Wouldn't be the first time...

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton is angry with The Washington Post for reporting on her cleavage after she wore a black top with a low neckline on the Senate floor. But always the opportunist, she is using the story to try to boost her presidential campaign.
A fundraising e-mail from campaign adviser Ann Lewis urges potential donors to "take a stand against this kind of coarseness and pettiness in American culture." Focusing on women's bodies instead of their minds is "insulting. ... It's insulting to our daughters �” and our sons �” who are constantly pressured by the media to grow up too fast."
That's rich. This is the same Ann Lewis who as White House communications director helped craft the "nuts-and-sluts" strategy Bill Clinton used against women who said he had groped or raped them, according to The New York Times. And this is the same Ann Lewis who complained bitterly that when Anita Hill lodged false sexual-harassment charges against then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, "she found herself savagely attacked; her integrity, morality, sanity called into question ... . This sends the message that if you step forward, especially against someone who holds power, you will be victimized again by his friends and allies."
Ann Lewis is the next-to-the-last person who should gripe about cultural coarseness and children being pressured to grow up too fast. After all, didn't she help her old boss try to convince a whole generation of young people that oral sex isn't sex?
Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this list, let me know.
The Hill has man boobs?
"And if you don't believe me, ask my husband Bill, or ask Monica Lewinsky."
The quip was by a brilliant FReeper about Princess Nancy, but it might apply to Hillary as well.
Slightly modified....That’s not cleavage, that’s a wrinkle
It was a tempest in a B cup.
Hildebeast a victim—oh please!
Yet we hear nothing when Fred’s wife gets trashed for her cleavage (including by the Mitt-wits here.)
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Hillary! arranged this little snit. Just another opportunity to play the victim card.
“Well FRED’S wife is young enough to be his daughter!!!”, never mind that Monika was young enough to be Bill’s.
Wouldn't be the first time...
And where was she when Katherine Harris was being raked over the coals for wearing too much makeup? That’s the sound of crickets chirping you hear.
If she were 30 with a lovely bust and skin that doesn’t resemble chicken tracks no one would have remarked other than isn’t she pretty!
The problem dear heart is that Hillary (and Pelosi) are old. OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD.
There is nothing wrong with being old. I am a crotchety old broad who gets nastier and less patient with the whole shebang in politics and media every hour.
Old saggy skin and breasts need to be covered or else you will have controversy. ~And none of it pretty.
(To be fair to the old saggy skinned feminists out there, I find old men with saggy boobs and chicken track skin need to be just as covered.)
ROFL!
She just has a short mammary, I guess..
give thanks for little favors ....we don’t have to see Ann Lewis’s cleavage
We focus on their bodies instead of their minds in order to accentuate the positive.
Ann Lewis is Barney Franks’ sister. Can you imagine the dinner table conversation when those two were growing up?
For the record, I change the channel whenever smarmy Ann Lewis takes the mic.
Good grief! Bubba looks like he’s about to strangle the Hildebeast.
