"We should vote for a First Lady and let her husband pretend to run things as President."

Unfortunately (for my stupid wit's sake) Bill Clinton is ruining that line.  But, I think for the sake of fairness, he should have to wear heels and a dress slit up to his thing.

I was making the point that none of us is "perfect," and I do think that the decision to enter into a romantic relationship with someone who is already married to another, as well as using your husband's stature in the government to feed your drug addiction, are indeed relevant examples of imperfection.  So relevant, in fact, that they make mockery of Anderson Cooper's remark and demonstrate in just how many ways it was inappropriate.

For one thing, they demonstrate the absurdity of his basis for proclaiming her "perfect" -- her appearance.  As other comments have noted, this is the definition of shallow.  He's not basing his assessment on personal or professional accomplishments.  Nor is he basing it on apparent character traits or morality.

Compounding the offensive superficiality is his Barbie Doll Bigotry.  I get to see, up close and personal,  the painful effects of this cultural prejudice regarding physical beauty, because I have three daughters -- one of whom is a beautiful black girl and two of whom fit the Barbie Doll mold -- and I see how differently the world treats them.  It's heartbreaking.

I'll make a deal:  I they quit making claims to perfection, I'll quit pointing out personal imperfections to reveal their folly.

Policy imperfections, however, are open game!  ;-)
