Sexy Hillary Clinton
1 comment July 20th, 2007
Cynic that I am, I was still somewhat surprised at the major story about Hillary Clinton that the Washington Post chose to run. After all, was it not the Washington Post that was the “hero” of Watergate, being one of the pillars of American Journalism. For a moment, I thought I was glancing at the webpage of a supermarket gossip tabloid. But nope, it was the grand old lady herself, the Washington Post. And here is what the Post thought was of earth-shattering significance. You see, while Hillary Rodham Clinton was delivering a speech during a recent session of the Senate, it appears that a tiny bit of her cleavage was visible. A very tiny bit. For only the briefest moment. There it was. That mysterious airspace that lies between the breasts of the former First Lady.
If the cleavage of Hillary Clinton is of such journalistic import, I can suggest that the reporters at the Post have a peek at the cover of my book, “Hillary Clinton Nude: Naked Ambition, Hillary Clinton And America’s Demise.” Drawn by the hand of a skilled artist is a vivid depiction of Hillaryland cleavage, for all to see.
Now, it might just seem strange that Hillary Clinton’s position (or lack of) on the danger of nuclear terrorism, a topic addressed in my blog of the previous day, might be deemed of less importance to the editors at the Washington Post than the visibility of her cleavage. My only take on this is that American journalism is plunging new depths, as it becomes a co-collaborator with the image consultants of major politicians, especially with regards to Hillary Clinton. First they want you to think she is cool in her Sopranos YouTube debut. Now they want us all to think of Hillary Clinton as sexy. Sexy Hillary, it does have a ring to it. So sexy Hillary, the lady with the cleavage, is what we should focus on. As to her ideas, global vision and strategy, if the Washington Post tells us that is less important than being sexy, than I guess we all must accept that Decision 2008 will be about the most inane and superficial presidential election contest in American history.
