It was almost a full year ago when the Huffington Post declared Donald Trump’s fledgling candidacy a “sideshow” and announced that any future coverage of Trump would be found under HuffPo’s entertainment section.
It was more than a little awkward in December, then, when Arianna Huffington herself penned a lengthy essay explaining why the presumptive GOP nominee was returning to the site’s news page.
Trump’s hair, though, has been a decades-long sideshow that the press just can’t help but comb through again and again and again. On Thursday, the Washington Post published a compilation of its top 100 descriptions of Trump’s distinctive coiffure.

Three days? It’s not our job to judge how others spend their time but … three days?

We’ll leave it to readers to check out the list themselves. Maybe your description made the list. If not, try harder.

If the Washington Post is taking requests, a compilation of the top 100 descriptions of Hillary Clinton’s distinctive cackle could be just as much fun … or would that be sexist? It’s hard to say. Kevin Drum of the liberal magazine Mother Jones took quite a bit of heat for mentioning her peculiar vocal stylings.

Seriously? Funny how so many of us, male and female,. have NO problem with her voice at all.

Yes, @kdrum it is sexism and immense disrespect for woman who has accomplished way more in her life than you have in yours

if you think it might be sexist, it probably is. (And it's called a stump speech. Bernie and Trump do it, too. Bernie never deviates)

This shit needs to end. Until I see an article about how EVERY MALE POLITICIAN shouts like a crazy person, just stop.

Now tell us what's wrong with her body & her outfits. You know you want to.

Better safe than sexist, that’s our motto. Here are a few approved tweets to assist the Washington Post in kicking off its next list.
Hillary has clearly had voice coaching off this: her voice is deeper, more intimate. #hillaryspeech

Some men will be forced to come to terms with the sound of a powerful woman's voice when Hillary becomes president. https://t.co/u5GUIUtQVh

Is it possible to say Hillary has a formidable voice without being sexist?

If it is sexist to say that #Hillary Clinton's voice makes me want to jam an ice pick into my temple, then I guess I am a sexist!!
