Someone had to do it.

Upon learning that Monica Lewinsky, 33, graduated from the prestigious London School of Economics with master of science degree in social psychology, Washington Post staff writer Libby Copeland was jolted down to the DNA in her bone marrow: “She did not!!”
The notion that “the same bubbly gal who once described the act of flashing her thong at the president as a ‘small, subtle, flirtatious gesture’ has now written a lofty-sounding thesis … ‘In Search of the Impartial Juror: An Exploration of the Third Person Effect and Pre-Trial Publicity’” was, Copeland wrote, “akin to finding a rip in the time-space continuum, or discovering that Kim Jong Il is a natural blond.”
No argument from The Stiletto so far. But calling this a moment that makes you “question your fundamental assumptions about the world” she advances her thesis that the world is full of “dumb-but-smart” people by resorting to a fundamental assumption – read, gender-bashing stereotype - that is as unfair as it is untrue: “stupidity has historically been as much of an asset for women as double D's.”
The Stiletto understands that women who have teeny breasts are comforted by the fanciful notion that curvy women have teeny brains – but she takes umbrage at “boob bashing” nonetheless. On behalf of bosomy-and-brainy women everywhere, The Stiletto has launched a crusade against “boobism” – the last remaining acceptable form of anti-woman bias.
Even though the most brazen boobists are other women, this flat-out stereotype must still be repudiated once and for all.

Boobist ping
Our double-D daughter found out early that most men assumed she was:
A. Stupid
B. Easy
C. Both
D. If he was really lucky, her daddy owned a liquor store.
She was none of the above and is now completing a PhD in Genetics.
Oh, yeah, and she found a man who looked at her face when he spoke to her. They're married now.....
Yup. Copeland twisted herself up in knots trying to explain why the 21-year old Monica was dumb-but-smart and the man who was more than twice her age was still smart.
Good for Monica!
lets clear up some notions - they aint boobs, theyre udders.....and those brains, were likely the result of "favors" received
Good for her! And what a great guy she's marrying. But do you want to bet that throughout her career, male scientists will give her a hard time? In a male dominated field, men are the biggest boobists of all. In every other area, women are. Clearly, your daughter won the genetics lottery. All the insecure men and jealous women will just have to suck it up and live with it.
Someone had to do it.
Having said that, how about that Monica? Don't let anybody tell you that lady doesn't know how to use her head!
Post of the year!!!!! kudos..
Yeah,
the best thing you can do is ask "What color are my eyes?"
She went to college in England, like Clinton.
Anyone else see unresolved issues here?
'Boobs' in the title of a thread is an automatic 500+ views
Smart guy.
She's at least trying to turn her life around. She could have gotten lipo'd and plastic surgeried enough to go the Playboy route but instead chose to improve her mind. Instead of sinking deeper in the mud, she is lifting herself out of it.
And you just had to be the one!
Um, whose head?
The 'great' question of our time!
