Even Hillary's eye colour is fake: she wears blue contact lenses.

Why women shouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/19/wuspols219.xml

Whatever her official feminist credo, Hillary's public career has glaringly been a subset to her husband's success. Despite her reputation for brilliance, she failed the Washington, DC bar exam. Thus her migration to Little Rock was not simply a selfless drama for love; she was fleeing the capital where she had hoped to make her mark.

In Little Rock, every role that Hillary played was obtained via her husband's influence - from her position at the Rose Law Firm to her seat on the board of Wal-Mart to her advocacy for public education reform. In a pattern that would continue after Bill became president, Hillary would draw attention by expressing public "concern" for a problem, without ever being able to organise a programme for reform.

1. I don't care if she wears purple contact lenses, what truly matters is between her ears. n/t

[boppers]

6. As the article points out...

What's "between her ears" is fake too.

[bowens43]

19. yep...acres of empty space.

[Oleladylib]

2. and BO wears purple lipstick...

[cyndensco]

15. if that was supposed to be funny, it wasn't

Sounds like you might not have taken the time to look at people with melanin. Many of us have lips that are not "pink" like yours might be. It's not lipstick - just him....

[merh]

24. welcome to DU

please forgive the ignorant - the primaries bring out the worst in folks and a lot of latent feelings they didn't realize they had.

I hope you won't judge the whole of DU by the petty words of a few.

[cyndensco]

27. thanks

I've been here lurking since Hussein was executed. Yahoo directed me here cause someone was as outraged as I was that night.

I really enjoy DU these days. At times my blood DOES boil, but it is
fun(?) seeing how truly ignorant some folks are. Reminds me often of the republican calls on c-span...

[merh]

30. LOL - it definitely isn't the echo chambers some places accuse it of

being - it reminds me of the mixed sites with both righties and lefties posting, have you ever posted at one of those, they are a hoot.

talk about opening one's eyes to the ignorant, if you have weak eye muscles those places are where you need to go.

:rofl:

[Shae]

52. and Hillary's lips are brown --

too much Republican butt-kissing.

[gateley]

3. I haven't read the link, but I take exception with the second paragraph

in the excerpt.

Hillary is a VERY intelligent, sharp, savvy woman, and I have no doubt she would have done extremely well w/o her husband's influence.

[grassfed]

4. we'll never know will we?

[gateley]

5. Well, you do have a point.

:7

[sammythecat]

45. Then why make the insinuation?

What if John McCain wasn't the son of an admiral?

What if Barack Obama was white?

Why is Hillary a senator and Laura isn't?

What if my mother was a lesbian? There's no end to this kind of speculation. It's deceptive and unproductive.

[tabasco]

46. She'd still be working for Walmart

but making pretty good dough.

7. "an astonishing 38 of our 43 presidents had blue eyes"

All of our presidents who have been considered great, or near great by historians, had blue eyes. Anyone want to try an explanation?

...

Does this mean anything? Do we find those with light eyes more commanding, more impressive, more attractive, more appealing? Would this reaction matter in by-gone eras when only a handful of citizens saw the presidents in person, and crude black-and-white images could hardly communicate eye color?

Nevertheless, this overwhelming pattern does suggest that when we give candidates the eye, we should look into their eyes.

And there’s no getting around one uncomfortable fact: Hillary Clinton most certainly does have blue-grey eyes.

I guess even her eye color has been poll tested and approved.

[GoesTo11]

8. This is actually the kind of non-story that could kill her campaign

People really care about this kind of stuff. And it kind of resonates as the symbol of other more substantial problems with her positioning.

[ecstatic]

12. Blue-Eye-gate... developing... nt

[Auntie Bush]

22. Aren't you the ones complaining about the context , or lack of, during

the debate? This post takes the cake! Keep it up! Ain't so proud of ya.

[JackORoses]

54. make that Blue-eyedDevil-gate and you got yourself a story!

[ecstatic]

55. love the sig pic! lmao! nt

[peoli]

9. her real eye color is red

[DemGa]

10. Hillary-hate has jumped the shark

And furthermore, Obama got all the mileage he could from it -- backlash in PA.

[bowens43]

20. ROFLMAO! right.....

Hillary has earned the animosity that you see.

[Cheap_Trick]

36. yeah, THAT'S why H(R)C went from a 20 point lead in PA

to virtually nil. Nice try, but no cigar.

