Michele Bachmann: Clinton Wears ‘Mao Suits’ Because She’s An ‘Economic Marxist’

Source: Rightwing Watch, PFAW


Former congresswoman and Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann very nearly had a moment of feminist solidarity with Hillary Clinton yesterday when she called out the double standard that women politicians face when it comes to their appearance. Almost.

“For a man, it’s like a three-minute shower and you put on your suit and tie and away you go,” Bachmann told radio host Rusty Humphries yesterday. “For women, literally, to do hair and makeup is an hour.” Bachmann said that when she was running for president, she “would get criticized more than anything” for her appearance, recalling one time when she was barraged with criticism for the length of her nails at a presidential debate.

(…)

“I’m just saying, well, her, she looks like a Mao Zedong in every one of her outfits, those are terrible,” Humphries responded.

“Yeah, but that’s by design,” Bachmann said. “I mean, who is she? I mean, she is an economic Marxist so she feels very much at home in those Mao suits.”

She is one wacko fruit loop. Why anyone even gives a rat's behind what she thinks about ANYTHING is beyond me. How she ever got into Congress is a shame to all her constituents who sent her bat-shit crazy ass there in the first place. What a disgraceful wench.
She's "a witch". Pure and simple. (sarcasm)

Sounds like an attempt at wit from an empty hairdo.

And of course, she uses the "just saying" line... popular and trendy among buffoonish half-wits who utter stupid statements but lack the courage to be called on it.

It looks nothing like any of Hillary's outfits.

This is a Nehru jacket (worn by Nehru):



It is much more similar to some of Hillary's jackets,like the one she wore at the last debate.



Nehru, unlike Mao, was not a Communist; he is considered to be the founder of the modern Indian nation, which is secular and democratic. Sorry Michele. Wrong jacket, wrong guy.

Hillary's debate outfits were by Ralph Laurin. Red, blue, and white, in that order.

Mao suits, if anyone remembers back that far (they've been off the market for about 30 years), had a very specific tight pointed collar and two breast pockets, two lower pockets, and a jacket hem no lower than the hips. Nothing like the Ralph Laurin pantsuits worn by Hillary.
