Hillary's cleavage

I came across this by accident today, since I missed the Sunday morning talk shows this week. IMO, though she's wearing a v-neck, it's hardly revealing enough for comment (this picture is poor and doesn't provide the full effect). It's silly, but also upsetting - it's a Pulitzer Prize winning WOMAN writing about this crap!

Here's some commentary:

Washington Post
Cleavage & the Clinton Campaign Chest
By Howard Kurtz

A journalistic assessment of Hillary Clinton's cleavage became the most improbable presidential campaign controversy yet as her team yesterday rolled out a fundraising letter calling a Washington Post column on the subject "grossly inappropriate" and "insulting."

One week after the piece, by fashion writer Robin Givhan, took note of the Democratic candidate's relatively low neckline during a speech on the Senate floor, senior Clinton adviser Ann Lewis urged donors to "take a stand against this kind of coarseness and pettiness in American culture."

Givhan, who won a Pulitzer Prize for criticism last year, said she disagreed "that there was anything in the column that was coarse, insulting or belittling. It was a piece about a public person's appearance on the Senate floor that was surprising because of the location and because of the person. It's disingenuous to think that revealing cleavage, any amount of it, in that kind of situation is a nonissue.