[MichiganVote]

11. Are you frickin' me? How old are you? 10? Who cares!

[grassfed]

13. see #8

[MichiganVote]

16. You and poster # 8-if you really believe that eye contacts will sink a candidates campaign

you truly are demented. If we are that far gone, no candidate will make a difference.

[grassfed]

18. It's the rest of the article

[MichiganVote]

21. Its all bad anyway. The illogical thinking is astounding.

I expect more critical thinking from those I bother to read and so should you.

[bowens43]

23. by itself , its nothing.

But it it's part of a pattern of lies. There is no issue so unimportant or so important that she won't lie about it. Do you ever wonder why nearly 70 of voters say that she can't be trusted? It's because she can't be trusted, not even with something as meaningless as her eye color.

[MichiganVote]

56. Well here's a piece of reality; everybody lies, you lie, I lie, we all lie.

[sammythecat]

14. I've know for quite some time now

that John McCain doesn't have as much hair as he'd like us to believe. Notice how some of it is intentionally left long to comb over a bald area. Talk about deceptive!

Barack Obama thought we wouldn't notice his lack of a flag pin expressing his love for America. Thankfully that despicable fact has been brought out into the light of day last week. I say "thankfully" with some regret though. He seemed like a pretty good guy until the truth was shown. If only... He coulda been a contenda.

Now Hillary wears colored contacts. Dear God. Is there no one to lead us out of this?

[Coexist]

40. whatever you do....

DON'T MENTION John McCain's thinning hair to him...

He'll call you a c**t.

[sammythecat]

44. Oh! If only I had the opportunity and a recorder.

Now that would be a little tidbit of personal info that really would be a relevant truth.

[Bluebear]

17. HAhahahaeahaHAHAHAhaahae hhAHAHAha

Oh, you were serious?

[cbayer]

25. Camille Paglia, hehehehehe

And for those of you that love Molly Ivins, you might want to read this scathing review of Ms. Paglia written by Ms. Ivins.

http://www.its.caltech.edu/~erich/misc/ivins_on_paglia

[nichomachus]

26. And all this time I thought she looked

at the world through Rose (Law Firm) colored glasses.

[JohnnyLib2]

28. Well.

Well, I'm speechless.

[dailykoff]

29. pic:

[bettyellen]

31. i thought it was parody and then i saw the byline ...Camille Paglia, LOL...

oh jeeze, people still read her?

[undeterred]

32. ...

:crazy:

[Hieronymus]

33. A hell of a convincing argument by Paglia.

[Riga Marole]

41. Has everyone forgotten what

she is hiding under those pantsuits?

[tandot]

50. A vagina? n/t

[Muttocracy]

34. that doesn't make any sense unless her natural eye color is other than blue

I have pale blue eyes. My contact lenses, like most, have a slight blue tint to them so that they are easier to find in cleaning solution, when dropped, what have you. These change my eyes to a different shade of blue. Am I a fraud? :shrug:

The article says nothing about her having green, hazel, or brown eyes?

[Lone_Star_Dem]

35. I noticed she had brown eyes in a young pic I have of her and Bill

I don't see how that's an issue though. By the very act of mentioning something so trivial and irrelevant it makes the the writer appear to be obsessed. :shrug:

[HereSince1628]

37. Well, blue contacts....that's something

I suppose that's better than republican red contacts...

But I have no way of connecting any of it to meaningfulness. WTF??????

[Orangepeel]

38. I guess it's as good a reason for a vote as the flag pin

which is to say, not.

[depakid]

39. Not just Paglia- but the in the Telegraph!

A 2 fer....

:rofl:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

42. god almighty you are pathetic

[gal]

43. Hmmm sounds like a new debate question.

Do you think they'll ask her?

[eridani]

47. Who gives a flying fuck?

Haven't we all just castigated ABC for focusing on trivial bullshit?

[Frank Booth]

48. This is very weird. I've never heard of a person suddenly deciding to change their eye color

and then sticking with the new color for years, as she apparently has done.

What a strange person she is.

[Bluebear]

53. Oh, you should get out more, then :)

People probably do it all the time without your realizing it.

[ecstatic]

49. kick

}(

[cornermouse]

51. Newsflash. Woman puts in colored contacts to change her eye color!!!!

Duh.

[TK421]

57. That does it....she certainly does NOT get my vote !

Really, don't you think this is kind of dumb?

[Orsino]

58. Oh. Paglia. No wonder.

:eyes:

Contactgate.
