Hillary Clinton's expression, right hand clasped over her mouth in astonishment, is largely responsible for making the above photo iconic--and, to at least one newspaper, sexually suggestive...
< snip >
Turns out she was probably just coughing during that crucial moment captured by White House photographer Pete Souza. But nevertheless, the image still proved a bit too racy for at least one of the many newspapers that printed it.
That would be the Ultra-Orthodox Hasidic broadsheet Der Tzitung. The paper photoshopped Clinton, as well as the only other woman who could be seen in the room--Audrey Tomason, the national director of counterterrorism--out of the frame.
"Apparently the presence of a woman, any woman, being all womanly and sexy all over the United States' counterterrorism efforts was too much for the editors of Der Tzitung to handle," noted the prominent women's blog Jezebel.
Indeed, "The Hasidic newspaper will not intentionally include any images of women in the paper because it could be considered sexually suggestive," Rabbi Jason Miller explains in The Jewish Week.

Oh c'mon, already. Does that really look like a "cough"?
“My cousin, with exzctly the same qualifications, worked for the Missouri Highway Department doing something regarding bridges.”
Seems appropriate. Civil engineering, bridges...yup, those go together.
Yes ... roads, bridges, giant construction equipment. It does seem appropriate to someone with a Civil Engineering degree from the School of Mines.
I think the school has changed its name since my cousin Tim and the Democrat lady who must be closer to 40 than 30 went there. The Missouri state colleges went through a renaming flurry about ten years ago, and did things like changing “North East Missouri State University” to “Truman State University.” Not that that’s bad, although I’d have liked “Pershing State” better. At least attendees probably learn who Truman was.
“She worked in the CIA for over a decade”
In a CIA politicized by Beelzebubba and not cleaned out by Bush. I don’t consider that to be a recommendation.
“she is an assistant, so she may not actually be in a decision making position.”
Surely a person must possess a certain set of KSAs to provide any assistance in that role.
“She may be one of the people who make the wheels go ‘round, so to speak.”
You mean a “Monica?” Could be just a straight-up affirmative action/nepotism hire.
Are Hasidic women allowed to read the newspaper?
“I’m not so sure I want a 33-year-old guiding the POTUS and it is certainly unnerving a sitting POTUS is heavily relying upon a 33-year-old for crucial decisions.”
I’m quite sure that I do not want anyone who would accept a job from Barry to be working for the government in any capacity.
Several of the very traditional Jewish newspapers do not print photos of any women, sexy or no. It’s just a custom. Amazing to me that it was photoshopped though!
