What's with powerful women and thick bumpers of bangs?
Drudge is — I think — implicitly asking with this alignment of photographs:

What drives intelligent women to that hairstyle? Are they thinking something like I don't want those feathery bangs...

... or the classic Louise Brooks straight-across look...

... but I can't have my forehead just out there to be gazed at!

What's wrong with foreheads? Is it that the forehead symbolizes the mind, and a woman can't have you looking straight at that? The intelligence must be filtered. There must be a buffer zone of femininity, so there must be some hair veiling the forehead — the theory seems to be. But why the bumper look that we see in the Drudge trio of Angela Merkel, Condoleezza Rice, and Maureen Dowd?

Today's Drudgedy... Drudge comedy.

Eyes... bucks... Not sure what Drudge is driving at here. Some strange coded message to Ohio? And why show the front and not the back of the dollar bill?
Cindy McCain poses glamorously with duct tape over her mouth to symbolize...
... well, what is that supposed to symbolize? I get that she supports same-sex marriage, but what does that have to do with anybody forcibly silencing her? If you have something to say, lady, just say it and quit blaming others. Especially if you insist on blaming others in gorgeous photography with fabulous makeup and a gentle wind machine puffing out your silky white-blond hair.
