Let Me Get This New Clinton Joke Off My Chest

Here’s a joke I wish I would have thought of earlier.
First, the set-up: Saturday’s Washington Post has this Howard Kurtz piece:
A journalistic assessment of Hillary Clinton’s cleavage became the most improbable presidential campaign controversy yet as her team yesterday rolled out a fundraising letter calling a Washington Post column on the subject “grossly inappropriate” and “insulting.”
One week after the piece, by fashion writer Robin Givhan, took note of the Democratic candidate’s relatively low neckline during a speech on the Senate floor, senior Clinton adviser Ann Lewis urged donors to “take a stand against this kind of coarseness and pettiness in American culture.”
That’s all well and fine.
More intriguing, however, is that the Post website again runs this picture:
Above the picture it says “Enlarge This Photo.”So I did.
Ah, they’re right. Much better that way. Just like plastic surgery.
