Hillary Clinton & Angela Merkel Celebrate Shared Love Of Pantsuits (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 06/07/2011 5:10 pm   Updated: 08/07/2011 5:12 am

Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel celebrated their shared love of pantsuits on Tuesday as the German Chancellor attended a state luncheon with a style-themed gift in tow.

According to a pool report, Merkel gave our S.O.S. a framed copy of a front page of Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper, which showed a glimpse of the two women -- one clad in a purple jacket and black slacks, and one in a fuchsia jacket and black slacks -- alongside the text, "Which one is Merkel and which one is Clinton?"

The other side revealed the answer and brought the yuks.

Take a look.

Hillary Clinton is refreshingly genuine. She has been around for a little while and it shows. It is very nice for our country to have her representation at this juncture.

It's great to see Mme. Secretary and Mrs. Merkel having fun. Reminds me of when my Mom and her sisters get together. Hard to catch your breath when everyone's laughing so much.

Where's the little Dutch boy? Should he not get some credit for their good humor?

Once again reverse discrimination shows it's ugly faces.

Mrs. Clinton is one of the most sexy woman I have seen. (With all my respect).

You have to be kidding. This is news? Two post menopausal women laughing and fawning over their pown pictures? Ok...where is Weiner when you need him?

GaelMc, perhaps one day you will find yourself a part of that post-menopausal secret sorority of women who understand what it takes to present oneself day after day for duty, and I mean hard duty, regardless of personal problems, hot flashes, doctor's appointments, dumb bosses, crises one after another.... where the requirement is not to be fashion symbol but do the job whatever it is...

Perhaps then you will appreciate the value of that pantsuit "uniform" that says I'm here and I'm ready, without having to be concerned with whether the skirt is too short or the necline too low. But more than that, perhaps you will appreciate the delight with which these two sorority sisters recognized each other in instant understanding.

On behalf of one of those post-menopausal women, I thank you.
(I don't wear a pantsuit, (I wear baggy old pants and a long apron to keep the clay and paint off) but if I had to be part of that kind of working world, I would definitely go for comfortable and versatile.

For those two professional women, it's an attractive and comfortable choice.

If Hillary C. were a man, this wouldn't be "news".

There's that North Korean dictator - he wears pant suits and he's in the news all the time.

(Wonder if he's post-menopausal?)

Because, perhaps by chance, while discussing climate change, they both passed wind at the exact same time.

I hope it was by chance anyway. Women who can do that intentionally have no place in my heart, or in my room for that matter.The other's? -It depends.

You have a problem with Human Beings (or just women) laughing?! HOW INCREDIBLY SAD 4U! They are laughing at the article and pictures regarding their love of and wearing of pant suits, which you would KNOW, IF you had read the post before inserting your crude f@rt comment.

That article is on the front page, where it belongs.

There's room for some fun in this world, too. These photos made me smile, and that's joy enough for me.

What ever happened to common sense?

Truth is, ever since Billy Boy enjoyed his little tryst in the Oval Offce with what's her name, Hillary has worn the pants in the family. Pant suits do suit her though...I can't imagine her in a dress or skirt.

Superb photographs.

The only regret is that we were are not gazing at President Clinton along with Chancellor Merkel.

They both look terrific in pantsuits.That style suits them best, and I for one would like to see the first lady in sleek stylish pantsuit every now and then.
