I agree, Rush has misfired here. The photo in question just makes her look mature and serious, it does her no harm. If she wants to be elected she needs to convince people she is the next Thatcher, or the next Golda Meir, someone who can be trusted at the helm of a country at war.
She is not that person, but she needs to be seen as that person, so the photo is actually a boon if anything.
Unless something in someone’s appearance is indicative of their underlying character, its usually better not to bother criticizing it, unless you’re a satirist in which case most anything goes. And there is an element of that in anything Rush does, I realize.
Rush has made fun of haggy, old feminists for as long as I’ve listened to him.
The reason for pointing out the wrinkled, old Hillary go, it is entertaining to compare photos of Hillary from a debate with the haggy photo. It shows how fake politicians are on the inside and outside. Everything is illusion. From the words they say before a camera to the image they portray, it is all a quest for power.
People would like Hillary better if she would get rid of the no wrinkle look and be who she is.
