The Senator Wears Prada (Maybe)

Posted Jul 20, 07 3:20 PM CDT in Politics,  Arts & Living,  US 

(Newser) – Hillary Clinton was discussing the high cost of college, but some eyes were trained on the low cut of her neckline. Under the senator’s pink blazer sat a black top that revealed a modicum of cleavage and caught the eye of Washington Post fashion editor Robin Givhan, who finds even the subtle expression of sexuality and femininity “startling.”

Givhan traces Clinton’s last foray into va-va-voom fashion to her husband’s first term, when she donned a shoulder-revealing Donna Karan gown. After a long break, Clinton has once again embraced fashion on the campaign trail. Even though showing cleavage signals a woman’s confidence, Givhan compares it to “catching a man with his fly unzipped.”

    Inside Clinton's Dysfunctional War Machine There are many reasons for Hillary Clinton’s primary defeat, and most of them can be found within the political warrior and the creaking war machine she built, Gail Sheehy writes in Vanity Fair. Invoking the Lincoln administration, Clinton called her bickering advisers a “team of rivals.” Craving secrecy and shaped by White House battle scars, she chose a trustworthy cabal of loyalists—who hated each other.

    Campaign Tarnishes Clintons' Legacy Hillary and Bill Clinton have led complicated public lives, but they’ve always been winners. Now Hillary’s defeat has jeopardized that legacy, thanks to a campaign that saw her repeatedly stretch the truth, invoke assassination, and lose African-American support. It’s one thing to employ questionable tactics and win, one supporter tells the New York Times. “It’s another to go flat-out in that mode and fail.” More »

    GOP Will Lose, Unless Hillary Faces McCain Despite a crippled GOP, the Dems could still lose the White House in '08, Frank Rich writes in the New York Times: All they need is for Clinton to face McCain. 'Billary' alone would provide "two fat targets" to unite Republican rage. Plus a vetting of donors to Bill's presidential library may turn up ugly surprises—not to mention any bad news that may lurk in Hillary's health care documents, millions of which remain under wraps.

    What's Bill Doing in This Picture? Once, Hillary Clinton wanted to keep Bill and his baggage tucked safely in the backseat. Now, as panic takes hold in Iowa, she's set him loose, the latest swerve in a "herky-jerky" campaign that has hopped from strategy to strategy, writes the Politico’s Elizabeth Drew in an analysis of the campaign that once looked "inevitable." If the first woman president needed her husband to win, does that deserve an asterisk? More »
