		<description>The waist band of that skirt is already right over her &quot;privates&quot;.  So, if she sits down like that, what do you think happens?  Any adjustments would result in over the line exposure.  I don&#039;t care what you look like, that&#039;s indecent.</description>

		<description>So not nice of you! The outfit she wore was only risque because she has a sexy body. I&#039;m not really for the bleached blond fake boob look but you have to admit she has a nice figure. If she was flat chested and weighed 20 more lbs. no one would have said a word to her. Anyway my house cat is very smart, don&#039;t insult him.</description>

		<description>If you&#039;re going to apologize, let it be real.   That&#039;s my beef: The fake apology with the winking and the har-har&#039;s.  Skirt length policy is separate.  

Not apologizing would have been a matter of debate, but a defensible position.  Giving a fake apology is worse than not giving one at all.  Bad form.</description>

		<description>Why should they apologize?  She was dressed as a street walker (and has pretty much replicated that look on the talk shows I&#039;ve surfed by) and clearly has the brains of a house cat.

Now, you can&#039;t throw all the stupid people off airplanes (how would congress-critters gett around?) but you can sure insist on basic decent dress.

Also, if you want to ding people in the 2000&#039;s for stupid stuff they did in the 1970&#039;s then you&#039;d have to take everyone who voted for Carter.....
