Does Our Looks-Obsessed Culture Want to Stare at an Aging Woman? (Rush)

So the question is this: Will this country want to actually watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?

Christ. The fact that this is even being asked speaks volumes about this country.

All right, get out your flame-throwers, but I actually admire her for growing old gracefully in today’s society. And I think this pic is going to do for her what Cary Grant’s shove in the face did for the failing career of the until-then-unloveable Katherine Hepburn. Strange analogy, I know, but I think the pic has the same humanizing effect.

The reason the picture’s so striking is because there aren’t others like it out there, so far as I know. So she’s been doing a good job of hiding the wrinkles. By the time she does get older we’ll have gotten used to her aging, just as we do to other politicians. I don’t like the woman, but Rush is being silly here. The implication is that we wouldn’t put up with another woman candidate, someone like Margaret Thatcher, say, because of her looks and her aging, and that just won’t fly.

That is okay, the more it is written and talked about, the picture will be shown with it:)

Not every voter reads Drudge and FR.

There are corporates who’d probably spend the night with her and Ahmadigenocide to keep freight fuel prices down.

The Democrats picked Jon Carry last time cause he “looked” Presidential

“I actually admire her for growing old gracefully in today’s society?”

There is absolutely nothing to admire about this rapist enabling crooked woman who married a three-time draft dodging criminal who disgraced the highest office in America!

How does one grow old gracefully?????????

[StnCldTruth]

Do they make enough Botox to fix that ???

[webschooner]

Looks like needs a nicely crocheted shall, a crackling fire, a few grand babies and to stay home for ever.

No, this particular witch deserves a prison cell, but what she deserves and what she gets will be two different thingys.

How can we tell now-a-days? LOL!!!!

She may be growing older, but so are we all. She can’t help that. But she can help having the attitude of a spoiled little girl. She’s a socialist Veruca Salt.

It really depends on which aging woman and what she's doing. Hillary addressing "fellow Americans" from the Oval Office? Nope. This aging woman doing her thing? Yeah, I could handle that. She kinda' has a scary high school guidance counselor vibe going, but hey, she's a trendsetter.

rush didn't mention Viagra.....

anyway, "aging" meaning what?....growing older like we all are doing?.....

I am totally, emphatically, pathologically against Hitlery, but her age has nothing to do with it....

look, we saw a young and vigorous conservative man become an idiot and a socialist in 8 yrs, we certainly could handle a woman aging...
