of braving gunfire in Bosnia in 1996 is exposed. But then falsehood and the former first lady are fast friends. --------------------------------------------------------- The official response of the campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., regarding her claims of being under sniper fire upon arrival in Bosnia as first lady 12 years ago is that she "misspoke" — and that's all her team has to say about it. But this particular fib is not...

...How many pantsuits does Hillary Clinton have in her closet? And does she ever wear them in the same combination more than once? The pantsuit is Clinton's uniform. Hers is a mix-and-match world, a grown-up land of Garanimals: black pants with gray jacket, tan jacket with black pants...There are a host of reasons to explain Clinton's attachment to pantsuits. They are comfortable. They can be flattering, although not when the jacket hem aligns with the widest part of the hips (hypothetically speaking, of course). Does she even have hips?... Women have come a long way from the time when wearing...

Chinese authorities today announced a sweeping recall of garments manufactured with asbestos, including the pantsuit worn by Sen. Hillary Clinton during last night’s Democrat presidential debate. Sen. Clinton’s trousers were marketed mostly through retailers in the Washington D.C. region, and made from “a political-grade fabric that provides protection from spontaneous combustion, thus avoiding the embarrassment of ‘pants on fire’.” Because asbestos is the leading cause of lung cancer in laboratory mice and rats, experts said it posed a particular danger to Sen. Clinton’s rivals on the stage last night. The Chinese government apologized to the former First Lady for shipping...

A judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against his former dry cleaner is fighting the cleaners' attempts to collect attorney fees from him. Roy L. Pearson filed an opposition to the defendants' motion for attorneys' fees Friday, saying he shouldn't have to pay the $82,907.50 that the Chung family owes to defend themselves against his 2005 lawsuit. Pearson did not immediately reply to an e-mail requesting comment. Pearson, a local administrative law judge, had claimed that the "Satisfaction Guaranteed" sign that once hung in the Chungs' shop was misleading and violated the D.C. consumer protection act. A pair of...

Yet another man has betrayed Hillary Clinton. This time it's George W. Bush, who not only deceived her about WMDs but, when granted congressional authorization to go to war in Iraq, actually did so. This came as a surprise to her,... I don't want to know how President Bush failed Hillary Clinton [but] how she failed her country. "From almost the first day they got into office," Clinton said ... the Bush administration was "trying to figure out how to get rid of Saddam Hussein." If that was the case ...then how come she now says she did not think...

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should tap into her feminine side and wear dresses and skirts instead of trousers, fashion designer Donatella Versace was quoted as saying on Thursday.

WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON - New York's Sen. Hillary Clinton made history again yesterday. The first former First Lady to become a senator declared she intends to break the ultimate glass ceiling and win election as America's first female President. "I'm in. And I'm in to win," Clinton said in an Internet message. Her promise to run a campaign that would be "a conversation" ends a grueling decision-making process that began just after Clinton, 59, won reelection to the Senate in November. And it caps years of groundwork by Clinton, her husband and her faithful, who built a national money network...

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton expressed doubt Saturday that Iraq's government would follow through with its promises to secure Baghdad as she met with top Iraqi officials and American commanders. It was the third trip to Iraq for Clinton, a Democrat from New York who is considering running for president, and comes amid opposition from the Democratic-controlled Congress to President Bush's plans to send in 21,500 more troops to stop the rampant violence. "I don't know that the American people or the Congress at this point believe this mission can work," she told ABC News in Baghdad....

Hillary’s Sex Appeal Seriously… By Louis Wittig New York, NY — There was a sharp, mischievous article in this. It just wasn’t materializing. Everything started out great. I arrived early for the press conference at the Museum of Sex where sculptor Daniel Edwards was unveiling his latest piece, The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton. I talked to Bob Kunst, founder of HillaryNow.com, a grassroots pro-Hillary website / organization, who was standing outside the museum entrance holding up a hand drawn “Hillary in ‘08” sign for a dozen reporters and cameramen. I had quotes before I even went inside. And...

