This is a stupid topic. Why don't we ALL read about what she actually really thinks instead of what she was sporting that day because it's frankly, ridiculous. Get on with it people, women have baggage up there, and sometimes it's really kind of okay to highlight or acknowledge its presence.
Honestly, she didn't pull a Janet Jackson.

Obama's open collar, Romney's make up, Carter's cardigan, Reagan's hair dye, Nixon's five o'clock shadow, Kennedy's ManTan, Roosevelt's hidden wheel chair -- nothing new here. Except maybe the public's obsession, accomodated by the ratings-hungry media, with form over substance -- a trend, like mercenary armies, to be noted by a future Gibbons in "The Rise and Fall of the American Empire." But the attention given to Hillary's neckline -- or cleavage or breasts -- is a little more fundamental. It goes to resistence to change in our society, and to our immaturity when it comes to matters sexual. Women are viewed as powerful and threatening by a lot of us men, in part because they were dominent in the early life of each of us, in part because many of us suspect that our own sexual impulses can give women great leverage over us. There's no secret that male-dominated society (and the women who buy into it for their own reasons) has worked pretty hard to keep women subservient for millenia, at least in many societies. Why keep a group subservient if you don't fear them? Seeing that Hillary is -- omigod! -- an anatomically correct female just raises the stakes in the game. Are people really willing to allow a woman to run things if she appears actually to be female? Or only if she conceals or downplays her gender (and where DID Chelsea come from, after all?)? Or, maybe, in the privacy of the voting booth, we'll justify pulling a different lever, even though we know she's experienced and thoughtful and steady, by saying we just find her abrasive or manipulative. No, it's not really about Hillary's cleavage. It's about America's lack of maturity. An immaturity that allowed us to be comfortable electing an apparent "just plain folk" phony because we didn't have to think about it. An immaturity that leads people to draw conclusions on something so superficial as a not-immodest neckline rather than policy acumen.

CNN International 7:50-55 AM EST 31 July just reported:

"BLOGGERS SAY CLINTON INTENTIONALLY SHOWS CLEAVAGE TO COVER UP.....

CAMPAIGNING TOO MUCH LIKE A MAN"

they just conveniently left out which man: G BUSH!

I have just scanned all the CNN blog entries, and only 3 fit this bill:

1. Zak Washington DC : July 27, 2007 3:27 pm – He calls the Clinton Campaign's reaction a "Victim Stunt"

2. Clem, Maryland : July 27, 2007 3:35 pm – Says they're covering up her "cankles" (must mean "ankles")

3. My blog entry above July 28, 2007 8:14 am

Where I accuse the Clinton campaign of distracting from the the fact that Obama had nailed her as BUSH-lite.

Furthermore, I agree with Zak that she pulled a victim stunt to these ends.

I understand I'm being outrageously unrealistic to even suggest that someone at CNN actually paid attention to my comment, then "spun" it, but there you are. They said the criticism came from the Internet.

Or are they looking at other companies' blogs more than their own blog? That wouldn't be very professional, would it?

I have nothing against Obama BUT -

If You Feel Obama is such a Visionary Leader, has far more experience in the real world than Clinton, and you enjoyed his BOOK SO MUCH "“the Audacity of Hope” I WOULD THINK YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET HIS NAME RIGHT!
Barry Obama?????? WHAT A JOKE !
I hope when you proudly display his painting on your wall you do it justice by signing his True Given Name! HA
And how about you detail for us all his experience and great characteristics. Words are just shallow rantings void of proof.

"To me, Obama is a visionary leader. He has far more experience in the real world than Clinton or any of the other candidates. Everything I hear and read about him furthers this. He was a civil rights attorney, he worked to rise people above their stations. He is the kind of leader that comes along once a generation if we’re lucky. I’ve just read “the Audacity of Hope” and it was so stirring, so clear, so clearly written not by a ghost writer but in the voice of the man himself. Barry Obama is the real deal, he’s the sort of fighter that we need oh so desperately in these trying times"

I'm totally disgusted with all of this discussion about Hillary Clinton's cleavage. It is sexism at it's worst- and in the "political ticker" you've attempted to avoid responsibility for propelling these discussions by focusing on the controversy. "Look what other people are talking about- Can you believe it?" In reality, however, you're keeping people focused on a totally irrelevant aspect of Clinton's candidacy. And no, there is no true comparison to discussions of McCain's sweaters, etc. To even make that comparison is insulting to all women, not just Clinton. This article belongs in a tabloid or on FOX news, not on CNN.

