Keeping Abreast Of The News
July 25, 2007 at 9:07 am
Reading today’s Washington Post op-ed section was, er, titilating.
… even as Clinton was getting slapped by Edwards for playing down her gender, she was being dissected by Post fashion critic Robin Givhan for showing cleavage: “It was startling to see that small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity peeking out of the conservative — aesthetically speaking — environment of Congress.” Givhan contrasted Clinton’s decolletage with the more abundant display by Jacqui Smith, the new British home secretary, and her complaint seemed to be that Clinton was showing too little, too unassertively.
Might I suggest that sometimes a V-neck top is only a V-neck top? As a person of cleavage, I’d guess that Clinton’s low-cut shirt simply reflected a few centimeters of sartorial miscalculation, not a deliberate fashion statement.
Breasts may be an advantage in certain settings; the Senate floor isn’t one of them.
Breast assured, we haven’t heard the last of this.

If that neckline plunges and lower, Bill may make a pass at her. Let’s pray she remembers that two thongs don’t make a right.
