Most of you must have read the Washington Post
column criticizing Hillary Clinton's blazer she wore a few days ago, which revealed a tiny beat of imperceptible cleavage.
I wonder where the Washington Post Style columnist Robin Givhan was in 2004, when Bush's camp admitted that he wore a "poorly tailored shirt" to one of the 2004 debates against John Kerry. The "wrinkled jacket" was a much more interesting story than the almost unperceivable Clinton's cleavage, because it generated controversy as to whether or not Bush was wearing a deviced that allowed him to receive cues from an advisor.
I would have expected Robin Givhan (in charge of the WAPO Style section) to salivate at the thought of writing about the NASA photo analyst's conclusion that this bulge in Bush's jacket was "consistent with a wire or tube." The story was only picked up by non-stream media, particularly Salon.com. See
article.
A piece of clothing can't get more readable than that.
Some of you might say, "Maybe Givhan did not work for the WP back in 2004".
Her
biography suggests she worked for the WP that year:
Givhan came to The Washington Post in 1995 to cover the fashion industry. She left The Post in March of 2000, spending six months at Vogue magazine as associate editor, returning to The Post in September of the same year.The media is afraid of being called "liberal" by the Republican noise machine. This is why so much trivial criticism is directed against Democrats, while so little against Republicans.
