Robin Givhan is NOT insane. She's the only fashion writer I can bear to read. Givhan is smart, snarky, and mixes a bit of politics and culture into her discussion of clothes.

Cornyn has never, ever given anyone any reason to believe he has a pair.

No photos of Herseth? I'd hit that matronly box.

You are SURE Cornyn has a pair? Had a good look, have you?

I wonder if the Taliban is following this. On the other hand, I do like Pelosi's "Nancy Reagan" look in the first photo. Be afraid, George.

PS: Mary Bono looks just so yummy in the article. I can take her seriously now.

i still don't understand how they could do this piece without discussing batshit-for-jesus bachmann.

I'm positively haberdasheried and scandalified, simultaneously! What's next? Thong sightings on Pennsylvania Ave ... oh sorry that was the '90's ...

Holy fucking shit. My brain can't handle this much irony.

Maybe I'm alone in this but for me Nancy P's the first ever SILF. (Speaker I'd Like to etc)

I'd like to give the governor from Alaska a pearl necklace...

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a fox! Love the way she demystified Schiavo and made Hannitty look like an idiot.

I bet all these women old congressladies would loooove a pearl necklace

What irony?

Was there some kind House Resolution passed that banned cleavage from the capitol? We need to repeal that shit.

Stephenie Herseth is hot!

I think they should all wear sneakers, baggy jeans, baseball caps with a "U.S. Congress, Yo!" logo, and Old Navy hoodies.

Frontpage be careful because they may start wearing velour jogging suits and Corkies. Let's send those 'U.S.Congress, Yo!" out though and see who puts one on.

What? No Jean Schmidt and her American flag blouse? Damn buncha commies.

Irony: female legislators are tired of feeling like dressing well means they won't be taken seriously because people talk about their fashion choices, so we'll write an article all about their fashion choices (complete with photos of the Speaker in a dashing array of outfits). Seriously, I want the speaker to show up one day in acid washed Jordache jeans and a high top fade. Why does anyone give a flying fuck?

I doubt any of them could get into a LNS party - not with those shoes.

I would personally like to know how many congresswomen have Teddy-bear knit sweaters and other Xmas kitschy clothes. I think I'd die if Pelosi wore an ornament-laden Xmas tree sweater with pearl earrings. It seems more like Kay Bailey Hutchison's style.

Would be a goy toy for Debbie Wasserman Schultz anytime. Only congresswoman I'd have a circumcision and a vasectomy for on the same day!!

It's a sad commentary on something that my reaction to the article is a combination of boredom with the status quo, a soupcon of feminist outrage, and a sense of relief that Pelosi isn't a dowd or a dud.

Well, okay, but I don't understand the hair thing. If Gabrielle Giffords chops her hair off in favor of The Pelosi 'Do, a la Steph, I will lose all respect for hot Congresswomen.
