MSNBC asks the tough questions.

MSNBC asks the tough questions.
Fresh off the “cleavage controversy” surrounding Sen. Hillary Clinton, MSNBC found a new angle this afternoon to discuss sexuality in the presidential campaign. The network ran a segment asking “How hot is too hot for a candidates spouse?” while discussing a recent pictorial of Rudy Giuliani and his wife, Judith, that appeared in Harper’s Bazaar:
As Media Matters has noted, MSNBC was one of the central culprits in the media’s rush to make an issue out of the non-issue regarding cleavage.

so wh is TP re-issuing a non-issue?
August 6th, 2007 at 4:24 pmOh yeah... that librul MSM is at it again.
j lash... I think this is about the credibility of the MSM at this point. Perhaps an attempt to shame them into being more adult in their coverage?
August 6th, 2007 at 4:27 pmHow hot is too hot for a candidate's spouse?
I'm conservative on this isue. I say anyone hotter than Pat Nixon is too hot.
August 6th, 2007 at 4:28 pmThe network ran a segment asking “How hot is too hot for a candidates spouse?â€
Do, for instance, voters want Mrs. Fred Thompson to install her stripper-pole in the West Wing?

Uh, she's not a candidate or a candidate's wife.
August 6th, 2007 at 4:31 pmI'm aware.. Doesn't detract from her 'hotness' though.
August 6th, 2007 at 4:33 pmthis is a stupid topic.

Eh, what's one more irrelevant comment on TP? Carry on.
August 6th, 2007 at 4:34 pmI'll be STUNNED if they include Fred Thompson's much younger wife in that discussion.
Or for that matter, Kucinich's. :)

Laughter is the only way to deal with this. Bush is a war criminal and the MSM couldn't give a sh*t!!!

August 6th, 2007 at 4:49 pmI can't believe that for the next fifteen months, I am going to be subjected to such serious issues as haircuts, cleavage, steamy wives, after-shave lotion, etc. etc. to help me decide the best person to be President.

Sample probing questions:
Would you pardon Lindsay Lohan and why or why not?
Who would you rather nominate for Secretary of State: Brangelina or Benifer?
August 6th, 2007 at 4:52 pmSure, a lot of the candidates spouses look hot, but only Hillary’s spouse has proven he can “walk the walk†so to speak.

You didn't think this was going to be about issues, did you? That's just so booooooooring. Much better to choose our president based on hair, boobs and insults.

August 6th, 2007 at 4:58 pmI've seen Guliani's wife. I assure you, she is not "too hot"
August 6th, 2007 at 4:59 pm---
as for Kucinich's wife, if he had her by his side every time he spoke, he would not be a second (or is it third) tier candidate.
http://www.rubyan.com/politics/2007/03/holy_crap_have_you_seen_kucini.html
I liked the idea, that the person who raises the most money becomes president. That way instead of spending all that money on commercials, and the public having to endure months of nasty attack ads. We inaugurate the winner, and the money raised could go to charity.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:00 pm------------
Feminists brainwash women to enter the workforce instead of having babies and this is precisely what you get. A pussified, feminized workforce.
And you wonder why men are opting out of the system and living like ghosts?

koolmoedee: "And you wonder why men are opting out of the system and living like ghosts?"
I don't wonder about that, troll. Conservative corporatists have ruined American manufacturing, off-shored white and grey-collar jobs, shifted tax burdens away from the wealthy and towards the working classes, allowed the infrastructure to decay, allowed public education to go to hell and royally screwed up our society in service of greater corporate profits. This gets people down. There's no real mystery to what has happened. What we need is a new New Deal.
And, we need to focus on real policy as opposed to bothering ourselves with non-issues like cleevage.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:13 pmBTW, those two women are pretty nice to me. Too skinny, but cute.

No, that's just you, babes. But in your case, it's ok.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:20 pmBTW, there is no picture on this planet involving Rudy G, which might considered the least bit steamy. Ugh.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:22 pmZooey, evidently, their "sexiest" guys are Rudy and Fred. That's all they've got, because the overwhelming majority of Americans don't agree with the policies these numbskulls push. Pathetic, isn't it?
August 6th, 2007 at 5:27 pmThe media is doing it's best to make something out of nothing and now their using the female employees. Every woman has breast and that wont change. Every anchor woman has breast so it's stupid to talk about Hillary. Now is Hillary qualified for the job yes. Are the other candidates (men) from both parties qualified no. If Americans continue to view the spin we'll end up with another idiot as President. So many countries have elected qualified women as President yet the United States with all intelligent Americans and with the poster sign of Equal Woman's Rights for the World to follow just seems to say one thing and do another.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:27 pmThis shows how Hillary does not care about morality. If she truly did, she would have covered herself up. It is despicable, and she will answer to God.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:30 pmCleavage is excellent and very pertinent to today\'s issues.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:31 pmJeezus I have to use a proxy server to get my crap to post. Been unable to post. Can\'t breathe, need cleavage.

