I have got to say, Hillary looks awful today! What happened to her hair and makeup?

[saracat]

She has looked so good a few times.

[sailor65]

1. It's the nose

it grows a little every time she tries to distance herself from NAFTA.

[saracat]

2. Lol!

[liberalnurse]

16. You just don't like Hillary..........

So, we will recognize the post as prejudicial.

[saracat]

19. Actually, while I don't ,I thought she looked great in the other debates!

And she did really well on point.Not today it seems.

[emilyg]

38. Since when do we judge on looks?

[saracat]

50. All the time! Not necessarily "good looks" but appearance and approachability counts!

Remember people wanting to "have a beer with Bush" ? That was image.Hillary just disn'tlook as soft and approachable as she has recently.I think that was a detriment.

[bigdarryl]

3. I'am not going there

[Captain Hilts]

4. It's brutally hot there. nt

[karynnj]

25. Is it one of those awful extremely hot and very very humid days?

I knew many people who esentially gave up on hair on those days. (I grew up outside Chicago)

[Superman Returns]

5. not fair

Just because she's a woman doesn't mean we need to focus on her looks.

[saracat]

7. Why not? We focus on the male's looks too! Are we supposed to cut her a break as she is a woman?

[liberalnurse]

17. Obama looks white tonight.

There,

[saracat]

18. Not.Obama and Edwards look great!

[liberalnurse]

23. I love these Debates!

They all are on the cutting of edge Greatness! O8) I even have kids from the neighborhood here at the house tonight watching..... Four are 15 & 16 and 2 are 10 & 11. All asking questions, clapping getting an ear full!

[JDPriestly]

62. Me too, liberalnurse.

I feel like I'm really seeing the candidates. I love it.

[Clark2008]

45. To be honest, no they did not.

Obama was OK, but Edwards looked as drained and pink and tired as HRC.

I don't much care for Edwards, but I can see why some women think he's cute; however, he didn't look all that cute tonight. Hot, yes, in the true sense of the word - as in melted, wilted, overheated. They all looked like that. :) It's friggin' August during Climate Change!

[ronnykmarshall]

30. You're BAD!

God I love you!

:loveya:

[NotGivingUp]

39. I agree. I'm really sick of that. n/t

[Captain Hilts]

6. Dodd looks uncomfortable too. It's hot. nt

[Yael]

12. Dodd just looks angry

but what else is new...

[Hieronymus]

8. Might it depend on the Chicago audience? In Baton Rouge she had

a big teased up hairdo.

[madrchsod]

9. 88degrees-61% humidity-feels like 96 with no wind in the toilet bowl

need i say more?

[terrya]

22. Exactly

I just went out to the convenience store a half hour ago...even at 7PM, it's still awful out there. Especially in a outdoor stadium full of people.

[madrchsod]

24. staying cool in the big city?

i get up at 5 in the morning to get my outside work done then stay inside for the rest of the day..one advantage of being unemployed! ya it`s brutal out there

[terrya]

26. Trying to.

The air conditioning is on. Bad me, I know. But ugh,

[VolcanoJen]

10. She's rockin' some hot, hot cleavage though.

}(

[Yael]

13. Please tell me you didn't just go there

:lol

[spotbird]

11. Who cares?

Except for Edwards, none of these people are especially good looking. Listen to what they say.

It's horrible.

[dsc]

14. The comments about her looks are getting old

I will say this. I would love to look as good as she does in 90 plus degree weather when I am her age.

[global1]

15. Why Is She Yelling Out All Her Answers - It's Starting To Annoy Me.....nt

[MonkeyFunk]

20. because

when you're in a stadium full of raucus, loud, people, you tend to raise your voice. They're all doing it.

[Peregrine Took]

27. There is a public speaking technique wherein you speak from your diaphragm

and, therefore, don't have to shriek to be heard.

With her money she could well afford to go to a speech coach so she never sounds like this again.

[MonkeyFunk]

28. please...

they were all yelling.

[ronnykmarshall]

32. She's not trying out for the NYC opera.

She's running for President.

[ronnykmarshall]

31. But she's a ..... WOMAN!!

That makes her "shrill". Plus she's Hillary. So all attacks on her on valid. Didn't you know?

[MonkeyFunk]

47. well

we already have a thread on her hair and makeup, so I'm not surprised.

[Sal Minella]

36. Just ask Howard Dean......

"because when you're in a stadium full of raucous, loud, people, you tend to raise your voice. They're all doing it."

