Sexist? Pelosi's wardrobe

NEW YORK — "The emperor has no clothes," House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi once famously said about President Bush.

Well, actually he has some fairly decent ones, but it's been Pelosi's clothes _ stylish, well-chosen and nicely cut, of the Armani variety _ that have garnered attention since she became the most powerful woman in American politics earlier this month.

[beaversmom]

She's got a nice figure and looks better than Hillary in a pant suit--that's the nicest thing I'll say about her.

[zendari]

Plastic surgery.

[bannie]

RECENT plastic surgery!

The task for the media, McBride says, is to do it in proper context, and in a way that doesn't reinforce stereotypes.

Yeah, that's the task of the media alright. To make sure there's no sexism in reporting about the clothes that politicians wear. Forget about covering the biggest story of the millenium --- that .7 billion women are living in abject slavery. What's really important is that the news coverage of what Nancy Pelosi wears is fair and balanced.

Oh yeah. These "feminists" have their priorities straight. Yes indeed. They do indeedy do.

[spacecowboynj]

Yeah, too bad she's a nutjob. I love this from the article: "Why do we focus on Pelosi's clothes...?"

We? You mean the Upper West Side? Gawd, NYC is the most provincial town in America.

[clintonh8r]

Can't stand her or her politics, but she does know how to dress.

[CyberAnt]

Well .. I still suspect she disappeard just before the election to have another face job - because the "deer in the headlights" look is gone. And .. I don't recall her having that great a figure before .. so maybe a little boob job was added into the program ..??

I'm just guessing, but I just find it comical that the media is all GA GA over what she's wearing and how she looks.

[beyond the sea]

I don't think she had those breasts enlarged.

;-)

So you're saying she's butter-faced?

[bruinbirdman]

Not interested in clothes only face.

Bill approves.....

[Arizona Carolyn]

Looks like she had her boobs lifted recently, too.

[ErnBatavia]

RECENT plastic surgery!

Can we guess during the just passed election hiatus from congress? That's why she looks like a Chinaman now; her eye work hasn't quite settled in yet.

[Screamname]

Recent plastic surgery, one of thousands.

"My face is so tight you could bounce a coin off it and it would go through a cement block!"

[Michael.SF.]

I suppose I would dress nicer also, if I was worth $160,000,000.

[Screamname]

Maybe, but it does make her breasts look like they are hanging on her sides.

[ErnBatavia]

[Salamander]

Snake eyes.

[Salamander]

And she apparently lifted them from Dolly Parton.

[Salamander]

[Texagirl4W]

She also wears pretty necklaces.

[Screamname]

That`s the look he had when he met Paula Jones for the first time and was unzipping his pants.

[ElmoMobito]

Photoshoped

[nmh]

Liposuction and cosmetic surgery do wonders ... er in need of more work with cosmetic facial surgery and of course a conservative brain ... THEN she'd be worth the attention.

[Screamname]

Good, but she is no "hello boys".....

"Doh! Hellooooo boys"

[rottndog]

Well at least her ankles are smaller...

[BunnySlippers]

Liposuction.

[rottndog]

Pelosi waves that finger like Bill Clintoon.

I wonder if she likes cigars...

[Salamander]

Gee...thanks for *that* mental image....:-P

[Screamname]

It`s true though....He had his boys bring Paula around and he promptly introduced himself by unzipping his pants, whipping it out, and telling her to "kiss it". That`s what her whole lawsuit was about, the lawsuit that had Bill denying he ever did such a thing but had him agreeing to pay her $800k in damages anyway. Like David Shippers (a democrat) said, "Since when does an innocent man pay $800 thousand dollars?"

[Marysecretary]

I love these mother/daughter shots.

[ClaireSolt]

Whatever happened to Dems who looked for the union label?

[Fairview]

She's actually an attractive woman for her age. Everybody can just stop making fun of her plastic surgery, because everybody would also be making fun of her if she had kept the natural wrinkles and sags--a woman can't win!

That said, you don't have to be a genius or have superb taste to run out and buy an Armani suit. This suit, however, fits her horribly. If you have a hundred and sixty million bucks to play around with you can get a suit altered so it actually fits. You can even get one made for you instead of buying something overpriced off the rack like this. A man who wore a suit that fit like this would be a laughingstock.

[OrioleFan]

Thanksgiving theme - anyone can dress up a turkey.

[McBuff]

The Jokes on us!

[McBuff]

[Mamzelle]

Yup. The woman has fifty million dollars, and can afford the best in surgery.

[Mamzelle]

160 million? I had read her worth at 55.

[Mamzelle]

LOL--

[linn37]

What a vain woman.

[Michael.SF.]

Ok. Maybe 160 million is a little high, but not by too much:

Pelosi worth 92 million (2003 article)

[Cobra64]

Pelosi waves that finger like Bill Clintoon.

[Cobra64]

Pelosi waves that finger like Bill Clintoon.

[Finalapproach29er]

Clinton piously clucked about the law when he signed it!

It gives the woman the right to ask the "offending" man about the past.

Clinton was poetically snagged in his own web of hypocrisy.

[Salamander]

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that he was actually the 'leader of the free world' for 8 years.

That *can't* have happened.

It just can't.
