As we've seen with someone like Condoleezza Rice, for a woman in higher office, sexuality is scrutinized as much as policymaking.
Please don't fall (yet again) for the mainstream media's problem of not seeing the news right in front of their collective faces and resorting to tabloid/TV news items and trying to fob them off as "news". Like the story about Condi's workout routine. Regardless of the fact that no other self-respecting Sec of State would encourage such a lame-a$$, lighter-than-light feature about him/herself, the media ate that up just like the rest of the crap the W.H. throws its way.
If a Sec of State is actually engaged in policymaking, most are, that would be news...instead, we have the Harriet Myers-ism of the Sec of State's office, the Barney-ization, if you will, in which Condi is covered much like the W.H. doggies.
This issue is less about sexuality and more about the inanity of today's media coverage.
As far as the Hillary bust goes, you just fell for the museum's PR pitch...