Howard Dean can tell you a lot about this.

[AlCzervik]

21. really? thank god she doesn't use Dodd's makeup person, looks like he/she

drew his angry eyebrows on again.

[Hardrada]

29. Her soul is showing.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. I think your slip is showing as well.

[Hardrada]

52. Thpffffffffft!

Best I can manage on a HOT MUGGY DAY where ALL of us LOOK HORRIBLE!

[ronnykmarshall]

33. I think I read she's suffering from allergies.

Could explain it.

Maybe in the swimsuit competition she'll do better. :eyes:


I'll make sure to line up some queens here in West Hollywood on thursday to work on that.

[terrya]

35. Not to mention that it's fucking humid out there.

Christ, I was sweating just walking home from the train station from work. Never mind that I wasn't in some damn outdoor stadium with lights and thousands of people.

[ronnykmarshall]

37. mmmmm!

Oh dear did I get all nasty?

[terrya]

41. Not at all!

I just think this whole subject of why Hillary didn't look like she just came from an Annie Lebowitz photo shoot while standing outside in hot, humid weather is more than a little silly.

[billyoc]

34. They finally match her platform.

:rofl:

[ElizabethDC]

40. I think it was because they were outside

humidity leads to flat hair, messy makeup, etc. Plus the lighting isn't as controllable.

Speaking of appearance, I didn't care for Edwards' tie (neither the print nor the size), and I didn't like the color of Keith's tie, but I really liked Kucinich's red tie.

[illinoisprogressive]

42. forgot her botox

[ronnykmarshall]

48. How PROGRESSIVE of you!

:eyes:

[Susang]

55. But Ronny, Hillary's a woman!

That makes Botox jokes funny! Cause women are only as important as their looks, get it? x(

[ronnykmarshall]

59. yeah them dames better look good, huh?

Crazy ain't it?

[MonkeyFunk]

56. Thanks for saving me the trip to freerepublic...

normally I have to go there to see this kind of sexist garbage.

[terrya]

57. That is grade-A stupid sexist garbage.

We SHOULD be better than this...

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

58. And you forgot your purple heart band-aid. -nt

[ronnykmarshall]

60. That's right ..

and the "who killed Vince Foster button".

[Mark Twain Girl]

65. Seriously, I'm holding out for the "hm, maybe she did kill Vince Foster after all!" posts

Maybe this strategy is working on other people, but it's backfiring for me. I used to get peeved when people would post the "Big Dawg" lovefest posts -- I was very, very ambivalent about Clinton and HRC when she did her Senate run. She's not my candidate, but more and more I feel like defending her against this kind of adolescent crap. Shrill? Shrieking? Botox? Hair and makeup? And there's over a year to go....

[ronnykmarshall]

66. Hang on tight ..

With a year to go, it's going to get even uglier.

[Nimrod2005]

43. Where is the nice tan?

[Clark2008]

44. Biden looks awful today!

What happened to HIS hair and makeup?

Edwards hair didn't own up to $400 worth, either.

And Obama, well, his suit was too big.




Now... don't we feel stupid talking about the woman in a trivial manner?

[polichick]

46. I used to live in Chicagoland...

...and looked awful on a hot, humid, sweaty, August day too ~ those poor folks in their stuffy jackets!

[Bravo Zulu]

51. Hill & bill have to look good

[Bryn]

53. Very Funny! LOL

hahaha a great toon

[sueh]

54. I was there. It was incredibly hot and humid outdoors.

I don't think she looked that bad.

[JDPriestly]

61. They all looked tired at the debate. The Yearly Kos folks wore them out.

The funny thing was that I thought the debate was all the better because the candidates were tired and less polished and less on their guard.

[beastieboy]

63. You guys are worse than the republicans.

[JDPriestly]

64. I have been wondering about Hillary's make up and hair.

So much was made over Edwards' $400 haircut, but living out her in L.A. and knowing what a good stylist can do and how much they cost, I wonder what Hillary spends on her make up hair and clothes. Must be a small fortune. She has really softened her look and that makes a huge difference. Frankly, I think the candidates should spend money on their looks. They have to compete with other TV personalities, and once you are over 40 . . . . Same for the men and the women.

[MODemocrat]

67. Do you ever say anything good about Hillary?

I have never read anything positive you've written about her. Those who hate Hillary have a good
sport going, called Bashing Hillary........Myself, I'd rather bash the Bush-Cheney Mafia.
:silly: :silly:
