This is the type of journalism I despise

ABC reports on a spread by Glamour, thereby excusing themselves from 1) Any real journalistic standards and 2) propagating the type of underhanded sexism that permeated the Democratic primary run of HRC.

A Look Back at Hillary's Year in Pantsuits

WTF? Would any man ever be subjected to such a scrutiny? Of course not. And at the end of the article, ABC again excuses itself by categorizing the Glamour spread's message as "... but the spread is a tribute to the woman who won 18 million votes in the Democratic presidential primary. The real message is, "You go, girl. You made all of us proud." "

Bullshit. This is a way for ABC to do its own sexist coverage of Hillary but claim it's only covering Glamour, not HRC herself.

This isn't journalism.

oh oh ! But the VP candidate on the GOP likes to wear Ferragamo boots! (this was touted in People mag, I believe, or at least on their site).

really.

Because that's what modern liberated women want, is to agree with the fashion choices of other modern liberated women.

I'd pay money to see a female politico in a hello kitty shirt, even on her "off" time :)

Palin's taste in shoes is the only thing that appeals to me about her.
