...It seems that even intelligent and influential and achieving women do not know how to dress or even make up for the television camera. A couple of years ago, TV women wore their skirts so short that while interviewing an impeccably dressed man, they spent their time yanking at their skirts, hoping to cover another yard of fleshy thigh.. As recently as last year, TV women were hacking off their hair like school girls, wearing it jagged and flipped up at the ends. Women in their forties looked like they needed a backpack for their books on their backs.

      And now we have the brilliant and knowledgeable Nancy Pelosi appearing with a group of men in their usual shirt, tie and sober suits, wearing a flaming red cashmere throw back to front. She looked as if she had just gotten out of bed and wrapped a blanket around herself to get to the photo op on time. Or perhaps she might have been a red blanket case, momentarily released by paramedics so she might attend.  Or maybe she was just pulled from the sea, and someone from Baywatch threw a blanket around her to keep her warm.

     Trust us, Nancy dear, we know you are the Speaker and we can recognize you in a crowd of men. No fashion statements are necessary.
