July 26, 2006Hillary’s Bust? Egad! - UPDATED::: SCROLL DOWN FOR BUMPERSTICKER UPDATE::: Yes, I know I have defended Hillary’s right to have cleavage, and I have gently suggested that overspending on hair and makeup is unwise…that there is a middle ground between Mr. Cheap Cuts and a $3,000 trim… But now…there is this bust. This “presidential” bust for the “President Hillary” we are told is a foregone conclusion in 2008. It’s…well, it’s pretty hideous. For some reason, Hillary - who is an attractive woman - here looks like the love child of Jimmy Carter and Eleanor Roosevelt, but wearing the breastplate usually associated with Brunnhilda in Die Walkure! This artist has done her no favor. I don’t think it is an accident that Yahoo did not include the photo (presumably provided in the press release) in its coverage. The boobs are the nicest part. Maybe the girls just look too young and perky, but it’s not really about the boobs…it’s about the weirdly elongated sternocledomastoid muscles and the…well, the unflattering everything else. If I were Hillary, I would be working very hard, and very fast to get rid of this image and to do all I could do to keep people from saying, “Oh, Hillary is just Jimmy Carter with boobs…” Nothing could sink her ambitions faster. And since the picture is out there…it may already be too late. For the next two years, you’ll see that picture and “Jimmy Carter with Boobs” everywhere. Associations are important. A thought is a thing. What have I always told you…nothing is static, everything is always in flux. Assume nothing, because there are no foregone conclusions. And never, ever forget, that sometimes it’s the strangest, most unpredictable things, which have the most lasting and intense impact. Anytime a woman is sculpted to look like Jimmy Carter, that is not a happy day in that lady’s life. Blue Crab Boulevard has more, and Kittylitter, who is also seeing Jimmy Carter in that thing, has a side-by-side comparison.

Hillary is NOT Jimmy Carter with boobs? I’m confused. Besides, “Boob” and Carter go hand-in-hand. Let’s ask
SC&A how they score/interpret that word association.

Jimmy Carter with boobs! Heheheee! And the hair, too, is a winner!
Gad! What was the sculptor thinking? This is as bad as that official portrait of Queen Elizabeth a little while back. Horrible!

The head looks to me like a combination of Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Barney Fife on the torso of Christie Brinkley.

“Hillary is an attractive woman…”
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. She’s like the “two face” episode of Seinfeld — woman who was alternately pretty and ugly.
One thing that is consistently ugly about her, besides her politics, is her voice. At least with the bust you don’t hear here.

Oh man is that bad. That needs to be bumped off a table somewhere or something.

The veins in the marble (or whatever that material is) do add to the total effect, too.

[...] Man, hope that you don’t have a mouthful of coffee or food when you run across this one! Proclaimed as the first Presidential Portrait of Hilliary Clinton, first woman president of the United States, as some are saying, it looks like a cloning experiment gone bad — cross-linking of Jimmy Carter and G-d know what! Here’s the Anchoress’ take: It’s…well, it’s pretty hideous. For some reason, Hillary - who is an attractive woman - here looks like the love child of Jimmy Carter and Eleanor Roosevelt, but wearing the breastplate usually associated with Brunnhilda in Die Walkure! This artist has done her no favor. [...]

Re: Comment #2: “Besides, “Boob” and Carter go hand-in-hand.”

Darrell, I would suggest that “Clinton” and “boob” go hand-in-hand.
.
Most of us women who are “above a certain age” are ~not~ flattered by below-the-chin shots. Could it be the bust looks better from a more usual viewing angle, face-to-face? I have to admit, if the photo wasn’t identified, I wouldn’t have recognized the bust as Hilary’s.
.
Wonder what Chelsea thinks of all this?

the love child of Jimmy Carter and Eleanor Roosevelt
More like the love child of Jimmy and James Carville.

My Eyes!
Remember my allergies had gone away? Well, they came roaring back yesterday. At least to my eyes. They itch like crazy, and I just wanna rip them out of their sockets.
It’s either allergies, or this:

Egads is right!
I was going to ignore this story until I read the Anchoress and this comment: But now…there is this bust. This “presidential” bust for the “President Hillary” we are told is a foregone conclusion in 2008. It’s…well, it’s pretty hideous….
