Has Scott Brown got you down? Its usually hush-hush about politics around here, but we're about to break it out.

Gay Icon of the Week: Jill Biden’s Stripper Boots
Why: It was January 20th, 2009, when we really knew why we voted the way we did…
...Bling We Can Believe In!
Just as the First Lady loves to halve any blouse with a belt (ahem), Dr. Biden loves to work it with her boots. And last January, it was obvious that what Jill strutted out to the Inauguration would've simply kicked the ass of any of Todd Palin's knock-off Timberland's. I'm sure that her handlers would like to create a nice narrative that Dr. Biden put a lot of thought into what she would be wearing to the Administration's debut, but something tells me that these things were already lying beside the nightstand from the night before. Zip it up girl and let's go.
Do They Rise to Icon Level? Yeah, not just on a fierce scale, but also a political level that really makes a difference in the lives of so many. If you're going to inspire the nation to pull itself up by their bootstraps, why not do so in a fabulous pair of Jimmy Choo's?
Jill Biden's stripper boots are also an homage to working women everywear, and a special reminder of the girls who have to work it out for their dollar. I get a little tearful when Jill's boots make me think of all those other stripper boots scratched up from too much pole work, or sticky and stained from drinks spilled by ungrateful patrons. Or this pair, which seems to be ultra-lost in a cornfield and getting nowhere fast (good luck with that):
Jill Biden's Stripper Boots are both fashionable and functional, just like Dr. Biden herself. Not only is she the hot arm candy of the Vice President at diplomatic dinners and foreign funerals, she brings home the bacon to the Naval Observatory as well. As a professor at Northern Virginia Community College, Dr. Biden is the first "Second Lady" to hold down an outside job on top of her official duties. That makes us proud that this cougar is prowling campus in six-inch heels.
Once those boots set foot in the White House, one thing was clear: stripper boots have respect and representation now. Stripper boots have literally landed on the world stage. The power is immense.
Further Evidence: One picture sums it up. Lynne Cheney and Dr. Biden: What Should’ve Never Been vs. All Up In Here Now and FABULOUS:
Start walkin’. You've reached gay icon status.
God loves a cheerful giver.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is awesome! Libby may have used up all my exclamation points, however. MORE please!!
i'm still too mesmerized by the video to actually read the article
That "muddy boots" video is a reason why straights should not be allowed to marry. Poor, depraved people.
Best GIOW yet! Jill Biden for President!
I mean, I've forever had a crush on Jill Biden. She brings TEH HOTTNESS.
Are they flagging down the Rock of Love Bus in that last photo there?
Is that Mud boot video lady Gaga's latest?
After reading this, I am mounting a campaign to make Jill Biden's stripper boots OFFICIALLY a gay icon. I love her so much more now.
Ashley from Rock of Love Bus for the presidency, 2012, Julian. We're there.
Let me tell you something, Jill Biden is one classy lady. Joe Biden knows classy ladies, and when Joe Biden says that Jill Biden is a classy lady, well fella, that's the God's truth. What am I talking about here. I'm talking about Jill Biden.
Heck, I thank God everyday that I wake up each morning to such a classy, foxy broad. I'd take Amtrak every day to the Moon if I could just to see that woman zip up those boots. Classy lady, that woman. And those boots! Wow, those are something...aren't they? Jill Biden and those boots. God bless 'em and God bless Jill Biden.
LOL. Love it! Joe knows.
Ryan...this is hilarious.
What a sexy second lady. Rarr.
Cougar loose in the White House!
Gregg: this *is* official gay icon status.
What a bizarre video
I so watched the SOTU coverage hoping to see if Jill Biden was wearing her stripper boots. They never had a good shot of what she was wearing. CNN FAIL.
