• 62. Sorry that these women are not socialites with stylists. At least they are for the most part highly educated and making a difference. Why women and not men for this "story"?

• 63. Although many of these outfits are fine, the one about Helen Roper had me in stitches!

• 64. Shame on you TMZ for mocking the fashion sense of women who do more than drive to starbucks, go shopping at 1 am, and check in and out of rehab. Either tell us about the difference these POSITIVE role models for women of all ages are making or go back to mocking the crap celebs do. You're way out of your league.

• 65. Nothing funny here. Just people, in this case women, working to make a difference. I don't see anything wrong with the clothing. I don't get the joke.

• 66. I definitely agree with the previous comments about TMZ's sexism and racism in this instance. The women TMZ typically covers have way too much time and money on their hands, so their life occupations are shopping and tending to their looks. The legislators covered in this gallery have probably done a few more important things with their time, don'tcha think?

• 67. TMZ, this is the most sexist and tacky post ever. What the heck! Are these professional, elected women suppose to dress like whores & strippers?? Ohh I get it, it is ok to refer to a latina oficial as a house maid and make racist comments regarding an elected black women. Shame on you! This is 2008 not 1960.

• 69. It's nice to see that our trailer parks are being represented in Washington.

• 70. What nonsense. Bashing women in politics for choosing not to wear the clothing of our pop-tart generation? Sad, TMZ. If you are going to go off on fashion, at least make it equal opportunity so men can fail at the game too.

• 71. Wow. This is a shi**y article, no doubt. Racist? Check. Sexist? Check. Worst of all, completely unfunny? Check. You could have at least redeemed yourselves with a laugh here.

• 72. What a racist, sexist piece of junk. Still, it made me very happy to see that not all successful, accomplished women are size zero and think they need stylists.

• 73. Yeah, that cleaning woman joke was racist. Might want to change that. I always feel bad for women in power. Men have it easy - boring suit and tie and no one says anything. Women try to add some color (in many of these cases, way too much color) or find something that's professional and feminine and all they have in stores for older women of a certain size is really ugly clothes.

• 74. So, why are there only females represented? I noticed in the description on the main page, that whoever wrote it stayed away from saying that it was all women, but the pictures clearly depict it. Who cares what clothes they're wearing. If you're gonna pick on political officials, how about that huckabee wants to change the constitution to follow "god's word" or that babies born here won't be automatic American citizens?

• 75. It just shows how women have to fight twice as hard as men to be taken seriously in politics or business, and how much our society judges people on appearance. Wear a blue suit and you get called masculine. Put on a fuschia suit and you get ridiculed. And unfortunately, even for women of wealth and power like these, there just aren't always good options if you are plus sized. Let's look past the exterior and concentrate on what these women are accomplishing, which in many cases is a heck of a lot more than the men!
