Tim Gunn Thinks Hillary Clinton Is ‘Confused About Her Gender’

Tim Gunn has never been one to pull punches, so we shouldn’t be surprised that when he showed up for a taping of George Lopez Tonight, he came armed with lots of barbs about Snooki, the way women dress in general — and a word or two about the Secretary of State’s much-reviled pantsuits.

Gunn sat down with Lopez earlier this week to talk about his new movie (yes, he’s in that feature-length CGI version of The Smurfs) and he talked about everyone from Michelle Bachmann to Sofia Vergara. But his comments about Hillary Clinton (and her trademark pantsuits) stopped the audience dead in its laugh track.

“She’s the secretary of state, she’s the former senator from New York, she’s the former first lady. Why must she dress that way? I thinks she’s confused about her gender. All these big baggy menswear tailored pantsuits. George, I’m really serious.

I have great respect for her intellect and for her tenacity, and for what she does for our country in her governmental role. I just wish she could send a stronger message about American fashion.”

And, you know, we can see that. But we can also see that when you’re doing things like trying to assuage India’s doubts about America’s commitment to its counter-terrorism efforts, maybe what you put on your back isn’t he first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning.

But to be completely fair, she does wear some pretty bad suits. Gunn starts in on them around the 5:45 mark below, but if you’ve got a 10 minutes, we’d suggest watching the whole thing.

    i think he is jealous of women in power… insulting anna and hilary. i can’t believe he is applying gender standards.  i use to go to parsons and left. i hated it, the most entitled people ever run that school.

  • livin out loud

    No, he loves fashion, and she does look bad most of the time..But in her defense, I think she knows she’ll get treated “equally”  haha, if she dresses more in suits; maybe Tim ought to pick them out for her..haha..peace

    Jealous of women in power? Give me a break! You liberals say the meanest things bout conservatives. You have fantasies about raping Sarah Palin, you made documentaries about killing GWB, you celebrate when a conservative gets cancer, and when one of your own liberals has a moment of truth and tells it like it is about Hillary Clinton, you say he’s mean? Really? If the shoe fits, wear it.

    Typical man, nothing new, he with his penis as do most of them. No thoughts of how inteligent a woman might be, its all about how the woman looks. If the woman is not up to the mans expectation, ah what the hey, lets insult & belittle her instead.

    What a jerk!  If Hillary lived a vapid and useless life like him, she’d have all the time in the world to dress fashionably.  For a gay man to question a woman’s sexuality for dressing modestly is disgusting.   He needs to stop doing interviews, I used to like his show, now I can’t get past his rudeness.

    Yup.  She badly needs advice from all the little “men” out there.  Who must attempt to prove their “masculinity” each & every day.  Mostly to themselves.   Both terrified & jealous of…women.  Yup.

    Anybody who wears a stripe suit with a “clown shirt” should not be giving fashion advice.

    She wears pants suits because she has fat legs. I don’t blame her.

  • Suzanne

    What she wears doesn’t matter. What she does, says and accomplishes is what matters, and she’s a pretty impressive person. We wouldn’t be having this conversation about a man. Jeeze louise, people!

    In Tim’s world, fashion is EVERYTHING. Small world.

    She wears pants to cover up chubby legs. If she didn’t, people would probably be making fun of her legs instead of her pantsuits.

     Hysterical!
    Who would have thought that George Lopez and Tim Gunn were kindred
    spirits?

    Not very tactfully put, but true, and I agree. You go with your best assets and keep your cankles under wraps lest little people like Mr. Gunn deride you for body parts you can’t do a thing about.

    Hello, Hillary Clinton’s job isn’t to “send a stronger message about American fashion,” Mr. Gunn! She is an accomplished and intelligent person who is trying to keep the world’s countries talking to each other ratherr than bombing each other into oblivion. Must she also be a fashion icon while she’s at it? Are men ever held up to this standard? No, they are not. Pick on someone in the fashion industry who IS supposed to show up for work looking like someone we are all supposed to dress like because we cannot think for ourselves. Jeez, what a dopey comment. Stay outta Hillary’s closet! (Insert gay-related “closet” joke here, tea partiers, Hillary haters and homophobes.)

    I agree with Tim.  I’ve been meaning to former Secretary of State Madeline Albright’s book about her brooches.  Several have very interesting stories, and how they made very pointed messages to both allies and enemies… you should google them and see how fashion definitely affect important state  matters.

    You’re fulla shit. Every time a woman gets criticized, some bitch comes outta the woodwork and hollers sexism.
