tunic? Not trying to be snarky, (I'm a Bernie supporter), but are you sure it's a tunic? I'm kind of a fashionista, and these things matter to me. I think it's a jacket if it's the same thing she was wearing earlier.

Do not get me wrong, I am a woman a little younger than Clinton, and the stuff we need seems to multiply with age.

and have no interest in bashing Hillary's appearance. But a leather "tunic" is kind of an out there garment. Don't think she is wearing that.

It's not a factor at all in my politics, but. she has some very... odd fashion tastes. Like a weird cross between PTA board and Panem Capital wear.

Maybe her wardrobe manager is a frustrated beekeeper.

all the way down. It could be a popover/ pullover. It has no lapels, visible buttons or cutaway shape at the hem.
But it doesn't really cover the but, so am not sure I'd call it a tunic, but I get why they did. Its styled more like a blouse than a jacket.

"tunic" I was quibbling with. It's not a tunic. It's a jacket. A leather tunic would be a very unusual fashion choice.

Sun Mar 13, 2016, 11:53 PM

but it's clearly not a jacket either.

If you look in, I think it's the second picture, it doesn't have a jacket collar, more like the split-collar you'd see on a blouse and in the picture in post #8 from the rally, though it's small, where you can see the whole garment...the opening down the front doesn't go the whole length of the garment, so it's definitely pull-over, like a tee-shirt or windbreaker. (Women's fashion is not really my area of expertise, I don't know what this kind of garment would be called.)

It's a very odd garment. I can't say it looks bad on her though.

As an aside, I tried to google for a perhaps-better picture of the garment and in my search-results was a Hillary Clinton Halloween mask (looks possibly hand-made) and it is the most terrifying thing I've seen today so I'm sharing my horror with DU.


(It has Willem Dafoe mouth and way too many teeth.)

Sure, its not a serious issue that the serious beltway people take seriously because, um, seriousness.

Never mind that 34 million Californians are probably going to be next to legalize, etc.

40. "Lighten up"? While Hillary's pal DWS repeatedly votes to put medical marijuana users in prison?
Mon Mar 14, 2016, 08:01 AM
Mar 2016

While we let rapists and murderers out of cells to make more room for pot smokers?

Hillary can't even answer a debate question about marijuana legalization without clumsily "pivoting" to "the heroin crisis".



In that context, and given that a lot of her constituents -including those in important swing states like Colorado- do consider this an important issue, the hypocrisy of her sipping a beer when alcohol is a far more dangerous drug, is not going to fly without comment.

Her drug of choice is perfectly acceptable and legal.

Meanwhile how many remain imprisoned for marijuana?

She should be showing contrition, not loading up on memory impairing substances - especially with her kind of memory problems (confusing silent activism / silent acquiessence in an epidemic: "just let the queers die off&quot .

and she certainly doesn't deserve the presidency. And as for that "will be": not as long as there is anything I can do about it. The primaries aren't over yet, and then there is still the GE (where, by the way, Clinton is nigh on unelectable because of her astoundingly bad standing with independents - who are 40 % of the electorate).

So, by all means, please continue to laud a homophobe, and enjoy the last 20th century campaign. It's people like you who will be responsable for giving the GOP a fighting chance in the GE.

should make a difference.

But, with a "Jameson" logo, and everyone raising glasses of Guiness, yea, it's a tad above the average Joe neighborhood bar.

Not like the one on TV featured in "Undateable" on FRidays, located in Detroit.

Love that show. Just too bad it's finished for the season. I can imagine they would be very Bernie friendly as the campaign season unfolds. Maybe they will come back on in the fall before the election.

He used to go Irish bars in Boston and pretend to be a man of the people too. This campaigning isn't easy. You have to pretend to like common people and all that.

Acting as Nancy Reagan's hagigrapher on - of all things - her involvement in dealing with the AIDS epidemic (summary: just let those queers die off) should haunt your conscience for years to come!
