Actually, the left just never made it out of seventh grade

Cheri Pierson Yecke has some interesting comments on the left's propensity to attack the appearance of those with whom they disagree:

Consider the criticisms of the president's new nominee to the Supreme Court. John Roberts has impeccable legal credentials, so what can the pundits attack? Why, the clothing of his wife and children, of course. A fashion maven in the Washington Post looked down her nose and mocked the family as "a trio of Easter eggs, a handful of Jelly Bellies, three little Necco wafers." They were then duly admonished with a sniff: "Please select all attire from the commonly accepted styles of this century."

Condoleezza Rice, our dignified secretary of state who started college at age 15 and earned a doctorate in her early 20s, is one of the most powerful women in the world.

Nonetheless, she has been mocked and ridiculed -- not for her intellect or knowledge of international diplomacy, but for her hair. It has been likened to that of June Cleaver, but her critics are not content to stereotype her as a dowdy relic from the supposedly subservient '50s. She has also been criticized as a "dominatrix" who oozes "sex and power" for wearing fashionable boots and a fitted black coat.

Read the whole article from the Star Tribune by clicking on the title above. The author goes on to mention Katherine Harris, Linda Tripp (who had major plastic surgery when she realized how ugly she was - thank you, leftist media) and Star Tribune columnist, Kathy Kersten.

I guess if you can't defend your ideas, you can bully your opponents by showing everyone how unattractive they are. After all, life is not worth living in America if you are not thin and beautiful. So, if you want to get into politics as a conservative woman and you don't look like a supermodel, be sure to armor plate your self-esteem. The "mean girls" on the left are just waiting to take you apart. Fortunately, it is likely that you have matured beyond the seventh grade.

The Left has no class....

Here are a couple of quotes from an article by Tammy Bruce (The Death of Right and Wrong) which show how low the left is willing to stoop to trash someone they don't like. Click on the title to read the whole article.

Robin Givhan wrote in the Washington Post:

"His wife and children stood before the cameras, groomed and glossy in pastel hues like a trio of Easter eggs, a handful of Jelly Bellies, three little Necco wafers. ... Separate the child from the clothes, which do not acknowledge trends, popular culture or the passing of time. They are not classic; they are old-fashioned. These clothes are Old World, old money. ..."

From Tammy Bruce:

"In other words, the Roberts children should have been dressed in GAP clothes, preferably with a piercing of one body part or another. While Josie, their daughter, would have been more appropriate in a pair of low-rider jeans which make refrigerator-repairmen out of little girls."

Gavhin had to deride how John Roberts' wife and children were dressed for the very special announcement about their husband and father being nominated to the Supreme Court?!? I don't know about everyone else, but it was common for my kids and the kids of my friends to be dressed just like those two kids for special occasions like Easter and weddings. People actually still put their little girls in smocked dresses and their little boys in suits with short pants when they want them dressed nicely.

Honestly, I think these kinds of writers have no idea that most of America is not like them.