To me, Obama is a visionary leader. He has far more experience in the real world than Clinton or any of the other candidates. Everything I hear and read about him furthers this. He was a civil rights attorney, he worked to rise people above their stations. He is the kind of leader that comes along once a generation if we’re lucky. I’ve just read “the Audacity of Hope” and it was so stirring, so clear, so clearly written not by a ghost writer but in the voice of the man himself. Barry Obama is the real deal, he’s the sort of fighter that we need oh so desperately in these trying times. I would go door to door for this candidate, I would believe he would look at any issue either foriegn or domestic with clear eyes and make decisions that were both humane and smart for our country and the world. The other candidates all strike me as fodder for lobbists, career politicians. I remember how moved I was when I heard his speech during Kerry’s convention. He is indeed a uniter, someone who can bring this sadly divided dis union back into union again. People will put paintings and photos on their walls of this man in the same way they do JFK or MLK. Mark my words, America and the world will prosper under President Obama. To see that happen I’d gladly travel to Ohio, to South Carolina, to Iowa, or anywhere else I needed to go to ensure he gets a fair shot. That’s all the man needs, is one good fair shot. Given his due he’ll do us right. Do the research. Don’t be a lemming. Read about him, read his own words. They aren’t sound bites, they’re living, breathing, human thoughts full of compassion and common sense, stength and integrity. Really look at this candidate. Do your kids and their kids the biggest favor of our lives.

Go over to Huffington Post and you can see the jacket and top that caused fashion writer Robin Givhan to gasp in The Washington Post that it was the sartorial equivalent of a man's open fly. You could see more than that at most church services and certainly any office in America. The fact that Clinton's political team decided to channel the ridiculous barb into a fundraising opportuntiy is just politics in America. Why not? Clinton didn't do anything wrong. There is a great rebuttal to the whole thing in an article by Judith Warner in today's NYT. She suggests that Ms. Givhans works with so many anorexics that a regular woman's body seems to be some sort of shock to her. The Hillary haters out there will need to find some other lame reason to continue their rant, especially the ones speaking with great authority who did not even read the article and don't get it why there was a political response.

"Hillary’s only 5 foot 4. Imagine her visiting one of those middle eastern countries. They’ll probably pat her on the head, call there kids to play with her and Like CNN give her a podium to stand on when making a speech.

Posted By Kevin NH : July 27, 2007 6:55 pm "

Actually, I read Madame Albrights 900 page memoir and one point she made very clear is that she could go anywhere as Amassador and was taken very seriously not because of her gender but because she REPRESENTS AMERICA.

My only problem with Hillary is she's not a fresh new person. She has 8 years of baggage as First Lady, plus any baggage from her Senator position. If we had a NEW female running then the "person vs gender" debate would look rather different.

Wether I am for Hillary or not is besides the question, I believe a woman should use any tool in her arsenal to get the job done, as long as it isn't muckraking. Ditto for men. There is so much pettiness in our society, good politicians were rendered non-grata. for a social indiscretion, and incompetents were ushered in and called presidents.

Instead of worrying about the "cleavage" comment let's hear Clinton's and Obama's stance on the article entitled "Bush seeks big boost in arms for Mideast allies" to friendly nations in the Middle East on the MSNBC website. Why isn't there mention of this on CNN? Wasn't Iraq once a "friendly nation" armed by the US?? Isn't Saudi Arabia funding and arming Sunni insurgents? Your government continually makes this world a more dangerous place and you continue to focus on high school campaigning. The military power of the US makes it the "most powerful" gov't in the world, not its policies or examples internally or externally. What are Hillary Clinton's experiences and accomplishments...not that she has been around Washington. These should be listed and itemized by the people who contend this. And the credit for the North Korea negotiation goes to ALL the countries involved!! America and the world needs a visionary not more of the same!

You know I really have to wonder, how hard is it today for reporters,newspapers, media to get a good story? How much are these people paid anyway for their mere opinions, views, perceptions even if twisted, slanted, out of focus, on any subject they wish to cover?

This "clevage" hype by the Washington Post certainly tells what side of the aisle they are on.

I have to wonder, if it weren't for hype and the rebuttals from the targets of the same, would we be getting any news?

This topic was not only low ball reporting. It was Gender Biased and totally Jeuvenile.Lets' get back to talents and credentials shall we?

Just when things start getting very uncomfortable for Clinton because Obama called her number on her Bush-like foreign policy, she pulls a dirty political trick (probably suggested by Bill) and flashes her cleavage to change the subject, move the focus to her, and make her appear like a victim.

As if every item of her wardrobe were not the subject of a staff review.

As if people (women and men) never used their sexuality as a weapon; in this case, one which shows her growing panic.

