The great cleavage debate

Remember when Hillary Clinton wore that V-neck? And German Chancellor Angela Merkel wore that low cut dress to the opera? And everybody was up in arms about politicians and plunging necklines? What do you think? Is political cleavage a Do or a Don't? Take the poll here and let us know!

    Hey, guess what: Hillary Clinton is a WOMAN, and women have BREASTS. She also has a uterus, and I'll bet she's had her period before.

    We should love and admire the differences between men and women, not force them to look and act like one another.

    I think men can't stand that women have so much power in their bodies, just because they are so "visual".

    Is it so difficult to focus on what a woman is trying to convey, instead of looking at her cleavage?

    Brainy and beautiful-doesnt look too shabby to me.

    Hillary showing off alittle is par for the course anyway.

    Its THAT Katie Couric who needs to tone it down-sheesh!

    Nothing about Hillary is enticing enough to warrant a plunging v-neck sweater...and with those legs she resembles a pear balanced upon two popsicle sticks...

    Seriously, if your co-worker wore that shell to the office no one would say a word. Why are politicians / movie stars held to a double standard; are they not human too???

    And when did being FEMANINE become a crime??

    I really don't understand what is particularly shocking about Hillary Clinton's sweater. It's not even that low cut. I really don't understand why it's a big deal if Hillary Clinton actually looks more feminine for a change.

    As for cleavage being appropriate for work, well that depends on how it's shown and how much, and what type of job a woman has. Personally, I don't think a little is a big deal. As long as the woman doesn't look like a stripper or a waitress at Hooters, it's not a big deal.

    First let me say that I definitely think brainy & beautiful SHOULD be the standard (not scrawny and addicted), and I don't think there's anything unprofessional about that particular shirt.

    However, if there are any men out there that actually find Hillary Clinton in the least way sexually attractive (or feminine, for that matter), they are freaks who should be taken out behind the woodshed and shot -- figuratively speaking. But at least not allowed to vote.

    I have not and will not vote for Hillary Clinton because I do not find her a representative as what is beautiful and feminine and powerful in WOMAN. She disgusts me. She is exactly what women should NOT be. Power-hungry BIOTCH who, in my mind 'stood by her man' only for a shot at the White House, nothing more. She is manipulative (that little 'tear' -- please), elitist (I know someone who has met the Clintons numerous times and I have heard his stories), and don't really give a damn about anybody but themselves.

    I mean if she was letting it all hang out it would be one thing, but a tasteful/conservative vneck with a hint of clevage, along with a blazer, come on! Its all about taste. You can't blame the woman for not wanting to wear turtle necks everyday. i think she looked fine. It wasn't super tight, not a lot of clevage and her skirt wasn't short. I can't believe that outfit would offend anyone in their right mind.
