The Washington Post replies to the Clinton campaign using an earlier story on Clinton’s cleavage as the basis for a fundraising letter:
Stories about the appearance of candidates, from Al Gore’s earth-tones wardrobe to John Edwards’s $400 haircut to a bathing-suit shot of Barack Obama in a People spread on “Beach Babes,” have long been an entertaining sideshow.
How about that. Media figures tend to swoon around Republicans (Romney’s laser-cut jaw and broad shoulders, Thompson has a manly funk) but stories about Democrats always seem to revolve around being image-conscious fakes. Beltway habitues like Kurtz probably don’t even realize it when they pursue stories that just reinforce their own prejudices.

Look, I don’t think I have ever placed any demands on you, or ever censored you, or ever asked you to do anything, but for the love of GOTT im HIMMEL, no more posts about Hillary’s tits.
Zifnab
Hillary has tits?
Punchy
Wow. NINE posts today. You boys have really outdone yourself.
So as not to threadjack, I’ll add this–Hillary aint bad looking for her age. Thank the lord Janet Reno isn’t running.
Final Hillary question–can she tap her hubby as Vice? Is that allowed, being that they are from diffent states as required, or not?

And seriously, even from a strictly superficial sense, what the hell does this say about the media’s judgement. Fred Thomas – the guy with the crypt keeper physique, Mitt Romney – the plastic man, Rudy Guiliani – ugly, John McCain – old AND ugly? These are your playboys of the Republican Primary? Really?
It’s just so lame. Like watching the North Korean News Agency pimp some story about Kim Jong-Il’s giant package. The Emperor has no clothes, kids. Run along.

I think this says more about the media and public’s obsession with tabloid journalism more than anything else really.
Real news died years ago.

John,
I wrapped this package especially for you.

Well since we’re on breasts which leads to sex somewhere (that is unless the breasts are hillary’s) make sure you Breed for Christ and Country

WaPo boobs writing about boobs, go figure…

Well Tim, they don’t call him Dick for nothing, right?
Bush’s is smaller, maybe that’s why he’s so submissive to Cheney.

Oh sweet Cthulhu, now I need to bleach my eyes and brain
Bruce Moomaw
Couldn’t that actually be the mind-controlling alien parasite that attached itself to him shortly after his term as Bush Senior’s Defense Secretary ended?

I would comment on Fred Thompson’s trophy wife, but apparently that’s off limit.

I think we need more pieces not fewer about how Hillary’s cleavage emboldens our enemies.

I’m a little ashammed to put up a link like this, but hell, it’s Friday!
(At least it’s balanced. . . .)

Jeezus, Jon. I think you’ve even beaten Greenwald on long blog posts. How long can you pontificate about breasts?! (assuming you’re the same Jon Swift as the page you linked to)
There was an article in the Oregonian about Hillary’s breast. Or rather why it’s a silly discussion. It is a silly discussion.
That said, I know that breasts emboldens not only our enemies but all men too. I’m feeling embolden right now!

Well, the truth finally comes out at RedNeckState! In a thread talking about Fredo Thompson, the member ‘bs‘ had this to say about RS:
Priceless! RedNeckState member ‘bs‘ must have missed the daily dose of kool-aid over there. I like how he specifically delineates RS from the ‘real world’.
Wow, a rare moment of wingnut honesty. Better up the kool-aid dose!

I have some advice for the Washington Post, just a little something I’ve learned over the years.
Most women don’t like it if you stare at their boobs when talking to them.
That is all.

Eww…that just sounds really unappetizing.
True. But if she’s obviously put some effort into gettin’ the puppies out there for show (especially if she put that effort in on YOUR behalf), then an appreciative glance is not unwelcome.

If I dood it I get in trouble….I doos it!
Very vwell we shall cease talking about Hillary’s tits.
We shall talk about Hillary’s nipples instead.
Innies or Outies?
rachel
There’s innie nipples? That just seems so wrong.

Al Gore wants someone as green as he is like DAVID SUZUKI
