[Scott] Walker aide under fire for 'unnatural sexiness'

Even as the Democratic National Committee profits from the "Republican war on women" meme, liberals opposing Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., have decided to attack the governor by targeting a woman in his campaign on the basis of her history of "unnatural sexiness."

Ciara Matthews, Walker's communications director, is under fire for being both pro-life and a former Hooters restaurant waitress. "Profitting (sic) from selling a plasticized form of unnatural sexiness designed to arouse men while simultaneously believing that women should be forced to face the 'consequences' of actually giving into to their sexual desires is a pretty backward way of thinking," the Jezebel's Erin Gloria Ryan suggested, while apparently trying to embarrass Matthews by posting a "hilarious" photo of her wearing a Hooters uniform. (Curiously, Ryan also said that Matthews' "shouldn't be faulted" for working at Hooters.)

"What is the connection between my being pro-life and working at Hooters?" Matthews countered in an interview with The Capital Times, an outlet that self-describes as a "progressive voice" in Wisconsin. "Is there a hypocritical angle here that I’m not aware of? Is Hooters performing abortions?" Matthews also explained that she worked at Hooters to make money as a college student.........

Definitely,Not Guilty.

Can’t you just see Hilliary Clinton as a “Hooters Girl”?

Perish the thought!

Your eyes are for sh!t pal.

"Profitting (sic) from selling a plasticized form of unnatural sexiness designed to arouse men while simultaneously believing that women should be forced to face the 'consequences' of actually giving into to their sexual desires is a pretty backward way of thinking,"

It takes a LOT to strike me dumb, but this quote... this quote is... I really can't conjure a proper reaction.

What they're essentially saying is "this girl is a slut for working at Hooters and will be raped for working at Hooters and will mother a child because of that rape and should have an abortion so as to not ruin her life."

Just... wow.

[rarestia]

I’m with ya qaz! She’s not OMG I Have To Have Her Hot, but she’s not gross either. I prefer large breasted brunettes, personally.

[bossmechanic]

Thanks for ruining my breakfast!

[6SJ7]

I wouldn’t slam the door on her, but she ain’t that hot.

I'd say she's only gotten better with age...

Would the leftists once and for all give us the definition of the “perfect woman”?

I'd say beyond "pro-abortion" and "voting Democrat" they can't.

Otherwise it's situational and can change not just weekly but daily or even hourly (or minute to minute for that matter).

If you're talking about Sarah Palin, the Perfect Woman aborts her Down's Syndrome child, has her teenage daughter's baby aborted, but of course stays at home and takes care of her family. If you're talking about Ann Romney, the Perfect Woman would have had her own career and a nanny.

Now, if you are talking about women on the other side, whatever decisions they made and whatever they did was Perfect, or at least the Best They Could Do.

Personally, I'm a little tired of this War on Women crap. Get the government out of our lives and our wallets and women, like men, will do a whole lot better. We don't need the government running our lives, either.

Ahhh....That is A.J. Cook NOT Ciara Matthews.

Both pretty.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Rush is going to looooove this.

I hope he is aware of it.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You’re confusing the actress on “Criminal Minds” with Ms Matthews. My fault. I wasn’t clear (thought I was but wasn’t). Oops!

[McGruff]

Would this be appropriate attire in their eyes?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

I think they're into natural unsexiness.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Guilty.

[Jabba the Nutt]

I don’t know if it is a joke,but I’m ROTFLMAO!!! And I don’t laugh out loud that often. I have standards.

We had a neighbor gal who also worked at Hooters as a way to pay for college. She was just as cute as this gal and very conservative.

Ever thought of getting MARRIED, Erin? Oh! How "backward" of me! (perhaps she is such an undesirable mate that she can't get married, who knows?)

Hooter’s has good food. Hooter’s girls don’t have anything to be ashamed of. Women on the beach wear far less clothing.

My second daughter turned 18 and she is large-chested, so she said she was going to work at Hooters for college money. My wife went ballistic - having never actually been inside a Hooters, she could only imagine the evil which lurked inside.

When I finally convinced her to step inside, she was pleasantly surprised both by the less-than skin-showing clothing and the quality of the food. When we left, she said, "She can work here - this isn't a bad place, at all."

Most people who complain about Hooters, have probably never actually been INSIDE a Hooters! They have simply been told that it is a misogynistic, He-Man-Woman-Haters-Club meeting place!

[Carry_Okie]

Whatever happened to celebrating "sex workers"?

I take it that if Matthews had been a prostitute instead Ryan would be OK with that?
