Hillary Clinton Goes Glam(our)

2008_11_hillarm.jpgLast night, Senator Hillary Clinton was feted at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, and joked to the crowd, "I’m grateful to Glamour because they liked my pantsuits, and that was one of the highlights of my presidential campaign." Also honored were actress Nicole Kidman, primatologist Jane Goodall, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Apparently Rice was looking forward to meeting Tyra Banks, a fellow honoree, and told the Daily News, "I want to go back to California, and I want to write a book on foreign policy and a book about my parents. I want to see what I can do to reach out to young people to get them involved and interested in the world and languages. We're a bit insular here in America." Here are some video highlights.

"We're a bit insular here in America." --Rice

Too bad Rice failed at getting her boss "involved and interested in the world" (unless you consider pushing international commercial deregulation and starting wars as being "involved and interested").

Hillary Clinton is the ugliest woman in the world.

That's setting the bar pretty high, but definitely in the top 25th%-ile for ugly, or top 5%tile if you throw in her character.

We need to know more about women have done so we realize what women CAN do.

Now that the 2008 election and its historic high turnout is history, there is much greater appreciation for the privilege of voting.

But most people don't realize that out of 44 American presidents, only the last 15 were elected in a truly democratic fashion by all of our citizens -- men AND women.

Until 1920 women were denied the vote, and few people have any idea of the struggle our suffragettes had to go through to right this wrong. It's an amazing, awe-inspiring story!

The comments on this post about Hillary Clinton being "ugly" are shameful.
Hillary Clinton is an inspiration to smart women everywhere. I admire her and think she would have made a fantastic president.
