Why Hillary Clinton's Looks Matter

At the White House correspondents' star-studded extravaganza this past weekend, Hollywood comedian Cecily Strong piously browbeat reporters for focusing on Hillary Clinton's looks, pushing the premise that they were a bunch of sexists. It was off-key, for plenty of reasons.

Chris Cillizza of the Washington Post has an interesting rebuttal about why a candidate's looks sometimes matter. He left out one thing, however, something perhaps a female writer such this one might notice: Quite often, Hillary looks noticeably disheveled while on official business, and during her tenure as secretary of state looked downright dirty and unkempt.

If that's her situation, it's a tangible sign she's unable to manage the job as well as present herself as the face of America to foreign nations. Combine it with the fact that she's made significant gaffes while abroad, as well as been seen apparently drunk in public and it's an external reflection of her incompetence.

The only reason I bring it up is that I saw what one of her female predecessors was like: In 2008, I took a trip as a member of the official press delegation with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to Colombia.
