Wonkette bows its head in solemn remembrance of Yves Saint Laurent, the man who brought pantsuits to the masses. Without him, women might never have discovered the glories of pants, and Hillary Clinton would be moping across Puerto Rico in a loud sarong. [New York Times]

Okay, pantsuits can be extremely stylish. Just not in highlighter yellow, maybe.
This election is ruining fashion.
…there will be a candle light vigil and ceremony at Hillary Clinton’s New York home.
Ok, as much crap as H gets for her signature outfit, can you imagine her in other things? I personally don’t want to…
It’s too bad Saint Laurent died before he could impart his fashion wisdom to one last target…
YSL must have been mightily pissed, knowing he wouldn’t be getting the call to gussy up Hilbot in a stunning inaugural pantsuit ensemble. May have choked to death on his own bile as result. Can we somehow blame this on Mark Penn?
“Moping across Puerto Rico” sounds suspiciously like “slouching toward Bethlehem” to me.
C’mon, the sarong would be a marked improvement.
@loudmoutredhead - personally I’d like to see her in some Fredericks of Hollywood. You know the one with the boobs and crotch cut out…
Poor Yves probably died of shame at seeing his creation of the pantsuit ruined by Hillary forever and always.
@bitchincamaro:
This was a Barry tactic. He knew that the only way to kill the lizard is not to cut off the tail, but to destroy the body. Hillary’s secret powers come from the pantsuit. Without the pantsuit, her plans will foil. That Barry is one smart cookie.
problemwithcaring: A burka would be a more marked improvement.
Regarding the photo above, and any story-front displays, there is something to be said for recent advances in mannequin technology. Too bad Hillz never looked as good, or sincere, in her own p*ntsuits.
She wears elitist France-man-invented clothes, clearly not tough enough to answer the phone at 3 am. This Barry Osama guy at least sounds tough enough to kill two of them every time they kill one of us.
..and all the shrill,overweight, hard working, gun toting, hard drinking, white, middle class voters collectivly DROP OUT OF THE RACE ALREADY!
MoodProcessor: Hers have a very “Captain Kanaroo-ish” vibe methinks.
Christ, I don’t care, anymore. You start coming across this stuff and I don’t care about Hilz; just get these creatures out: prisons at sea? more on this administration and and its outstanding record. saw this at Sullivan.
freakishlystrong: They can’t. They have Hillarhea of the mouth.
problemwithcaring: Don’t forget the cankles, can’t forget the cankles…
freakishlystrong: Hillary/Greenjeans’08!
I just can’t wait to stop getting all the e-mails from my buddies that’s got Obama and Hillz in bed naked together. Who’s idea was it to photoshop that shit?
I just feel bad that my first ever suit purchase was a skirt suit because buying a pantsuit felt too dirty.
I saw Hillz Friday night and she was wearing a green dress with some sorta frilly collar — and she actually looked good in it. Why doesn’t she wear stuff like that more often? We had dinner, we talked about childrens’ health issues — wow, does she glow when she feels passionately about something — then we strolled through the peaceful night back to the hotel where she was staying. “I had a wonderful time,” I said. “It doesn’t have to end now,” she replied with a smile. “Want to come up for a coupla shots of Makers Mark and an espresso?” Well, how could I resist? And if you want to find out how it ended, you’ll have to read the book.
@loudmouthredhead: One need only look at Old Ironsides (or the Iron Butterfly, or whatever they used to call Maggie Thatcher) to see that it is possible for women of a certain age to project authority and elegance without resorting to the FUP-enhancing pantsuit.
graceless: That’s what strappy sandals were made for- cankles. I mean, am I the only one who bathes their eyes in the picture of her cottage-cheese thigh limped lovingly over Bill’s while they’re wearing those saggy, matching royal blue, old people bathing suits - just to get relief from watching this leader of American womanhood donning YET ANOTHER ugly-ass, primary colored-out shoulder-padded outfit? Where the hell is Stacy London when America and freedom needs her?
problemwithcaring: Yeah. Nothing sarong with that.
Also, I always wondered how to pronounce ‘Yves’, but I suppose I have Wikipedia for that.
@tunamelt: reminds me of the Office episode when everybody (but Michael) realizes he’s been wearing lady suits to work. Haaaaaaaaaa.
@problemwithcaring: You know, you’re absolutely right. In fact, I’ll take it a step further–not only does Hilz need a Stacy London intervention, AMERICA needs a Stacy London intervention. To hell with Hilz, Hopey and Walnuts! I nominate Stacy London and Clinton Kelly for P/VP. Everybody will look fabulous, and since there’s a “Clinton” on the ticket the Xanax-addled Hillturds will feel appeased.
WHAT? HILLARY IN A SARONG?! SHE IS TOO ALL-AMERICAN DOWNHOME PATRIOTIC TO WEAR THOSE TERRORIST CLOTHES!!
If ONLY Yves had crafted a pantsuit for Hillz. She insists of wearing that off-the-rack crap she found at Dress Barn. Maybe Michelle can take her shopping once she stops running, you know, sometime in January.
contrast with Obama, who is always stylish and farting through elitist silk boxers or briefs
bitchincamaro: It was customary for the marching band at my school to yell “Sit down, pantsuit!” at the female coaches of women’s basketball teams. I think that makes me kind of sexist, but that’s what I think now when I see Hillary talking. Anyway, “Sit down, pantsuit” is way nicer than “You are a failed abortion,” which is gender-neutral.
If not for pantsuits, we would have to see her legs more often. I, for one, just couldn’t take that. Hurrah for the pantsuit!
masterdebater: You have a problem with Hillz’ Americana legs? I’m pretty sure they’re red, white and blue.
MoodProcessor: But also bitter and veiny.
I am just pissed at the picture in the article.
Why is it that the supermodels only want to kiss the gay guys?
MoodProcessor: Oh God, Why?
MoodProcessor: AMy you be sentenced to 10 years of performing Hillz’ pedicures and calf massages for that bit of imagery.
I blame June for this tragedy.
shortsshortsshorts: Hillz legs are bitter?
