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.

Whatever the old hag is striving to project, it ain´t working. Silly cow looks like a welfare woman on crack. Anyone get get a haircut and shampoo in an hour or maybe two.

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. Her short-to-midlength page boy was also pretty good, I think.

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.

Boehner: House won´t just ´take up
and accept´ Senate immigration bill
The Hill [DC], by Russell Berman & Mike Lillis    Original Article
Posted By: StormCnter- 5/23/2013 3:26:29 PM     Post Reply
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday said the House won't pick up the Senate immigration bill and pass it. "The House remains committed to fixing our broken immigration system, but we will not simply take up and accept the bill that is emerging in the Senate if it passes," said the statement from Boehner, his top three lieutenants and Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which has jurisdiction on immigration.

President Obama offers only weasel words to explain deaths in Libya and IRS abuses. He’s the master of verbal evasion. House Republicans need to replace debate with action to hold the president accountable on these issues. To get to the bottom of why four Americans died in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, House Republicans should issue a formal resolution demanding to know where the president was on the night September 11 and what role he played. Obama needs to be put on the hot seat. Benghazi- For eight months, the White House has maneuvered

Much has been written and said about the astoundingly tone deaf performance of White House spokesman Jay Carney during this past month of scandals. The former journalist has lost the confidence of the people who were once his colleagues due to his unwillingness to tell the truth about his own deceptive statements (never mind those he represents in front of the press) about the Benghazi talking points or even to acknowledge that he has changed his story. The same applies to the shifting story he has told about the Internal Revenue Service scandal

A nonprofit connected to Rep. Corrine Brown (D., Fla.) and run by a local political power player overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million, the Florida Times-Union reported. According to an audit by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, the Community Rehabilitation Center in Jacksonville overbilled Medicaid by nearly $1.4 million.

Former Cambridge neighbors of a Russian mixed martial arts brawler shot dead by an FBI agent early yesterday in Florida — after ?being questioned about his ties to the marathon bombing and a Waltham triple murder — said he was nasty.

It’s a little more peaceful since they left,” a neighbor told the Herald yesterday of the Russian buddies.

The 2012 election season was filled with angry cries of “voter suppression,” almost all of them regarding attempts by states to require voter ID and otherwise improve ballot integrity. Bill Clinton warned that “there has never been — in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the other Jim Crow burdens on voting — the determined effort to limit the franchise that we see today.” Democratic-party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said “photo-ID laws, we think, are very similar to a poll tax.” All of this proved to be twaddle.

The Justice Department’s secret seizure of phone records from The Associated Press and its monitoring of Fox News reporter James Rosen are nothing less than thuggish attempts to criminalize the practice of journalism — the only profession specifically protected by the US Constitution. Free and open inquiry is also the cornerstone of our democracy, a legacy of the Enlightenment that found its clearest expression in the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.” By which the Founders specifically meant political speech. They understood that, even with the checks and balances

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.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
