Cleavage 101

A fashion choice by Sen. Hillary Clinton created a minor public debate last week:

Hillary Clinton's Tentative Dip Into New Neckline Territory (link)
...It was startling to see that small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity peeking out of the conservative -- aesthetically speaking -- environment of Congress. After all, it wasn't until the early '90s that women were even allowed to wear pants on the Senate floor. It was even more surprising to note that it was coming from Clinton, someone who has been so publicly ambivalent about style, image and the burdens of both.

The US debates Hillary's cleavage (link)
...The story has even been taken up by the Clinton campaign itself, in a fundraising e-mail that went out to supporters saying, "Frankly, focusing on women's bodies instead of their ideas is insulting" and urging readers to "Take a stand against this kind of coarseness and pettiness in American culture. And take a stand for Hillary, the most experienced, most qualified candidate running for president.”

Because SOMEONE has to, I'll help sort things out.

In regard to women politicians and their public displays of cleavage, here's how the voting goes:

Sen. Hillary Clinton - NO


House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - NO


Argentine Sen. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner - YES!!!!


There endith the lesson.
