We were appalled by the to-do made about Hillary's really perfectly demure blouse. What would the big deal have been if her shirt had been down to her navel? It's not like you can't run a country and be busty. So demonstrates the German Chancellor Angela Merkel, arguably the most powerful woman in the world and certainly the foxiest member of the G8.
Broadsheet picked up this photo from Der Spiegel of the world leader. At the opera with the king and queen of Norway, Merkel rocked a seriously low-cut gown.
The designer of the dress described Merkel's style to Die Welt as "power suit by day, princess by night."
It's a motto we encourage all the American candidates to adopt. Because when you're answering the phone at 3 a.m., you're liable to be in a much better mood if you're wearing sequins.

1. What matters is that if Hillary wants to lead this country she has to adhere to the ideals of it's citizens. She must be a role model. If her dress had been down to her navel, it would have been rathar insulting to the professionalism of the event, and showed her to be vain and shallow. Most Americans, like it or not, perfer modesty. At least, most VOTING Americans do.
Europe has different values Ada. They have different ideas of what is acceptable and not acceptable. They have topless beaches. That isn't an accurate comparison. Might as well talk about the French woman posing nude.

2. Ada here's some more very good looking heads of state:
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner - Argentina
Mary McAleese - Ireland
Dalia Itzik - Isreal
Some former heads:
Kim Campbell - Canada, funny and cute
Mary Robinson - Ireland
Many many more, all very interesting.
Thanks for the thought, I would like to see female politicians let their hair down more.

4. Ada,
Look to the Dec 2007 cover of Harper's Bazaar. Hillary shows a little cleavage there- more than enough.

6. Is she married? If not, I'm available... and she had better have a good VP because we may not come out of our room for the entire honeymoon!!!! ;o)

7. Again, what can I say besides, "Man!! What knockers"!!!
Seriously though, the Germans are very loose about nudity. From what I've heard, women will take lunch breaks and go sunbathe topless in the town square. So, I guess by displaying her mameries, she's only representing her people.

8. P.S. I want to apologize to Angela for kidding. Acutally, I think she's a very cute lady, regardless of the depth of her neckline, and I'll bet she's very nice too! :o) I'm sure she wouldn't be interested in a common scholar like me though.

9. ... but I wonder if she likes having them foldled and kissed... when she has a legitimate lover I mean! ;o)

10. Typo... sorry! I meant "fondled" rather than "foldled"

11. Global warming catastrophism is a dangerous hoax which will greatly increase the price of energy.
