Fox News makes fun of Clinton's age by polling people to ask if they know she's 60
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,305426,00.html

That's how I read it, considering that it's a ridiculous poll to take out. There are more than 15 major candidates for president and they take out a poll out on the only woman in the group, knowing that it's not classy to ask a woman her age or talk about it. That the fOx News channel actually paid money to call people up and ask them, "DID YOU KNOW HILLARY WAS SIXTY YEARS OLD?" comes off like a taunt.

Will these people ever grow up?

1. Men lose brains and brawn as they get older.
Women stay smart for much much longer.

And the US ate him up after having enough of Raygun and Bushit. (oh yea Cheney too he was there, in the dark crevices where cockaroaches crawl and hide).

3. No, they won't.
It's ever so much more fun for them to be little sissy-ass bullies.

8. Just wondering, If it is mysogynistic to mention her age in any way is
saying she "looks" good for 60 misygynistic too? I mean we rarely talk about the age of male candidates in regard to "looks" except for Edwards who is referred to as "too young looking".

14. I don't believe it is misogynistic to mention her age in any way
I also don't think my saying, "she looks good for 60" is misogynistic either.

By the way what does misogynistic mean?

:)

9. I think she looks fantastic for 60!!
She looks like she is full of energy. FAUX just can not stand a strong woman. They consistently make fun of her and it looks ridiculous. We know they like to show that women are less than men. All of their female anchors wear SHORT SKIRTS every single day. I have NEVER seen one in a pair of slacks! Even one of the women (can't remember her name) that is on in the morning was very pregnant and was still wearing a short skirt. It looked hideous. The more they make fun of Clinton, the more supporters she gets. She is now getting many more women voters on her side in an effort to defend her IMO.

13. I don't get it.Who care if she "looks good for 60"? She isn't a movie star.
and such comparison is subjective. Compared with whom? Hillary is attractive in her own right. She may look better or worse than others. So what?

22. I completely agree. I've often thought she looks great.
She could use Stacy and Clinton's help from time to time, but she overall looks fabulous. I'm so glad she's not hiding her wrinkles or her neck or any of those traces of time. Those just make me respect her more.

12. I Love This................
It cracks me up when some men are so afraid of a powerful woman that they have to make a big deal of her age. Exactly what does that have to do with anything? They're lucky she isn't still having PMS!

15. I heard about another relevant Fox poll
They polled doctors to ask how many of them thought
that cigarettes were worse for people's health than
biting down on a cyanide capsule. The results of the poll:
Fox found that 99% of doctors thought that there were
things far more dangerous to your health than smoking.
Didn't know that, huh? didja? huh?

Their polling is scientific like their "reporting" is
fair and balanced. And the sun will rise in the west
tomorrow morning.

24. Maybe Fux should do a poll re McCain's age.
Did you know he was a thousand years and batshit crazy, or something along those lines.