>Consider this:****On Wilson/Plame/Leakgate/ and the rest.................................. Speaking of Chappaqua Rose, to me this whole thing has Hillary's fingerprints all over it. Remember when she "fudged" things when she was involved in writing up the articles of impeachment for Nixon?*** From http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/benshapiro/2003/06/19/169878.html Hillary Clinton cut her teeth on the Watergate scandal.

Former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who landed on the cover of Time magazine after her critique of the nation's pre 9/11 security lapses, announced Wednesday that she will seek the DFL nomination to run against two-term incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline in Minnesota's 2nd District. Rowley, who was a strong opponent of going to war in Iraq, said she would run on the themes of "ethical decision-making," independence from partisan dogma, and balancing security needs with civil liberties, which she believes the Bush administration has damaged. Acknowledging that she voted mostly Republican until 2000, Rowley faulted Kline for voting...

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Former Minneapolis FBI agent Coleen Rowley, whose public criticism of the bureau set off an uproar over the FBI's pre-Sept. 11 counterterrorism lapses, said Monday that she will run as a Democrat for the U.S. House. Rowley plans to challenge second-term Republican Rep. John Kline in Minnesota's Second District, which stretches across the Twin Cities' western and southern suburbs and as far south as Le Sueur and Red Wing.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen has begun publishing a regular "Hillary Meter." The purpose of this is to track Sen. Hillary Clinton's movement to the political center by determining how much of the American public considers her to be middle-of-the-road. I find this to be a fascinating story, because it says quite a bit about Hillary and her political skills--or lack thereof. It is, of course, gospel that Hillary Clinton is a political genius, or something to that effect. She is so brilliant that potential Democratic opponents are warned by pundits everywhere that she will work her secret devil arts on the...

Meryl Streep's Hillary Problem posted 06/13/04 Paramount Pictures is worried that Meryl Streep's edgy, chilling performance as a U.S. Senator in The Manchurian Candidate, which opens at the end of next month, is too close to the real Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a pal inside the studio tells me. As a result, studio honchos have asked director Jonathan Demme to make little recuts and trims here and there to remove some of the more Hillaryesque gestures and expressions in the flick. "Meryl is brilliantly scary and evil," my Paramount buddy says, who's seen the film through several rough assemblages and...

Dear (Deluded Fool), A year ago everyone had written Democrats off. The media had taken for granted the reelection of George Bush. Isn't it fun to prove them wrong? The Bush-Cheney campaign has blown $70 million on negative ads, but is still tied in the polls with John Kerry. Your work has sent a powerful message to George W. Bush and those who would reduce this campaign to a petty exchange of attack ads: we know what this election really means -- and we won't stop until we've won. We need to make a "Miracle in May" happen and keep...

LAKE FOREST PARK -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton swept through a bookstore here yesterday afternoon, signed close to 2,000 copies of her best-selling memoir, "Living History," in two hours and left behind a dazed crowd of admirers and a dozen Hillary haters.

Mrs. Clinton Is Forgiven, but for a PriceBy JOYCE PURNICK URING her big book party at the Four Seasons on Monday, Hillary Rodham Clinton was asked if she found it painful to relive her rough marital days. "It was difficult," she said. "It, you know, they were very difficult times; they should have remained personal and private matters. But they were pulled into the public so I felt I had to, you know, write about what was part of the public history." She got that right. She did have to. Those are the rules, unwritten but unyielding. New York's junior...

THERE WAS a time when women used to talk about looking for ''skirts'' among the ''suits'' at a Senate hearing or in a governor's office. So what do you say about a year when the fashion statement of the typical female candidate was a pants suit?

CRUSTY THE PANTSUIT(To the tune of "Frosty the Snowman") Crusty the pantsuit Was like clothes that you'd discard, With a sweat-stained top And a stretched-out butt And two legs that smelled like lard. Crusty the pantsuit Was pulled out most ev'ry day. As she put it on, Hilly sang this song: "Black is slimming, so they say." She must have bought the pantsuit from A wizard or an elf, For when she took it off at night, It stood up all by itself! Oh . . . Crusty the pantsuit Was a fashion felony, But the Freepers say, "We can...
