What Harriet Jones (yes we know who you are) did by blasting the ship to me was justifiable given that the doctor may not be available always.

She looks dirty and unkempt because she is dirty and unkempt.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Perhaps. I’m just old enough to recall a time when expecting a woman to shower and fix her hair was considered a form of Patriarchal Oppression.

OKKKKK ...

At the White House correspondents' star-studded extravaganza this past weekend, Hollywood comedian Cecily Strong piously browbeat reporters for focusing on Hillary Clinton's looks, pushing the premise that they were a bunch of sexists. It was off-key, for plenty of reasons.

I saw this. Mizz Strong's pitch was mostly consisting of I am Woman Hear Me Roar stuff and leftist agitprop and LGBTQ Rah Rah'ing.

No thanks.

Hillary looks just awful compared to Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker. And that could come out BIG TIME at the Presidential debates.

We can hate Barack Obama all we want, but back in 2007-2008 he was completely telegenic compared to all the competition.

Can’t polish a greedy, criminal, turd.

I could see it now .... here she is, having a ‘heart-to-heart talk’ with the current Russian leader, and what might she be wearing???

A BABUSHKA!!!!

How tough, how disciplined, how stern, might she look, then?
Remember the old gypsy woman who was at hand, when Larry Talbot became out-of-sort once he was bitten, and became The Wolfman???

“Frumpy” is my adjective of choice....

Women have decided NOT to don a uniform in the same way that professional men do. The few men in politics who make an attempt to look different than their cohorts are regularly made fun of... ie Boehner and his everlasting tan. If women don’t want comments made about their ever changing hair styles and wardrobe choices... then wear the same thing...just like the men.

Please don’t compare Granny Clampett to The Flying Buttress!

Granny doesn’t deserve that.

I could frankly give two bleeps about how she looks. I'm voting for an executive director, not prom queen.

Hillary sucks because she's unqualified for the job, has horrific policy views, and is corrupt.

[LibertarianLiz]

Yeah, toward the end of her gig with the State department she went full-bore alcoholic, didn’t she?

Yeah, that was my first thought. When you are drunk, you really don't care what you look like. I noticed that she got much worse after Huma married. I think Huma helped her with how to dress, and make-up.

So, that I don't look like I'm only bashing Hillary!; I find that the actress Kate Winslet is the same. When someone is doing her hair and dress, she looks great. Otherwise, she looks like a homeless person.

[LibertarianLiz]

Please, please don’t take this as a defensive of the Idiot in the WH; but, if you look at before/after pics of any President; they all age rapidly in office. You have the weight of the world on your shoulders, really.

I completely agree. At the time, I told my husband that it was a well-spoken, nicely dressed black man vs. Grumpy Grandpa at those debates.

You don't say.

Fortunately, we have the example the left set in their attacks on Sarah Palin in 2008 to guide how we should weigh appearance in our comments on the old frump.
