BLITZER: He's 52 years old, the chief justice, John Roberts. And we wish
him a speedy recovery. Dana, thank you very much. I know Dana and our entire
team of reporters working this story. As we get more information, we'll share it
with you here on CNN.
Presidential politics is venturing into new territory all because of
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's attire. Who would have thought we would ever be
talking about a presidential candidates cleavage? Let's go to CNN's Carol
Costello, she is watching the story for us in New York. Why is everyone talking
about this story now? Give our viewers a little sense of the background.
CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: You know, it's just so odd, Wolf. It was the
number one story on The Washington Post Web site for a couple of days. Who knew
showing a little cleavage was a woman's way to say, hey, I'm comfortable with my
sexuality and my intelligence and I'm going to show it off on the Senate floor?
That's either incredibly demeaning, or, as The Washington Post asserts,
sassy.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
COSTELLO (voice-over): The Washington Post calls it an exceptional kind of
flourish. Cleavage Clinton-style on the floor of the Senate caught on C-SPAN.
You might be thinking, let's not go there. But plenty have. It started with
Robin Givhan's article headlined "Hillary Clinton's Tentative Dip Into New
Neckline Territory." Soon just about everyone was going there, from David
Letterman...to YouTubers.
[...]
BLITZER: As you know, Carol, though, a lot of people are making the point
that is very, very different. That this is really sexism.
COSTELLO: Yes. A lot of people are saying that, but Givhan says Clinton's
cleavage is news because it's out of the ordinary and says something about the
way that people want to be perceived.
BLITZER: Carol Costello, thanks very much. Carol is watching that story for
us. We're standing by to get some information on the chief justice, John
Roberts.
CNN: All cleavage, all the time.
