You cannot "makeup" Hillary's latest excuse
Don Surber Blog Spot ^ | 9-27-17 | Don Surber

Briana Draguca of Us magazine reported that Hillary spent 600 hours in 2016 having her beautician apply her makeup.

(Discipline, Don. Don't write it. We all know what you want to say, but if you say it, you will regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.)

I think Golda Meir may have put on lipstick once or twice.

Golda Meir is the standard. Not Eleanor "I Married a President" Roosevelt. Not Angela Merkel. Not even Margaret Thatcher.

From Us magazine:

“I’ve never gotten used to how much effort it takes just to be a woman in the public eye,” Clinton wrote in her memoir, according to an excerpt provided to Refinery29. All of that effort to fit society’s beauty standards resulted in a lot of time spent in the hair and makeup chair during her campaign — Clinton calculated a grand total of  “about 600 hours, or 25 days. I was so shocked, I checked the math twice.”

Even though Clinton stayed productive during those hours by preparing for briefings and scheduling phone calls, she still hated to spend valuable time that her male counterparts didn’t have to. “I’m not jealous of my male colleagues often, but I am when it comes to how they can just shower, shave, put on a suit, and be ready to go. The few times I’ve gone out in public without makeup, it’s made the news,” she wrote.

After 50 years of hearing women complain about the double standards they face, I have run out of empathy.

The money quote is:

25 days a year she is putting on makeup?

That means in four years, we would be paying for 100 days of powdering her nose.

America, we just escaped eight years of hearing Hillary blame others for her mistakes as president.

That’s a lot of guilt to cover up.

So she spent more time in the makeup chair than actually going out and campaigning?

There's no reason she couldn't do any of that...........

Good Lord.

I haven’t spent 6 minutes a day on makeup and I was required to be made up, coiffed and dressed to the nines when I was a corporate flight attendant.

Guess it just takes more time to prettify um... others.

On the dread of make up, Hillary didn’t appear to like to bathe or shampoo except when running for office.

Remember that awful photo of her in the US Senate right after she won? GAD! She was resting her slabs on her hand at a desk in a hearing half asleep with hag hair, no make up and lids half closed.

600? She needed at least 6,000 hours.
