Print Story: Clinton campaign insulted by cleavage article on Yahoo! News

Mon Jul 30, 9:17 AM ET

Insulted by a fashion article about Hillary Clinton's cleavage, her presidential campaign is trying to use the incident to raise money.
A fund-raising e-mail letter signed by Ann Lewis, a senior Clinton adviser, urges potential donors to "take a stand against this kind of coarseness and pettiness in American culture."
The Washington Post on July 20 published an article by its fashion writer, Robin Givhan, that noted Clinton wore a black top with a low neckline during an appearance on the Senate floor to talk about the high cost of college education.
"It was startling to see that small acknowledgment of sexuality and femininity peeking out of the conservative -- aesthetically speaking -- environment of Congress," Givhan wrote.
Lewis wrote: "Would you believe that The Washington Post wrote a 746-word article on Hillary's cleavage?"
She said it was inappropriate for the news media to be "talking about body parts" and that the 2008 presidential campaign should be focused on the issues.
"Frankly, focusing on women's bodies instead of their ideas is insulting. It's insulting to every woman who has ever tried to be taken seriously in a business meeting. It's insulting to our daughters -- and our sons -- who are constantly pressured by the media to grow up too fast," Lewis said.

Who gives a shit? American culture is so ass backwards and twisted when it comes to our bodies. We will disrespect our bodies by treating them like shit, not taking care of ourselves, and eating crap all day, but too much cleavage is somehow a big deal. I wish people would grow up.

I like being in the nude. Now that I have the apartment to myself I close the blinds to not offend anyone, then walk around butt ass naked. I feel so much freer and uninhibited when I take my cloths off. If it wasn't for the harsh weather conditions, I think we all would be happier just walking around naked. I don't understand this hatred of our bodies to the point where a 15% exposed breast is worthy of an article, especially when we have bigger problems.

On the list of fucked up shit happening these days, I think too much cleavage should be on page 72 right behind "are we eating too much garlic as a people". I sort of stole that joke from Lewis Black and changed it, but it applies perfectly in this situation.
