    Hillary Clinton’s clothes never seem to fit her, does she have a bigger sister that passes on hand me downs?

    I don't think the Princess's facial expression has changed since 1983

    “I don't think the Princess's facial expression has changed since 1983”

    Hillary should sack her stylist and demand damages for that coat.

    She's got a kevlar vest on under that blue tarp.

    Why do I always think of Ronald McDonald when I see Hillary?

    Hillary and Kim Song Il seem to be using the same fashion designer.

    Who's Kim Song Il?

    The trousers don't seem to hang very well either - I'd go one further than Cleo and say shoot the stylist. Someone call the fashion police! :-)

    She's hiding a large behind. All her suit jackets are long as well.

    As always the Empress is impeccably dressed. However Mrs. Clinton is not. Enough said.

    I think Hillary looks like she just came out of a pachinko parlor.

    I am sure the Empress is a very classy, rational woman. HRC on the other hand is a mean, nasty, vengefull, openly-practicing man-hater.

    HRC got her coat at Wal-Mart.....Chinese made.

    The Secretary of State looks delighted to meet with the Empress; the hand holding is a lovely gesture of warmed from the Empress. This is not supposed to be a fashion show anyway. At least she does not appear in short skirts or immodest clothing.

    Culture change--HRC had been on the board of Walmart for years. The purchase would not have surprised me as much as the admission she had been bought by them years ago. They don't sell bozos at Walmart. Where can I buy bozos in Kmart, please?
