Hillary: My ’do is a don’t
New York Post, by Andy Soltis

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 12/13/2012 5:13:28 AM

Hillary Rodham Clinton admits she’s never been good at coiffure — and that being secretary of state is an endless bad hair day. “I do not travel with any hairdresser, or anybody, to help me do that, and I’m not very competent myself,” she dished to ABC’s Barbara Walters. “I’ve been admitting that for years, which should be obvious to everyone,” she joked in an interview. Since she came to national attention as Bill Clinton’s headband-wearing spouse, her more-than-40 different hairstyles and lengths have received constant scrutiny.

She isn´t very good at shampoo either. What a bunch of garage, with her connections she could find someone to give her pointers a good style even she could do just takes effort.

What a load of bull-squeeze, as Neil Boortz would say. She has an entourage that Ari Gold would envy. This is a cultivated shabby look. I´m a-guessin´ that in the spring of 2016 [Mayan calendar permitting], the Beast will emerge with a perfect hairdo and a few lbs less.

The oxymoron of this story is the word ´joked´ in any quote involving the Hildabeest.

"...I’m not very competent..."

Could this be the first time Hillary Clinton has ever spoken honestly, about anything?

Her explanation just doesn´t wash. I know dozens of busy working women who do just fine caring for their hair and general appearance. Not being able to care for your own good grooming and hygiene is a sign of senility, not of an overly busy schedule.

I have my hair cut ever five weeks. I wash it every other day. It´s a good cut that I can are for easily and my hair always looks much better than Herself´s dirty hair. She looked very good during her run for the presidency.

It can be done.

Her hair usually looks lank, dirty. Any dummy can wash her hair in the shower. Assuming she showers?

She needs to give up the debutante length and get a good cut. The slicked back ponytail is better than just letting the whole mess hang there.

She is not a particularly attractive woman and her age is showing. The hair is not helping.

I agree with those who believe this is her schtick, the "I don´t care about hair--I have loftier things on my mind" persona she tries to reflect. Good old gravitas.

Washing her hair daily would be a step in the right direction. I have said before that her hair is almost pretty when it is clean, but let it go and it is just plain nasty.

In today’s vapid, superficial, political milieu, image is everything. When it comes to issues of vital national and international importance, it’s nevertheless difficult somehow to visualize Wife Hillary’s coiffure, conveniently located around her head, without also visualizing Husband Bill’s trousers, conveniently located around his ankles.

She´s well known in DC for her poor hygiene. It´s all part of the hippie lesbian thing. Bet her body hasn´t made contact with a razor in decades. It would explain the pants suits beyond her fat ankles.

Hillary Clinton has changed her hair style more times than I can count. Queen Elizabeth has kept the same style for 60+ years. The Queen doesn´t look like she fusses much about her hair, but she certainly doesn´t go out with it dirty.

I have sympathy for Hillary´s aging problem as I share the same birth-year. But a good haircut and color once every four weeks costs me $100 in rural NH and even given the higher costs of DC or NYC it surely is within her price range! She just doesn´t care.

PS All the women who won the Democrat NH elections are either lesbians or look like lesbians: it is a point of honor among them to not be attractive to men.

Republican women usually look better groomed on TV than Dem women.
Even Madeline Albright was well groomed. (She did the best she could with what she had to work with.)
My hair stylist gives me a haircut that will look good for several months. Certainly PIAPS can afford a decent hair style that will be easy to maintain.

Just a good cut and a texturizer will do it.

Well, when she was campaigning for Pres. back in 08 her hair did look good. Someone was with her to style it and fix it. So she can come through when there is a game.

I share her age plus a few more and gave up the hot rollers and curling irons long ago. Just find some one to cut your hair the way it grows so that all you have to do in the morning is run a brush through it. Even the wind cannot damgage it. This isn´t rocket science, she just doesn´t care. If she can´t care about her personal appearance then she doesn´t care enough to hold the job she has or even being President of the USA. We already have one of those and it is disasterous. I am pretty sick of all of them.

Condaleeza Rice always looked like she just stepped out of a band box (old expression for looking fabulous). In fact, her hair and dress style improved in her years as SOS. And, she was always a lady.

