....or "Why I'm Doing This".
I'm sure you all have seen by now this wonderful smackdown of the terrific-looking, evil and crooked and vain Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn. A politician's vanity can be forgiven, this suit cannot.
Congresswoman, please.
You were a professional shopper. You know better.
And although I will be entitling all my diaries on whatever subject "Breasts" from now on, I swear to you all - SWEAR - that I had no intention to make the subject matter match the title. Droll non sequitur was my intent. But I think that what I will do is use the trick my grandfather used during his slideshows and slip in an extremely tasteful photographic portrayal of a woman somewhere in my later comments. Just for fun. Just to get your attention. This woman will almost certainly have breasts.
It just so happens that the "hottest woman in US politics" brought attention to the Petraeus scandal the other day and it's reasonably obvious why she beat out the competition for that title. Also suggests that more men voted more than women.
When I told a friend how it was that General Petraeus was a fraud who actually dared to sport a COMBAT VALOR medal he did not earn AT ALL, my friend wrote:
"No real surprise, but only insiders are actually going to care about something like this. It's meaningless to people who are struggling to pay for health care."
It may seem unimportant - perhaps insultingly - whether Representative Blackburn is a beautiful full-figured woman or what medals General Petraeus has for serving his country for many years, if not in combat. But General Petraeus and Rep. Blackburn are leaders of a political effort and leaders for a team.
It may not be nice, but you have to hit that team by hitting the individuals who put themselves forward to represent it. That's politics. That is simply necessary. David Petraeus is leading the fight against expanded healthcare. Representative Blackburn is using her good looks to increase spending and borrowing and create a credit crisis. It doesn't matter what each individual political person is "for" because they are part of a team, and this is a contact sport.