At least the people reading these blogs are not that naive, especially when they see the ready-made banner advertising from the Clinton campaign featuring her cleavage. There's one at the top of this page as I'm reading it.

Edwards will not have the backing to beat the Republicans in 08. But there is one clear choice. She has the knowledge, the experience, the name recognition in her own right, diplomacy (WOW!) and can lead this country into a better tomorrow for all of us, not just the wealthy. Go Hillary! I will be proud to cast my vote for the first woman president in 08!

So Hillary's outfit suggested confidence and physical ease. Thank you Dr. Freud for the style section. Perhaps Ms. Givhan should head back to reviewing B-list movies for the entertainment section at the Detroit Free Press or back to Vogue. Tsk, tsk, tsk, a Pulitzer Prize winner for criticism should know better. Or maybe she should just go work for Obama's campaign. Me thinks that's what this is all about, n'est-ce pas?. God forbid CNN should look anything up or fill in the blanks. Givhan actuually said, "it was more like catching a man with his fly unzipped." And that, Boys, is offensive to women and should be to men, too. Not as offensive as bad press coverage though. It's like you hire junior high students.

If there WERE good candidates, they sure as hell wouldn't be engaged in a media circus and buying the public vote. They would be working (a hell of a lot more than the 127 days congress spent in session last year) and doing the bidding of the public.
Instead we have a bunch of limelight addicts who don't work for the public, they engage in enriching their own lives and pushing their personal agendas.

Hillary Clinton has more brains than any other Presidential candidate (Republican and Democrat)put together.

Why do so many corporate media outlets, CNN included, try to turn political elections into popularity contests? We have to listen to Chris Mathews' nauseating man-crush on Fred Thompson; vapid, mindless gossip about John Edwards' haircuts; Mitt Romney's chiseled features; and now Hilary Clinton's breasts. When you're not busy digging up important “news” like this, you're inundating us with all the sordid details of the personal lives of people like Paris Hilton, the Beckhams, Lindsay Lohan, or some other useless Hollywood tramp du jour while the country burns. This isn't high school. We aren't voting for prom king/queen. Grow up. We're in the mess we're in now because the media cares more about appearances than issues, and too many people buy whatever the media sells without stopping to think or form their own opinion (as though they could given how sparse the presentation of facts are). The media has a responsibility to the public to tell us who is lying and who is telling the truth, and not just telling what each side has to say without analysis or investigation. We would all be much better off if you would start doing your jobs instead of trying to entertain us. If we want entertainment, we'll go to the movies. George Bush has been looting and pillaging this country's assets and trampling on the constitution largely because the corporate media failed to expose groups like the "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" for what they really were: a bunch of hired Republican operatives assassinating the character of an actual war hero while propping up commander codpiece, who was MIA all during the Vietnam war. Those are the facts and they have been readily available for years. It's pointless to bring this up because the beltway chattering class simply roll their eyes when they hear complaints like this.

Dear Ticker Producer.
I am a former medical scientist, PHD, now retired. Everyday I read CNN site, including Ticker, and everyday it is difficult for me to read how purposefully and negatively you write about Senator Hillary Clinton. This person is admirable not only for me,I will be not mistaken to say, for the majority of the American people. This nation should be proud to have such an highly educated person, exclusively intelligent, with deep knowledge of the most important issues for the nation (health care, economics, foreign policy, national security, poverty, etc).
It surprisers me why CNN TV channel (Wolf Blitzer)and Internet site day after the day constantly are busy to invent all kind of insinuations about Senator Clinton, trying to create a negative impression about her at any cost. Why the great abilities of such a talanted anchor as Wolf Blitzer is regularly used to disinform the American people in the very important issue of presidental campaign, negatively presented the most deserving candidate-Senator Clinton.I am sure The American people will not go after your mendacious propoganda. It will be smart enough to make the right choice for the next president of this great nation-everybody knows how able and smart is Senator Clinton and everybody remembers and knows bright examples of UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel of Germany.
I would like to ask you and Wolf Blitzer stop doing this ignoble deed, do not mislead the american voters. Election of the president is an issue of too much importance and meaning and it should not be used in selfinterest of any malicious or greedy groups.
CNN as leader of the Media should be a carrier of the most trustworthy information.

Respectfully,
Sevil Babayev.

I think Hilary's characterization of Obama's comments as "silly" shows some condescension that is reminiscent of that of Bush senior when refering to Clinton/Gore in 1991 as those bozos. It did not work for Bush senior and it is unlikely to work for her. I believe she is resorting to republican tactics by trying to reduce a very serious issue to oneliners or slogans. This does not allow for serious public debate.