As another poster said, PIAPS (I´ve missed that expression) does think we´re fools to buy this BS and may prove to be right come 2016. Barbara et al will help her along and whitewash her past. For some reason, Americans have very short memories.

There are feminazis/anachronisms from the 60´s who believe good hygiene goes against their beliefs. The phrase "dirty hippie" was based in truth.

For the first time in my life, I agree with her. I have a bad hair life, and the ONLY way to keep it under control is keep it long and braided. It´s baby fine, very straight, very thick, and grows very fast. Perms don´t take, styles don´t stay in (yes, with both mousse and spray), and I can´t afford to get it fixed every day (which she could), AND I have to be at work at six in the morning. Shorter hair clings to my head like a seal pelt. Medium hair loses all body within hours. And the braid is usually fuzzed out by the end of the day.

Glad I wasn´t drinking coffee when I read #35 so I just spewed cracker & cream cheese, haha. As a woman, I do sympathize with any woman´s hair issues, and boy does Hill has ´em in spades. Probably the worst to me is when she pulls it back. She finally stumbled upon a winning do last night though not sure it was her real hair.

I never understand all the attention we conservatives give to this women’s appearance. Get over it, she just looks like the middle age supervisor at most offices in America. (And frankly she dresses better than most, considering office casual is now something my Mom would have not worn to shop at Waymart’s.) I said this before, she is not running for the acting role of Secretary of State, she IS the Secretary of State, an Office that does not have a dress code other then look nice and decent.
Ok, She has no taste what so ever in her choices and, well hair has never been a priority. But let’s be truthful here, no matter what she looked like all the above post would find fault. We don’t like her politics, period, but that has nothing to do with her hair, I have seen many male politicians who would benefit with some pointers on how not to cover his bald spot.

#22 and #43 had me laughing.

I agree w/ #3. As soon as she resigns as SoS, she´ll be at the exclusive spa, losing weight and having her body re-styled, extreme make-over. She´ll not only shed pounds, but wrinkles. She could donate enough skin to save a burn victim, but she´ll have the doc dispose of it secretly. The cover up will be bigger than Benghazi.

Agree with #46 to some degree. I think we conservatives should refrain from appearance-bashing.

I have a different theory than most here:

Hillary is intentionally letting herself look tired, haggard, and somewhat unkempt. She believes this makes her look "serious" and will convince the public she´s "working hard."

And indeed she seems to be successful in this bit of image-manipulation. She´s an absurdly under-qualified hack who has done nothing but harm; yet polls show the public admires her and thinks she´s doing a great job.


Reply 50 - Posted by: kono, 12/13/2012 11:32:52 AM     (No. 9063464)

We´ve all learned by now that Hillary´s every move is carefully calculated, with a specific political aim.

Seems plausible that she´s setting everything up for her to wow people in 2015. (Compared to the maximally-frumpy look she´s sporting now, any attempt to look professional will be a notable improvement.)


Reply 51 - Posted by: kono, 12/13/2012 11:42:23 AM     (No. 9063486)

Secondary suspicion: Hillary has always admired the animal kingdom for having pretty, frivolous males whose principal purpose is reproduction, with the females doing all the important things and expected not to have attention-grabbing appearances.

She seeks not only the Presidency in 2016, but a fundamental transformation of human culture to better-mimic the matriarchial ways of animals, and to marshal all overt authority and influence to women.

She´s never been after just sexual equality. She´s always hoped to effect a radical reversal of sex roles in society. Cultivating this look before she gains the most powerful job in the world is an important step in that plan.

Who really cares about Hilarys straggly hair , at least it goes well with a broomstick.It´s that she is in a position in which she is habitually lieing. She is either travelling abroad or has a summer cold . This enables her to dodge House explainng before many elected politicians about Benghazi such as who gave the ´stand down´ amd Iranian born Jarrett negotiating in Iran for the USA. Bowing to the Saudis , asking for help in delivering arms to the rebels in Syria, it´s mind boggling ! Enough is Enough.

I´m going to defend Hillary a bit, here.
Hillary travels the world constantly , while King Barry stays home and luxuriates and relaxes.
Going through multiple time zones a couple of times a week is physically exhausting .
King Barry sent Richard Holbrooke all over the world
and he died suddenly at 69.
Barry is and always has been a lazy slob and he makes Hillary and the other women do the heavy lifting.
When he travels on our Boing VC-25 , he irritates the traveling media by disappearing into the bedroom
for hours , no doubt with his companion Reggie Love .
He´s also known to play cards while aboard Air Force One.
While Jarrett and Michelle are pouring over policy papers on how to destroy the country,
Barry plays Old Maid.

