"Hillary Clinton is fantastic. But I think it is too soon for her to run. This may sound odd, but a woman should be past her sexuality when she runs. Hillary still has sexual power and I don't think people will accept that. It is too threatening"

1. Sharon Stone is nuts

I've thought this for a long time. She's right, though, it does sound odd. But that's only because she said it.

[JeffR]

2. Hillary? Sexual power?

Not since she started wearing those turquoise pantsuits, IMO.

[HereSince1628]

4. Hmm, Bill doesn't seem to see the same thing.

At least that is apparently what he told Monica.

Go ahead flame me.

[JeffR]

6. LOL

:rofl:

[tocqueville]

3. wrong : if Sharon Stone runs, she'll be elected

my basic instinct says that...

[Olney Blue]

5. That's silly.

[Totally Committed]

7. This is the same Sharon Stone that, in an appearance at the

Shimon Peres Peace Center Opening with Shimon Peres taking questions right there beside her talked about a woman her age loving to get naked in front of the cameras so much. That was her input to talking about Middle East Peace. Poor Shimon looked like he didn't know what to say in response. It made me shudder. She's almost as big a wahoo as Michael Moriarty now.... they should go out together at night and howl at the moon in tandem. She's batsh*t crazy!

Translation: Hillary shouldn't run for a lot of reasons, but her sexual potency has NOTHING to do with it... take the opinion from whence it came.

8. Sharon Stone would know about being past her

sexual power, judging by the horrible reviews of her new movie!

Who cares what this over the hill so called movie star thinks?

I saw her and Phil Bronstein when they were married at Nicks Restaurant in Rockaway Beach, Pacifica. The waitress was compaining about how nasty she was to her and her Diva behavior, she said Phil was really nice. She is such a phony......best she be thinking about her own future as she is no longer a sexpot. I think she is just jealous of Hillary anyway!

[DFW]

9. I disagree

And I've been with Hillary up close enough to have an opinion.
I think that's just rattling off. Hillary will be 61 by the time
of the 2008 election. She's not Sophia Loren, and she is one
extremely smart and engaging person. I think that will not
come across as sexual power, just intellectual power. As a man,
she didn't affect me in any other way at all.

14. good point

people can confuse intellectual power as "sexual power"...maybe even more so in women than in men. It's a certain type of charisma.

So I guess I can't say "BS" entirely to Sharon Stone. But let's not hype this up and call it sexual. There is a charisma about intelligent women that is threatening to insecure people. However in men such as Clinton or Kerry, intelligence is what makes them attractive and is certainly not threatening. (I guess Rightwingers don't look at Condi as having this power then, as they don't seem to view her as threatening).

The statement that "a woman should be 'past her sexuality' when she runs..." has GOT to be one of THE most sexist comments I have EVER heard....?!? Amazing.

[Fridays Child]

10. I see what she's saying.

She needs to be into her elder stateswoman "Madeline Albright" years before she runs. I'm not sure I agree that it should be a consideration but I think that's what she's saying.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Let me get this straight: A man can run for President and exude "sexual

power", say like John F. Kennedy and he'll be elected. If you're a woman, you have wait until you're in the league of Bella Abzug or Shirley Chisholm so your "sexual power" won't be a liability.

Fuckin' double standard and irrelevant comment.

P.S. MENSA, my ass!

[sendero]

12. Sharon Stone..

... couldn't be a more prototypical bimbo if she tried. Honestly, she is a doofus.

[enough already]

13. Whatever the excuse that gets her out of the race is fine with me.

Voting for the war...not being past her sexual power...it's all good. Just get out.

[Green Sleeves]

15. Stone is a loon...

But she has a pretty good tap into the whole human nature barrel.
I don't think she's so far off the mark.

[Freedom_Aflaim]

16. The words sexuality never enter my mind when thinking of Hillary

She's a fine Senator and first lady, but ....well....

I think she IS passed her sexuality

[McCamy Taylor]

17. Say what? Hillary's only sexual power is that fact that Big Dog loves her.

Other than that, she is pretty neuter.

[zulchzulu]

18. I love Sharon and this is as good as any reason for not running Hillary

Yeah, you get the usual "she's nuts..." crap, but she's actually a very engaging person who really is in the grassroots end of the Democratic party.

I met her when she was part of a Women for Kerry tour and on Election Day eve in Madison and she was wonderful. Say all you want about her...if you actually met or knew her, you'd think differently.

[Vidar]

19. WTF?

[d_b]

20. hahahahahahaha.

wtF?

[LittleClarkie]

21. I just got the cold shivers.

IIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O-B-K-B Sharon.

[Generator]

22. This is sexist swill too

But the Condi thread was so much more enjoyable. We gotta take our laughs were we find them.

[MODemocrat]

23. Sharon is so strange; she knows that's nonsense, doesn't she?"

I used to like her and thought she was so beautiful; but lately, seeing her guest on the tv circuit, she just seems like an air-head. :silly:

[Strawman]

24. Whatever nutball

Call me when the shuttle lands. :eyes:

[Frank Cannon]

25. Didn't she try to feed her husband to a komodo dragon?

That woman has a few toys in the attic.

[election_2004]

26. Sharon Stone obviously knows little to nothing about politics

Why Hillary shouldn't run has nothing to do with "sexual power."

Hillary shouldn't run because she will hurt other Democratic candidates running for competitive seats in "red" and "purple" states.
