Is she saying that if you can't get your point across, try flaunting your cleavage for the other side to take notice? Robin Gavhin wouldn't have reported it if Hillary hadn't thrust her cleav in front of the senators. When is it okay for reporters to report on a $400 haircut by one presidential candidate, but not okay to report on Janet jackson tactics by another? And, now Katie, I remember you showing your chicken legs to the audience by cutting a whole on the desk when you substituted for Jay Leno. It took me a long time to get that ugly image out of my system. Now if Hillary is showing cleavage while running for president, think about what she will show if she actually became the president. Does Bill's unbuttoning of his pants for Monica ring any bell? The HillBilly duo are starved for sexual attention.; Reply to this comment

Since we all know KC shines her brightest in pearls and the LBD and we also know that Clinton is going to impress no one with her wardrobe why don't we just listen to what KC has to say, ignore Clinton, and the world will be a better place.; Reply to this comment

It was on full display the day after the attack at Glasgow Airport in Scotland and the discovery of car bombs in London the previous week. No offense to Sen. Clinton, but I thought her cleavage was nothing compared to Ms. Smith's.; Reply to this comment

by jordaninski August 2, 2007 1:46 PM EDT: "Okay, some things are fair game: *** Cheney was slammed for wearing a parka when he visited a concentration camp".

Katie, why did *** Cheney deserve to be "slammed"? He has a history of heart problems and he was expected to sit for hours in freezing temperatures. If that had been your buddy Bill Clinton or Al Gore, would you have been more sympathetic to their health problems? Just wondering.; Reply to this comment
