Gorgeous Hillary

[question everything]

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gestures as she addresses Indian students and university officials during a function at a university campus in New Delhi July 20, 2009.

1. "Coup is such an ugly word, I prefer to refer to it as right-sizing".

[damonm]

60. ?

[rateyes]

2. K&R

[pecwae]

3. Beautiful! nt

[Beacool]

4. Lovely pic, thanks.

I'm glad that her arm appears to be so much better.

:hi:

[tblue37]

5. She has certainly come into her own as SoS. In every photo of her I see

of her these days she seem so be so happy she is almost glowing. I think she finally feels that she has a reasonably expansive arena for her talent and intellect, which she was forced to keep subservient to her husband's political career for so long, and which had only a limited arena as junior senator from New York in a legislative body where seniority is everything.

The SoS is, of course, subordinate to the POTUS, but it is nonetheless an executive position in its own right, in control of a large government department, and I believe she has blossomed there.

[livetohike]

6. I agree

She looks at peace in this job. From the beginning, she genuinely looks happy, which in turn will help her do a great job :-).

[question everything]

7. Right. Which is why the comments from the "media" that she is passed over

is ridiculous. She is a member of a team and executing the policy that the White House determines.

Plus, a "minor" diversion of a broken arm that prevented her from traveling.

[asjr]

9. The media have had both Clintons on the

crap list since before Bill took office. They couldn't stand it that Hillary had a brain and used it. The media is our enemy.

[Beacool]

10. Yep, the SOS has to manage 50,000 people worldwide.

It's akin to being the CEO of a good sized company and it's great executive experience.

;)

[burning rain]

8. IBEG!

In before emilyg. Damn, Beacool beat me here, or it would've been IBEGBC. Hillary does look damn good in that picture. I agree that she's finding that her mind and talents have found a greater scope at State, though I might have rather seen her as Senate majority leader rather than ineffectual Grampa Harry.

[Beacool]

13. You got to be quick on your feet around here.

:rofl:



:hi:

[burning rain]

69. Good to see you too, buddy....

especially in such good spirits. :hi:

[City Lights]

11. She looks great! nt

[Bankhead_ATL]

12. she looks ok ...she going to need some print remover for that make-up.......JK

[CatWoman]

14. what's that supposed to mean?

:shrug:

[Beacool]

15. He's a guy, otherwise I would call him catty...........

x(

Not too many women look this good at 61:

[CatWoman]

16. i think his being from Bankhead has more to do with it

[Beacool]

17. I don't get it.

What's Bankhead?

:(

[CatWoman]

20. Bankhead is a section of Atlanta

known for it's "crassness"....

[Beacool]

23. Oh, OK

Thanks for the explanation.

:-)

[Bankhead_ATL]

24. Bankhead is a section of Atlanta that is 90% black and Poor or working poor

Nt

[CatWoman]

41. and are they known for their makeup removal expertise?

[Beacool]

50. Good one!!

:rofl:

[laugle]

90. That's funny......I love the kitties...........nt

[Number23]

45. Some of the best people I have ever known in my entire life were from Bankhead

And some of the best fried food I ever tasted I got there. :)

I'm a SWATS girl to the bone. Even though I now live in Australia.

[Bankhead_ATL]

51. Ah u know ATL unlike The Catwoman

[CatWoman]

54. ****THUD****

I live in Atlanta, oh clueless one.

[Bankhead_ATL]

56. Oh my GOD...Well I never!!!!!!!!!!!

[road2000]

21. Are you thinking of Buckhead? n/t

[CatWoman]

22. no

I'm not.

[Bankhead_ATL]

25. Yes she is thinking of BuckHead

[CatWoman]

40. no Swami

as I stated above, I was 'thinking' of BANKhead

take your mind reading show elsewhere

[Number23]

46. Wow. Fascinating comment. What exactly does it mean?

[CatWoman]

55. I didn't start the fire

[tblue37]

18. I will be 59 in a month, and she looks way better than I do! nt

[Beacool]

19. I'm sure that you still look good.

I hope that you have a great birthday!!

;)

[tblue37]

30. Thanks!

But, really, she looks far, far better than I do:

[Beacool]

31. You look fine and I love your thick red hair.

:hi:

[tblue37]

66. Yeah, I do have quite a head full.

Back in 1991, my dad, aged 71 at the time, was visiting me when I had to go to get my hair cut. The beautician complimented me on having such a head of thick, wavy hair. I said, "My 71-year-old dad at home has the same sort of hair--only his is still mostly black." (He was Sicilian.) He died the next year, with a full head of thick, wavy hair--still as much black as gray.

[pecwae]

34. Are you kidding?

You're a bonny lass.

[tblue37]

67. Why, thank you. I'd still love to look as good as Hillary does, though. nt

[jesus_of_suburbia]

26. I'm a guy too.. so I'll call him an "attention seeker"

Hugs to you, Bea!