Yes! And the point is that they will go to great lengths to avoid discussing or explaining real issues and policy. Trivia is their game. Real policy boring and dangerous to this pampered, powdered elite.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:33 pmPussified and full of cleavage. I\'ll take two.

Hey Darryl,
Lemme remind you of something. Eve was naked in the Garden. She covered herself because she felt ashamed....not because God told her to.
August 6th, 2007 at 5:38 pmSomehow I doubt God cared what she wore, if anything, and I doubt He cares if Hillary shows a little cleavage, or a little leg for that matter.
Daryll likes big, oily, slippery boobies he can play with.

August 6th, 2007 at 5:56 pmwhen did MSNBC become the "Cosmo" of 24 hour news networks? Of course, this shift isn't isolated to MSNBC, even CNN is getting in on the action, becoming less news oriented and more sensationalistic over the past 2-4 years. I guess when you have 24 hours to fill, you become desperate.

August 6th, 2007 at 5:57 pmI\'m ready for nipples now. Cleavage was nice, but, its now time to step it up MSNBC, talk about erect nipples dammit.
Who was chilly at the last TV appearance? They poke right through, I mean how am I not supposed to notice it when those bullets are pointed right at ya?
August 6th, 2007 at 5:58 pmI do not want American voters to choose a candidate for cleavage, nor for smelling nice, nor for having a wide back like Romney that a GOPer wanted to land a commercial jet upon. Choose a candidate for their wisdom, and intelligence, but not for their looks.

Libs, ridicule me all you want. Zooey, God is watching you. Have you ever heard of lusting after the flesh. Lust is sinful. This why the bible says that women must cover themselves (to prevent the lustful eye). Also, lust shouldn't relate to Hillary Clinton's cleavage because she's old and has no figure. Now Laura Bush is a different story. Libs, I only share my body with one person and that is my wife, Tiff. Also, if you are fornicating, hell is real! Those that have made comments about Pastor Jennings, he's trying to guide us into hell. He's not like various ministers who sugar coat issues to keep people in the seats ($$$$).

There's no way to sugar-coat it - this guy is one sick, mixed-up puppy. In the same paragraph he chastises people for "lust," and then expresses "lust" for Laura Bush. I guess that's what fundamentalist christianity does to the mind - scrambles it.

August 6th, 2007 at 7:18 pmYeah, Daryll seems pretty well scrambled
The only real-world explanation I can come up with for why fundamentalists are just so damn crazy is that the cognitive dissonance they must deal with every day must drive them crazy. That's fine, but let's at least stop voting for them for public office if that would be all right.

I have a "gut" feeling you are like the other perverted neocons who wait patiently for the daily money shot from one of the floozy blondes.

But for the rest of you, a little bit of Biblical ammunition:
August 6th, 2007 at 9:27 pmWhen Adam & Eve ate the fruit (and it's important that God gave Adam the not-THAT-fruit! instruction before Eve was even created), what ticked God off? That they had clothed themselves. According to the Bible and not the millennia of twisted celibate distorters the sin of Adam and Eve was disobedience (and disobedience over knowledge at that), but what goes with that is not sex--but sexual SHAME.
If sex had been the sin, when God came looking for them he'd have found them doin' the nasty. But they were wrapped up in leaves and hiding.

OOhh.. Golly! That'll show 'em!
Gee, those darn Christians with their values and ethics, well... well... who needs 'em anyway?!
August 6th, 2007 at 9:42 pmI think Daryll is a fictional character invented to make us believe that Evangelicals are prevalent, fanatical and too stupid for amendment. Rove wants us to believe that they vote in astronomical numbers, believe everything he says without question, and won't listen to reason. This way, no one even tries to challenge his "base" and no one spends enough time with them to disbelieve their singlemindedness. Meanwhile, he stuffs rural ballot boxes with enough votes to win, just barely. Amazing how there are never reports of huge lines of them at the polls, though, eh?
Sorry Daryll, you don't exist. Next!
August 6th, 2007 at 9:46 pmWhy not call out the producers of such shows with such terrible topics. The achor's only doing what the producer wants. What is the motive behind a producer that puts this kind of stuff on TV? What kind of losers are these producers?

August 6th, 2007 at 11:39 pmThis is the same media that was oogling over Obama's bare chest.
No shocker here. Move along.
