Pantsuits Aside, Diane von Furstenberg Is Ready for Hillary

...and another from Bloomberg.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Fashion icon Diane von Furstenberg wants Hillary Clinton to be president and has no complaints about the former secretary of state’s style, even if it doesn’t include the classic DVF wrap dress.

“I hope that Hillary runs and I hope that she becomes president,” von Furstenberg said in an interview at the Lead On Watermark Silicon Valley Conference for Women, wearing sunglasses and one of her signature dresses. “If Hillary is running I will definitely be helping her.”

Von Furstenberg, 68, is member of the board of the Clinton-founded Vital Voices, a stalwart Democratic donor and a longtime Clinton loyalist. She shifted her support to Barack Obama after Clinton lost the Democratic primary, but her admiration for Clinton never faded.


“She has a wonderful sense of fashion for herself.”

Diane von Furstenberg


“I think she is a very attractive woman. I think she has beautiful skin, beautiful smile, beautiful eyes,” von Furstenberg said. “She’s a woman of substance, you know, and how can you judge her hair and her clothes when she goes on—as secretary of state she goes on all the time? I mean, nobody would do that to a man. I mean, what is that? She has a wonderful sense of fashion for herself. She has a wonderful sense of the woman that she is and it’s all about the substance and it’s all about the honesty and it’s all about the truth.”

I don't give a flying fuck at a rolling donut what she looks like. I care that she's competent and not a piece of decorative window dressing to distract us while all the worst men in the country do terrible things behind her.

I think Clinton is competent. I'm just afraid her economic policy and foreign policy are both too far to the right.

If she's the nominee, I'll vote for her. What she's wearing on the campaign trail will be completely unimportant.

You can't believe the RW postings, sure they don't want her running.
