Cleavage story irks Hillary team

Washington, July 28 (AP): Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is insulted by news coverage about her cleavage, but her presidential campaign is not above using the publicity to raise money.

Clinton’s campaign yesterday complained about a story that sparked conversation across the Internet. “Would you believe that The Washington Post wrote a 746-word article on Hillary’s cleavage?” a campaign adviser asked in a fundraising pitch.

“Apparently, it was showing when she gave a speech in the Senate about the skyrocketing cost of higher education. Now, I’ve seen some off-topic press coverage — but talking about body parts? That is grossly inappropriate,” the adviser wrote in the appeal.

The Post story was written by Robin Givhan, who won a Pulitzer Prize last year for criticism of fashion as well as what politicians’ clothing says about their position and power.