:loveya:




Hillary is gorgeous in MANY ways.... but her physical beauty (which she has, but is NOT important) is not what she wants to be remembered for. Her mind and her kindness far outshine her other attributes.. and those are what I will always be thankful for when I think of SOS Clinton.

[Beacool]

35. Hi, Jesus!!!

How's it going?

You're right about Hil, she would not like to be remembered as just another pretty face. She's not vain at all, her preferred look is no contacts and no make-up. She also is not a fashionista, she has no time for it. The same for cooking, she can't cook worth s**t. LOL!!!

:7

[jesus_of_suburbia]

43. I'll cook for her (and you too..)... I LOVE cooking!

:9

[Beacool]

48. Really????

You are a rare man indeed!!!

What's your specialty?

:P

[jesus_of_suburbia]

61. Oh Bea, you shouldn't have asked me that, lol!

If you are ever in TN, I'll be happy to cook for you!

And I'll cook whatever you want!


I'd need to know your tastes before I told you my specialties, lol (I'm decent at preparing multiple dishes).

I always cook according to the tastes of my guests.



My preferences are chicken dishes and vegetarian dishes, but I can do fish and beef too.





When I cook for a friend, I usually give them a list of many things I enjoy cooking with, and then take what they tell me and cook the meal. I'd also ask them what style of cuisine they enjoy. So JUST for the main course, I might ask you what you like out of a list of ingredients, and then I'd go from there.


Of course I only do that for people I like... so of course you are included ;-)

[Beacool]

78. Jesus, you know the way to a girl's heart.

I'm easy to feed, I'll eat almost anything. I'm well traveled and used to all sorts of foods. I'm sure that anything you made would be delicious.

Now, if you were cooking for Hillary, it would have to be something spicy. She loves Mexican and Indian food. She carries a bottle of hot sauce everywhere she goes and uses it quite liberally.

You sound like a great host. If I'm ever in your part of the country it would be an honor to eat one of your meals.

:pals:

[emilyg]

87. You talking from experience?

[RoadRage]

27. The sling is gone?!

Awesome! Hopefully this will end all of the "Hillary is being marginalized by the Obama administration" BS that the MSM is spewing because they're bored...

[Beacool]

32. Yep, has been off since last week.

:woohoo:

[Bankhead_ATL]

28. I am just joking about Hillary people...Aggggrrrrrrr

[question everything]

33. We take her very seriously

so next time when you want to joke, be careful what you wish for..

So there.

[Beacool]

36. Well, you stirred the pot and got spanked for the trouble.

:spank:



:7

[JNelson6563]

29. She is so perfect for this job.

And superficial tho' it is, she looks quite ravishing. SOS well becomes her!

Julie--shouting "You go girl!" to our SOS

[burning rain]

70. She's doing a damn good job there.

I might add that her policies re. State employees, especially extending benefits to partners of gay employees, are a big step forward. Plus, SoS is a good launching pad for a presidential campaign in 2016, should she decide to make the race. Better than being a senator -- now she's outside the congressional fray and not bogged down in puny Senate compromises.

[dolphindance]

37. Is it wrong for me to say that I like her pearl necklace? :)

[Beacool]

42. Hmmmm, it depends...........

:o

38. A Clinton moment: the naked truth about Americans

By ROBERT BURNS (AP)

NEW DELHI — Americans as naked gladiators?

Indians as blissful beauties?

Those were the images — exaggerated a bit for dramatic effect — that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton evoked Monday in a question-and-answer session with university students who probed her thinking on a range of topics — some personal.

It was a classic Clinton moment, engaging in what she calls public diplomacy to argue that Americans have more in common with people around the globe than is often suggested. She blamed the media — not just the news but also entertainment — for distortions.

"If Hollywood and Bollywood were how we all lived our lives, that would surprise me," she said with a tone of understatement. "And yet it's often the way our cultures are conveyed, isn't it?

"People watching a Bollywood movie in some other part of Asia think everybody in India is beautiful and they have dramatic lives and happy endings. And if you were to watch American TV and our movies you'd think that we don't wear clothes and we spend all our time fighting with each other."

The crowd roared.

Nice article about this event.

:D

[quantass]

39. At one point she prolly could have passed as a milf

Bill was a good looking guy in his youth and Hillary wasnt so bad either (in her youth) but what i cant understand is what went wrong with the progeny ... where's Mendel when you need him :crazy:

:hide:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

49. "but what i cant understand is what went wrong with the progeny"

quantass said:

"and Hillary wasnt so bad either (in her youth)"



WELL THE LAST 3 LETTERS IN YOUR USERNAME ARE APPROPRIATE FOR SURE.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

71. Chelsea is a beautiful, smart young lady.

Her parents are smart and attractive.

Your remark about Gregor Mendel is nonsensical.

