To be fair, East Wing Rules did update with the picture of Sec'y of State Hillary Clinton (who at the time was First Lady to Pres. Bill Clinton) with the traditional black veil.

I agree. Womens' bodies are always held to a higher standard.

If it was me, I'd go w/o the hose as my way to strike back after having to wear a mini-burqua to meet the man. I apologize to the Catholic posters, but the man is not Jesus. I respect the position, but why do women have to wear that get-up in his presence?

Now I supported Obama all the way in the primaries, but think if Hillary became president. I'd be completely PISSED if she had to wear that. (I don't know what the protocol is for her as Secy of State, but I'd imagine she'd still have to wear it, and that's ridiculous.)

There is *no* reason to insist upon it other than the fact that church higher-ups believe that women are inherently less-than.

It's what we want to do for veterans/active duty servicemembers and military families in Virginia.

This is one time where that talking point doesn't apply

The symbolism and historical import is just beyond words.

WE who came from the continent now send back one of our own as the most POWERFUL leader in the world to represent us amongst KINGS that we descended from.

O the richness of it all is just overwhelming!!

Um then why a statement? Other than the repuplican talking points that we support the troops.

That's my recommendation. She does me no favors…and won't help me get past 16%.
