Sebelius — governor and fashionista

SebeliuswhiteGiven that her running habit keeps her model thin, it should be only a mild surprise that Gov. Kathleen Sebelius will be featured in the February issue of Vogue, which photographed her at the Capitol in gowns by Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera and also in business wear.

“A truly a memorable experience — beautiful clothes right off the runway, lots of folks to fuss with hair and makeup, and I will never look at my office and the Senate Chamber quite the same way without remembering an extraordinary day at the Capitol,” the governor wrote in an e-mail about the photo shoot.

Expect her GOP critics to call it something else.

    What’s that old saying: “Nero fiddled while Rome burned”?

    I’m convinced that having a Governor is a waste of time and money of people who are really concerned about what’s going on, if anything, with our various levels of government.

    Meanwhile, it’s okay for Shrub to pretend to clear brush at his TX hideaway for a photo op . . .

    JWink,

    Then you’d take the same position about whatever job Phill Kline holds, such as AG or now DA, right? After all, he graced the pages of GQ not too long ago.

    What’s good for the goose, ya know?

    All this shows is that she is a politician first and a governor second. Just like any other governor in the U.S.

    yawn

    Besides, the job should have a few perks.

    I don’t know about women leaders, maybe their vanity is in the way.

    On Monday Jan 7th 2008 I will be filing an Impeachment request against Governor Sebelius, AG Morrison, State Treasurer Jenkins, District Judge Harth, and 2 County Attorneys that comprise our District, these comprise our multiple county District. Miami County is Miller and Linn County is Sutherland. I clarified today by call House Speaker Ks. Rep. Neufeld at home, if the State Treasurer falls under an Impeachment authority. It does. I am filing Monday and will keep all posted/updated. Herbert West III, Publisher/Journalist west.herb@yahoo.com

    george sez “I don’t know about women leaders, maybe their vanity is in the way.”

    But we ALL know what body part gets in the way of men leaders.

    I look really good in my gowns by Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera, too. Maybe I’d get invited to a photo shot at the Capitol if I shaved my back.

    F&%k celebrity. I want my elected leaders to not be honest, smart and decisive but rather sexy, funny and charming and if they lie in your face because you are mesmerized by the structure of their jaw line or the great hair-do, you get what you deserve.

    I love my country, can’t say the same about my fellow countrymen.
