Why We Can't Have a Female President

It's sad, really. Imagine being a world leader on the international stage-- having your ideas actually listened to and perhaps acted upon--and still you worry about your hair. This unfortunate circumstance is the one currently affecting Hillary Clinton, who seems caught somewhere even worse than between a rock and a hard place: below the ears and above the shoulders.

It shouldn't matter, but it does: women and their hair is a big deal--at least to other women. But our current Secretary of State has made her hairdo newsworthy by showing up here, there and everywhere with a different look. Among the worst was last September when she she wore a plastic hair clip to a U. N. meeting with world leaders, mostly men, none of whom wore hair clips. (Not a single one!)

See, this is what happens when women get into power: All hell breaks loose.

  1. I share hair problems with Hilary!!!! and please, feel free to comment on the bad hair of male politicians; the field is vast.

    Here's another similar story: Australian open and the commentators comment that this is the first time 2 married women competed for the final. Can you imagine them saying how interesting it is that 2 married men are competing? Federer is married, Chris Evert was married, Lendl was married, Agassis was married, Borg was married, Navratilova had lovers. WHO CARES if the competitors are married?!?!?! I hate commentators. Except for you.

    I am already worried about the Stupid Bowl coming up on Sunday. and btw, there will be some bad hair there. be sure to watch.

  2. She looked so put together when running for office, never a bad hair day. What IS going on? Then again Golda Meir never had a good hair day, but everyone accepted that or didn't care. But, Hillary was looking good not too long ago, and she did have some awkward years before that, maybe she's "cycling". She needs a 'hair -intervention' before it is too late!
