Yet another shitstorm... [View all]

And there's at least one other thread of hyperventilation.

My interpretation of this cartoon, which can barely be fit in edgewise with all the yakking going on over there, is that the lowered viewpoint is a standard convention for artists, photographers and sculptors to show strength and power, not a "crotch shot." The lines on her thighs are simply shadows, not the tops of pantyhose (which, last I heard, don't have tops going down to the knees). I assume everyone here knows about pervs and skeezy upskirt pix taken under the table or with cameras on shoes, and that this ain't it. But, hey you see what you want to see, even if it gives a big hint that you do have a dirty mind after all.

Bernie is tiny simply because at this point in the campaign he is overwhelmed by Hillary, and by "moving left" she will move off the couch and give him some room. I'm not sure about her moving off the couch and squishing Bill, but the point is made that she now outshines whatever there is left of him.

Yes, I am aware that Hillary wears pantsuits, but one would think that a knee-length skirt on a woman, even Hillary, would not cause a stir. Are skirts now verboten? Too girly? On the road to porn? To me, the artist putting her in a skirt emphasizes that a woman has achieved power. I suppose we should be relieved he didn't show her feet in 5" heels.

But, hey, that's just me. Without an agenda.

Anyone else see it this way?
