You might as well have this thread shut down now.....the regular thread-jackers are here to trash it (and make personal attacks) as usual.

I find it fascinating that the catty right-wingers are still engaging in this kind of gossipy criticism of Obama's wife even after his term has ended. I mean, I get why they did it when he was in office. There just wasn't all that much to complain about, when it came to the president's personal conduct or the big picture results for the nation, so the harridans had to find something to cluck their tongues about during their coffee klatches. If that had to be the First Lady's wardrobe, oh well. But going back to that well now is just bizarre.
I can't even imagine lefties wasting their time, today, ridiculing Laura Bush for her unpleasant taste in clothes. Who the hell cares? Even when her husband was befouling the Oval Office, to go after his family that way would have seemed like a petty and mean-spirited distraction from the issues, but to keep going after them even after he left office would seem like some sort of mental illness.

What's odd to me is women bragging about the good looks of other women like those other women's good looks are a virtue not an accident of genes and good plastic surgery, and as if their good looks somehow reflect in any way on the good looks or virtue of those who share their political party.
The women I know and admire are those who can appreciate someone's looks without mistaking them for a character reference, and can appreciate the character (or intelligence, or ability to be a good friend, or accomplishments) of other women irrespective of their outward appearance or what clothes they wear or how they do their hair, etc.

I don't have a problem with women calling other women beautiful. It's comparing them with other women and claiming the more beautiful woman (in their eyes) is more virtuous or better or whatever that's the problem. Beauty =/= a better person.
opposite of what your post #24 said

Nope. Read it again.

When I travel, I am struck by how much looks and money tend to go hand-in-hand. I live in a wealthy part of the country. The median home price in my town is over $700,000. And the people here tend to be attractive -- especially the women. But, I think, as a group, their genes are no better than the women I see when I travel down to Florida for vacation, or out to the Dakotas or up to Maine to visit family. Rather, they look nice because of the money.
They do yoga and eat well to avoid getting fat, they dress flatteringly, use understated make-up, and have their hair well-styled. They also have had high-priced dentistry, so their teeth are straight and white. They avoid abusing drugs or smoking, go light on the alcohol, use sunscreen, etc. Some of them probably also get some work done, but I'm betting most of the plastic surgery is of the minor corrective kind, like having ugly moles and skin tags removed, rather than anything that alters their appearance in a big way. Often, if you take a good look at their actual features and bone structure, you see they're nothing special, but they know how to present what they have well, and to preserve it well against age.
Presumably Ivanka is similar -- capped teeth, good wardrobe, professionally done makeup and hair, yoga bod, etc. It appears she also got some reconstructive surgery on her face, but nothing too dramatic.

Utter nonsense. Check out any list of the "most beautiful women in the world" and you'll find a list dominated by liberal women.... quite a few of them, like Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence, Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, and Beyonce being pretty vocal, politically. What's hard to find is a beautiful conservative woman. If you're grading on a curve they've got a few decent ones (e.g., beautiful for a politician's daughter, or beautiful for a news anchor) but when you're looking just for straight up physical beauty, they're not even in the same league.
