56. Not sure how to respond

to this since so many thoughts run through my mind. But, have to say the first thought is "tacky". I read an article in the Washington Post, that said "liberals" are making a big deal out of this picture and that it wasn't that big of a deal. WRONG.

As one who was born and raised in the Deep South, you can bet your shiney ass that there are many southern, conservative, GOP women, "whispering" about how "un-ladylike" this is. Can you imagine Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, or Hillary Clinton sitting like this? I couldn't even see the Bush twins doing it.

And not to mention how unprofessional it looks. I strongly believe the way one carries themself is a true testament to their moral code. Have a little class for pete's sake, Kellyanne.

Maybe on a Friday night, at home, while eating pizza and watching a movie, but here, in this setting. Um, No.
