Lady Gaga: 'Hillary Clinton Has More Important Things To Worry About Than Her Hemline' (VIDEO)

Lady Gaga surprised us today as an interesting, cogent commenter on all things pop culture as a guest on "The View."

Two crucial style stories she sounded off on: Tim Gunn's dig at Hillary Clinton and the now-famous Walmart Bikini Lady, Sandy McMillin.

Ferragamo-clad Gaga swiftly defends Hillary Clinton's clothing choices, calling Gunn a "bully" for his comment about the Secretary of State's "gender confusion." When Whoopi brings up the issue and the ladies start to get all revved up, Gaga dismisses their chatter: "You know, I think Hillary Clinton has more important things to worry about than her hemline."

Check that out in the first clip below.

Whoopi also makes mention of the Walmart bikini incident with a laugh, perhaps ready to take a shot at McMillin for her style sense (at 4:42 in the second video).

But as someone with her own highly unconventional fashion choices, Gaga defended the "fabulous" McMillin's choice to wear a string bikini while shopping in an Oregon Walmart, saying, "I would go to the store like that. I want her phone number."

Now that would be an interesting pair.

I suspect Hillary does not need anyone to stand up for her.

Paws up.

Even for the haters. They were born that way too.

Here's a saying I heard a looong time ago about the music biz: ""If ya can't be good, be weird."

If Lady Gaga wore a t-shirt and jeans all the time, a boring hairstyle, minimal make up, and sat at the piano for the majority of her music career, half of these disparing comments wouldn't exist.

So caught up in the exterior and it's pathetic to watch. No one here is evolved enough to fathom that she is a three dimensional person and what she wears and sings about don't jepordize her intelligence or talent.
When did people get so dim?

Lady is so desperate! Now she is politically correct to grab more fans and attention. Where is the shock value? The audacity? She is becoming boring and contrived...

I think it is a great comment. It really does show that she was considering the big picture and not just what Clinton wears.

If I were Hillary, I'd tell Lady Blah-blah: Don't help me.

Absolutly fascinating stuff. Those ladies really break a topic down and come up with brilliance. Bravo! If your ICON co hosts on the view, your ICON is not cool at all.

Gaga needs to further promote gay rights, not worrying about what Hillary wears. :) I do enjoy both of these women, not so much that WalMart girl.

If you had half the smarts that that "circus act' has, I'd faint immediately.

For those interested in a unique Gaga interview, check this one out with Nardwuar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml5j-C0UVXg

Just a little info about Nardwuar, he's a musician/music personality from Vancouver who does an unreal amount of homework on his subjects before he meets them.

The doddering ol' girl sure did mangle that one, didn't she?

Career-wise, she's at least 4 years into overtime.

Yes she does; like Bosnian sniper fire, hacking the vote in New Hampshire, and affecting a phony Southern accent whenever giving speeches down south.

Sounds like a Tea Party parallel universe scenario to me. You okay back there?

Get over it.
She has been a superior Secretary of State.
