So, I’ve been going round and round with Dadman on whether the hyper-exaggeration of Hillary’s posterior and thighs is a fair characterization of her in a caricature. I have said that from any realistic analysis Hillary is quite slim for a 60 year old woman. Dadman asserts that her butt and thighs are big enough to be fair game for the caricaturist.
Here are some recent photos of Hillary, do you think she’s got a butt and thighs big enough to be fairly singled out for ridicule in her caricatures?
This one I think is particularly good since the woman next to her is probably about her age, and yet appears to me to be significantly larger in hip and thigh.
This one might support Dadman a little better, in those slacks her butt does look big, but bigger than other women her age? I still don’t think so.
And finally in her classic Salmon Pantsuit (TM). She must be on the way to something serious, she always wears salmon when she wants to deflect criticism.
Judge for yourself. The girth of our President’s posterior and thighs is of critical national security importance.

There is nothing wrong with the Ramirez cartoon.
Caricature is not ridicule necessarily. You try to frame the argument that way and I have to challenge that.
This is nuts. There is absolutely nothing malicious, mean, nasty, sophomoric, etc. about the Ramirez cartoon.
Give it a rest.
CC: I don’t know…depending on the picture you are looking at, either her cheekbones, or hips and butt are wider.
Either way, I think it is a true national security issue.
President Hillary should wear a burka at her Inauguration. That will appease the Islamic world, and help the rest of us hold down our lunch.
I actually do have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton. I think she is a smart woman with an analytical mind. I think she’s smarter than Bill, and I think Bill’s smarter than your average politician. A lot smarter.
I don’t much “like” her though. She rubs me the wrong way in several ways. But I am not one of those conservatives who considers her to be one of the four horsemen (horsewomen?) of the apocalypse. She is what she is, a very determined, driven woman with a decidely Leftist ideology. Now I think she’s pretty far to the right of Hugo Chavez, so I don’t think electing her is essentially throwing the country into a socialist gulag. But she would certainly take this country farther left than I would like it to go.
I do have to say that of the current Democrat candidates, she has been the only one to stake out a position on the Iraq War and terrorism that has at times seemed somewhat rational. If any Democrat gets elected in ’08, Hillary may well be the best choice of the ones we have.
It won’t ruin my life (I hope). I give liberals a lot of grief for Bush Derangement Syndrome. I’m not going to fall prey to Hillary Derangement Syndrome myself.
I would be proud of her if she were my aunt, my mother or my daughter. She has done well and in doing well, she has done some good and some bad. Am I qualified to say on balance whether the good outweighs the bad or vice versa? I don’t think so. But I don’t agree with her ideology so I will almost certainly vote for the Republican candidate that goes against her. But that doesn’t mean I think she is a salmon pant-suit wearing version of Che Guevera. She’s a classic East Coast elitist liberal. We’ve suffered through them before. My hope is that she’s smart enough once in office to realize that she has a higher responsibility than to her party. And I am optimistic, I think she will.
Cosmic: We have survived terrible Executives before, and I share your optimism that we will survive Hillary (should our nation be so stupid as to elect her). I thought my life would be ruined when Jimmy Carter was elected, and then Billy Jeff…how wrong I was. There are plenty of day to day things that the President can not influence in my life (friends, family, children, etc).
I don’t hate the gal. I really feel sorry for her in many ways. My “burka” comment is genuine, because every time I see her my stomach just turns.
Back to feeling sorry for Hillary…it is really sad to see another human that is so consumed with any “lust.” Her lust is for power/control. That is really sad, and fueled by some deep flaws that were not dealt with (or may have been encouraged in her younger days). That is sad.
BTW: She needs to drop the Salmon Pantsuit, and the jerk walking with her in that photo. It makes her butt look bit, and her brain look small.
Andy:
I don’t disagree with your analysis, but in general I think that anyone who aspires to be President is more or less by definition power hungry. Why else do it? Now it is possible to rationalize that power-hunger by saying that you are doing what’s best for the country. Conservatives in general believe that Bush and Reagan sought power only do pursue the right path, not for personal glory. Bill and Hillary, on the other hand, are generally thought to be after personal glory first, and pursing the “left” path second.
The exact reverse is what is believed on the Left side of the spectrum.
As much of a staunch conservative as I am, I can still acknowledge the (slim) possibility that my ideology is less than perfect, and I may not be judging the ideology of the other side fairly. So I try hard to fight the good fight for the side I believe in, but not to demonize the other team. I used to defend Bill Clinton when right-wing zealots were accusing him of deliberately attempting to silence Christians, and accused him of sending “black helicopters” to do his bidding while covering the sky with chemicals to make the population more willing to do his bidding.
Bill Clinton was a disaster as President, but we survived. Jimmy Carter was much, much worse. In fact much of what we deal with from Islamofascists today can be quite fairly placed right back in JC’s lap for how he handled the initial rise of that threat. But we survived even Jimmy Carter.
We’ll survive Hillary. And if things go the way I suspect they will, in 2012 we’ll elect another two-term Republican. I think that will probably be Jeb Bush. And I like Jeb Bush.
Cosmic: Okay…I may not have expressed my sympathy for Hillary well enough. I feel very sad for those that seek “power for the sake of power.” As a right-winger, I love to imagine that Reagan and Bush sought the Office for love of country, etc. I could be wrong, but I really don’t remember a conniving “climb” with Reagan, or Bush.
History gives us Churchill, Washington, and even FDR. I believe that these guys had world events thrust upon them…causing them to just step up to the plate and swing, with no personal motivation involved.
Who said this?: I ran for President because I wanted to “do something.” Bill Clinton ran for President because he wanted to “be something.”
Hillary does seem to look a little thick in the thighs and somewhat petite in the breast area. Definitely a no-no when in public. She should have
gotten a breast implant or enlargement job and slimmed down in the hip area before going on the public tour. Now she just looks old and overweight. I would not want to have a person looking like this as
leader representing our United States. Image is everything. Same goes for McCain. I would not vote for him because he looks over the hill and has a short temper and bad judgement. He will start WW3.
Someone like Mitt Romney who is cunning, crafty,
courageous, and has the looks of James Bond 007 is
who you want up and out front.
Hillary does have a big butt and big thighs,but they’re nice ones.
[...] fact overweight is not the point here. I can remember when Laura Bush and Lynn Cheney — and Hillary Clinton — were accused of being overweight too. Obviously, that was not racism. In fact, Hillary [...]
Hillari Clinton is amazingly sexy!!!
She is a real lady – very classy and beatiful.
