She also decided to wear extremely unflattering suits made out of what seems to be long swathes of cobalt fabric. Despite a judgmental American public that seems to favor women of the Laura Bush ilk (heck, even Hillary is showing cleavage on the presidential trail while also wearing an endless string of peach linen pants suits, the likes of which I have never seen in any store), Janet Reno, the daughter of humorless Dutch immigrants, stuck to her guns and kept on wearing really long...
