I know Hillary is going to chide us for paying attention to her hair...

... but look how she's presenting herself as she begins her book tour:



Her hair is so minutely, so fussily attended to. It's engineered into some desperate, pathetic statement of what she thinks we want in the name of credible power and residual femininity.

The cropped photograph accompanies a "Today" show website item titled "Hillary Clinton: I refused to ‘attack’ Palin for ‘being a woman.'"
"The day she was nominated, the Obama campaign did contact me and asked me if I would attack her,” Clinton said in an interview with NBC’s Cynthia McFadden, airing in full tonight on Nightly News. "I said, 'Attack her for what — for being a woman? Attack her for being on a ticket that's trying to draw attention? There'll be plenty of time to do what I think you should do in politics, which is draw distinctions.'"
Oh! The sisterhood!  Sisterhood is powerful... and yet...

I dare you to say "Hillary Clinton's strong feminist principles" without laughing.

Really just "Clinton's principles" would do it I guess.

Caring about white women's hair is racist toward black people, now pay me!

FleetUSA said...

Everything in Clinton land is calculated. Even look backs which might be invented long after they occurred.

Who knows if she said that then. BHO won't challenge her comment.

Marty Keller said...

Still not going to vote for her--unless she runs against David Duke.

Michael said...

Hilarious. Gosh, it isn't nice to ask meany faced questions of women like Palin. Hopefully all that ugliness is behind us

Quick, Hillary, what are your four favorite quotes from Emmanuel Kant? OK, then, Karl Marx.

And judging from the Today Show video, it might be time to invest in the makers of soft focus lenses.

Hagar said...

Some other article said there is something wrong about Hillary's account of the timing of the incident, and that it just could not have happened at that time.

Brando said...

It's as though she can't utter a single sentence without tossing a lie in there.

Agreed.

I still can't believe they named a university after that guy....

Pat said...

Hillary should have paid attention to the common liberal bumper sticker about Palin, which read "She's not a woman."

As my whimsy leads me.. said...

I think the style just emphasizes how she had let her hair go for so long with the long, unattractive mess she was wearing while Secretary of State. In that little snapshot it doesn't look overdone to me, but probably sprayed like crazy to keep it from collapsing.

On the Sarah Palin comment, did she let the cat out of the bag on how the Obama campaign called in their troops to do their nasty work?

By 2016 this entitled but brain injured old woman will look
wrinkled and gray haired while she claims we owe her for enduring Bill Clinton's abuse in the 1990s. Heck, just make her ambassador to Russia as her retirement gift.

David said...

Everything else is fake. Why not the hair?

Anonymous said...

Remember Palin, right out of the gate, spoke of her admiration for Hillary as one who pushed women forward. Palin was quite sisterhoody at one time.

chuck said...

It's not her hair that I notice, it's her face. Through some magic of lens and makeup she has lost about 15 years.

MathMom said...

She ran around the world as our representative, looking like a toad. But she washes up nice when she wants more power from us.

Hillary! Just. Go. Away.

White people are incredible,...

Drago,

"I still can't believe they named a university after [David Duke]…."

ROTFLMAO!!!

. . . the Obama campaign did contact me and asked me if I would attack her,” Clinton said in an interview with NBC’s Cynthia McFadden, airing in full tonight on Nightly News. "I said, 'Attack her for what — for being a woman?

I call complete and utter BS on all of this:

1). It is the job of politicians to "attack" their opponents in an election. Are we to be shocked, shocked that coordinated attacks are suggested and requested in a campaign?
2). In this telling, it is HRC who suggests (or ponders) the attack on the gender circumstance of SP. Why would she do that? Answer: she wouldn't
3). If it was not HRC who generated the idea of an attack on Sarah Palin's womanhood, who exactly was it? Great question for some curious report to ask. As a matter of fact, it's the only question to ask after that kind of statement. I'll tell you who it was - it was nobody.
4). On a more practical basis, how exactly do you possibly "attack someone for being a woman? How do you suggest it with a straight face and how would you possibly execute it.
5). On an even more practical basis, just how does a woman attack another woman for being a . . . . woman?

This is so nonsensical that it cannot be true.

The Godfather said...

I never understood why Hillary (or, if you prefer, Hillary!) presented herself as such a mess while she was Secretary of State: Hair all stringy, face pudgy, glasses, etc. Now she's fixed her hair and lifted her face, so I guess either she's running or she really wants to sell her book.

OK, who am I kidding? Of course she's running.

You remember that you had to put a stake in Dracula's heart to stop him? Democrats can do that in the primaries in 2016, as they did in the 2008 primaries, or the general electorate will have to do it in November 2016. Or this repellant person will have the opportunity to make Americans long for the Obama era.

Skeptical Voter said...

I have to tell you as a man, and speaking from a man's viewpoint, I don't give a good goldang what here hair looks like. It's what's between her ears that counts. Frankly whatever comes out of her mouth smells like a fresh wind off a garbage dump--metaphorically speaking of course.


She could look like a young and nubile Raquel Welch (I'm dating myself here) at age 19 in her birthday suit---and I still wouldn't be impressed by what comes out of Hillary.

jimbino said...

Are the people concerned about Hillary's hair the same ones who don't like men in shorts?

gk1 said...

I saw this picture and thought of her new slogan:
"Ridden hard and put away wet" Hillary 2016!

No that's just the progressives. White and black Progressives have all sort of ideas they think the rest of us should do.

Don't pretend black people aren't ordinary human beings and the ones involved in politics don't have power trip issues too Crack. Quit being racist.

I don't care what you do as long as you don't commit crimes. Or father out of wedlock children you don't support. And even if you do, there isn't much I can do about it.

The 3AM call is rescheduled for 3:30AM to allow for the President to fix her hair.

London, please stand by.

This one is a huge chink in the Obama campaign armor. They are very good at campaigning, but this sort of ask for Hillary was cheap and tawdry. You had a bevy of other female democrats who could lead this attack. Team Obama wanted to go to the top female Democrat in the history of the country to attack someone they knew nothing about?

bridgecross said...

I don't see it. Just looks like hair to me. How is this fussily attended to?

gerry said...

residual femininity

That sounds like something dried onto a sanitary napkin...or an incontinence pad.

Doug said...

The fallacy of feminism is it's core tenet that men despise women as much as women do.

The woman of a thousand "do's."

This post sounds like it was written by somebody who doesn't like successful women.
