Agreed. The fact that he commended her on her accomplishments doesn't even help. Actually, it might make it worse, a la "I still can't quite respect you because I don't like your suit." Fail.

The only stronger message about American fashion I wish Ms Clinton would send would be to use her diplomatic power to help improve the terrible working conditions in most of the overseas factories where those clothes are made.

Is it Tim Gunn's job to make hateful comments about gender confusion? I thought it was his job to critique outfits, not gender representation.

yeah, making fun of how people in the industry and dressed by the industry is one thing. But a trans-gender insult on the Secretary of State? Fail.

I LOVE me some Tim Gunn, but this goes beyond the pale. Perhaps instead of talking about Clinton's "gender confusion"(WTF?) with that asshole George Lopez, he could talk about ways women can convey power in a male dominated arenA when they don't have tons of time, are on airplanes constantly and don't travel with a…

WTF Tim Gunn?! As a gay man I'm assuming you have gotten some shit in your life for not conforming to gender expectations. And you turn around and just serve someone else that crap? Sounds like something a Republican would say. For shame. Shame shame shame.

This just goes to show that no matter what you do as a woman, there will always be some assholes willing to reduce you to your physical appearance. They get bonus asshole points for the cankles thing, since it's not something that can be changed easily, if at all.

This disappoints me. I have seen Tim Gunn behave in the most gracious way imaginable like when he visits contestants and their families on Project Runway. No matter how humble the abode, he is always polite, complimentary, and displays impeccable manners. This is just such a stark contrast to the catty bitching about…

I could make a must-be-confused-about-his-gender joke, but that would just be sexist, transphobic and gross.

Of course she should dress likes she's filming 'The Sound of Music'. What better what to be taken seriously as the diplomatic mouthpiece of the United States by National leaders worldwide that to wear a frilly skirt with bobby socks and a flower in your hair?

He's reducing a woman who's worked hard to get where she is——to a position of international regard—-to her alleged cankles and her supposedly frumpy outfits. Just once is all it takes.

Off to Libya with you, Tim, then, since you seem to have all the answers. It'll be your job to tell Qadafi that his choice of sunglasses makes him look fat. Bon voyage!

To be fair, Sec. Clinton is currently filling the same position held by noted fashionistas like Henry Kissinger and Alexander Haig, so to my mind it's only right that she should be held to the same exacting standards.

You nailed it. Not only am I horribly disappointed in Uncle Tim (shocked, shocked! really doesn't begin to cover it) — you don't want to mess with a Scorpio.

Maybe Gunn needs to realize that she's got more important things on her mind than what a couple of second-rate TV 'personalities' think of her clothes. Nothing says "Not getting it" more than a couple of guys yucking it up over treating a former US Senator——who was very popular in that office——and current Secretary of…

i have a great respect for his style and ability to help upcoming designers. I just wish he could send a stronger message that it is what is inside that counts and that even in the prettiest clothes in the world, you can still be an ugly person.