As with every other elephant in even the most modest of zoos, there must have been a a hose-person at the ready to give herself! the occasional rinsing.

She is just a mess. Period. I don´t care what length her hair is or isn´t. I just think if she has that kind of money and is in the public eye, she should do more to make herself look presentable--even in this day and age of casual everyday. I don´t have the time or physical energy to do much with myself anymore but, unlike her, I can still make myself look okay without much fuss.

Agree with No. 8 - the lib broad in my family actually goes to a barber & gets a style resembling a crew-cut. She looks awful, but she doesn´t seem to care. (She did have those luminere things put on her teeth & now she looks like she wears bright, white dentures). When she was young & cute, she was a cheerleader & a prom queen, but she "found her voice" as a militant feminist & outgrew the desire to please mortal men with her appearance. It´s all about having such big, serious things on your mind that you have no time for frivolous things like grooming doncha know!

I tend to agree that she´s just an old hippie. If you look at her early photos, she never seemed to care about her appearance.

However, #50 and #51 have a point. She will look a lot better for 2016.

Despite the WaPost, Benghazi
Is a Major Scandal
American Spectator, by Quin Hillyer    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/21/2013 6:16:56 AM     Post Reply
There’s a huge red flag in the Benghazi mess, but conservatives are letting the media get away with using a red herring to avoid it. Give the establishment media credit for obstinacy: Once it settles on a standard narrative or explanation for a particular subject, it shows remarkable discipline in explaining away any evidence that contradicts its own approved spin. So it has been with the media’s 250-day old determination to downplay the scandalous nature of the Obama administration’s treatment of its outpost in Benghazi before, during, and after the terrorist attack there that took four American lives.

Lawmakers across the country are tussling over the Obama administration´s plans to create a small army of assistants to guide millions of Americans as they sign up for new health-insurance options available this fall. Backers of the health-care overhaul face an uphill battle to spread the word about the law, in the face of consumer research that suggests most uninsured people know little about it and are skeptical about the value of health insurance generally. Some Democrats have openly worried that the administration is doing too little to make sure the enrollment process goes smoothly. That is where the "patient navigators"

Labor unions are breaking with President Obama on ObamaCare. Months after the president’s reelection, a variety of unions are publicly balking at how the administration plans to implement the landmark law. They warn that unless there are changes, the results could be catastrophic. The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (UFCW) — a 1.3 million-member labor group that twice endorsed Obama for president — is very worried about how the reform law will affect its members’ healthcare plans. Last month, the president of the United Union of Roofers, Waterproofers and Allied Workers released a statement calling “for repeal

Since Hillary Clinton last came up to Capitol Hill, we’ve learned senior State Department officials sought to scrub references to terrorism from the infamous Benghazi talking points to insulate Foggy Bottom from political criticism — citing concerns of their “building’s leadership” to justify the demands. The rising temperature of the scandal means it’s possible that Hillary could be asked to return and testify again. If she comes back, she had better be prepared, says House Oversight and Government Reform chairman Darrell Issa. “We are interviewing lots of people, most of them under oath,” Issa says, describing the “methodical” approach his committee

We hear a lot, these days, about how President Obama is not like Lyndon Johnson and thanks be to heaven for that small mercy. The point seems to be that the president doesn´t know how to arm twist, sweet talk, bribe, and emasculate both friend and enemy (of which he truly had neither) in order to further his agenda. Since many among the chattering class believe, still, in that agenda, his is generally regarded as an excellent presidency. Never mind that more than half a century after Johnson declared war on poverty ...

First they came for Fox News, and they did not speak out – because they were not Fox News. Then they came for government whistleblowers, and they did not speak out – because they were not government whistleblowers. Then they came for the maker of a You Tube video, and – okay, we know how this story ends. But how did we get here?Turns out, it’s a fairly swift sojourn from a president pushing to “delegitimize” a news organization, to threatening criminal prosecution for journalistic activity by a Fox News reporter, James Rosen,

More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