[jenmito]

44. Why all the emphasis on her looks?

Isn't this considered sexist? Or only if it's something NEGATIVE about her looks? :shrug:

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

52. Meh, if Hillary's supporters want to complement her looks, I've got no problem.

As a Hillary hater during the primary, I can say that I think she's doing an excellent job and totally exceeding my expecations...

[jenmito]

57. The problem I have is that the same people post nothing but negative things

about Obama and they're the first to scream "SEXIST" if anyone says ANYTHING negative about her, not even only about her looks.

[CakeGrrl]

53. Guess so. And imagine the apoplectic comments if

someone had opened a thread with this title about the President or the First Lady.

:rofl:

[jenmito]

58. Not only that...

but if someone criticized her looks in ANY way-look out!

[CakeGrrl]

59. Agreed. I'm chalking up the double-standard to sour grapes, since

I've seen one or two less-than-complimentary remarks about FLOTUS from those who are gaga over the SoS. It doesn't go unnoticed, but like POTUS would do, I mostly brush it off.

[jenmito]

62. Good...

I agree and noticed the same things. They still haven't gotten over the FACT that OBAMA won.

[seaglass]

63. You REALLY need to try harder to get over the primaries. Obama is

President - it's done, move on.

[CakeGrrl]

64. Thanks for the newsflash! But this ain't about the primaries.

If I see a double-standard, I'll make a comment if I'm so inclined, as there have been several very recent threads including comments making fun of people for saying anything complimentary about POTUS and FLOTUS with regard to looks or fashion.

[question everything]

73. First, men often are being complimented on their looks

especially if they lose weight, or something.

Second, there were so many hateful comments about her look during the primaries, on DU, on talk radio, on late night shows that it is a pleasure to see how radiant she is.

And when a person is confident and happy in what s/he is doing, it shows, and it generates goodwill among the ones whom she meets.

[jenmito]

88. Really?

Do you have any examples of threads on men's looks here at DU?

She looks the same now as she did then. Now the primaries are over. Hillary and Obama look pretty much the same as they did back then.

Would you say the same about Sarah Palin? My point being that looks are irrelevant.

[laugle]

91. With all the talk about

Michelle's looks and clothes is that sexist too? I don't think so.......

Compliments are a good thing!

Lighten up!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

47. I bought some pantsuits in her honor! I love them!

[Blasphemer]

65. She has aged beautifully

She's one of those women who looks better when they are over 50 than they did in their youth. Blythe Danner and Helen Mirren also come to mind.

[Beacool]

77. I agree.

She's looking great and so are Blythe and Helen. I'm a big fan of these ladies. I also like Judi Dench a lot, three great actresses.

:-)

[jenmito]

68. Enough make-up, facial filler injections, etc., can do wonders...

since looks are so important and all. :shrug:

[question everything]

74. How sad that you are so bitter

and determined that "the same" people who praise Hillary go after the Obamas. What, you are keeping a note book with marks who is saying what? Perhaps even rushing to U every post of those of us, evil people, who like Hillary?

How pathetic.

[jenmito]

85. I'm not bitter at all...

I'm just being superficial like the rest of you. You start a thread about her look so I'm giving MY opinion of her looks.

No-I'm not keeping a notebook. My memory just WORKS and I'm able to read and remember people's posts/threads and it's to the point where I know if I see certain names, I know before I click on their threads/posts whether they'll be positive or negative.

What's pathetic are superficial threads like this one.

[leftynyc]

80. For Heavens sake

Who shit in your breakfast?

[jenmito]

86. Nobody.

I'm just stating a fact about people's appearances since this thread is about someone's appearance.

[laugle]

92. You really do need to

get a life!! You obviously can't stand a positive thread about Hillary!!

Give it a rest!!!

[Vektor]

84. I don't think her looks are the most important thing about her...

But it is a nice picture of her. I don't know if she's using fillers, Botox, etc...but if she is it's not crazy looking or anything, IMHO. She still looks pretty natural. If she's using them, it's not being done with too heavy a hand.

Now Joan Rivers...that's a problem!!

[smalll]

72. HIllary IS 45 --

Our Girl will be the Madame Inevitable of 2016.

:hide:

[question everything]

75. I doubt it (nt)

[cboy4]

76. +1

:thumbsup:

[invictus]

79. LMAO at the Clinton lovefest in here. Terry, is that you?

[RBInMaine]

81. If she was my age and willing, I'd sleep with her. (A little too old for me now.)

[Samantha]

82. She looks very lovely, confident and happy

I did not support her Presidential campaign, but I hope she is happy today with her life and I wish her well.

Sam

PS I do love that outfit.

[PresidentObama]

83. I'm so proud of her, and she looks lovely. One of the greatest public servants n/t

[ecstatic]

89. I like the new hair do. I think she should go long again

Or maybe something entirely different--curly.
