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.

ping.
The article isn't about Monica's boobs. The article mentions women with boobs being stupid. The article also mentions Ashton Kutscher (spelling?) in the same way - hunky guy can't have degree in biochem. There whole thing is an exercise in "lookism" and "boobism" because her argument doesn't have any merit so she has to resort to name-calling.
Eggs Ackley Hildy!
A photograph of the Seattle Needle Tower....
As Toby Keith said: "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was."
Ahem...that would be the Space Needle in Seattle...
Only G-d can make a tree. This is man-made. Doesn't count.
He has a science degree of some kind, maybe not biochem.
LOL.....I was waiting on someone to ask that. I worked with enough Brits in my day to know: it's pronounced "WIN-ging", the first g is 'soft' like in "George". Winging = complaining or whining.
I am not impressed with degrees. I work around enough people with them to know better.
All it proves is that one learns how to study and produce results expected by the professors. There are a variety of methods students use to do this, not all of which are noble. With this woman, I REALLY wonder. It does not prove anyone is better then anyone else or more gravity should be given to someone when they open their mouths. Generally it is a ticket to a job interview. Experience, wisdom, common sense, people skills and real world ability to demonstrate useful abilities are more important as far as I seen things. So good for her getting a degree. Now is she going to do anything that matters with it? Or just use her infamous name to get a job with some group that will exploit her fame for their own purposes. I do not like this woman I can tell you that.
Best laugh I've had in days. Thank you. :)
Now, don't you feel the boob? (pun intended) ;^)
I have had this problem with women's breasts staring at me all my life, I have learned to live with it.
What kind of gun do you carry and wear?
Of course I believe in the Easter Bunny too! ;^)
how do legs fit into the grand scheme of things?
