Why does Ann Althouse hate breasts?

I wouldn't have thought she was the type, but leaping into the competition in "tits for hits" sweeps week, Ann Althouse fixates on breasts, especially Jessica's breasts.

Now I really don't have a dog in this fight. I only read either of them occassionally and although I certainly support women's rights, I don't post on feminist issues. The feminist bloggers are doing just fine without my help.

But I couldn't resist weighing into Ann's comments. It's a long thread, so here's what I said.
I got news for you folks. Every woman has breasts. There's no law that says a left wing feminist isn't allowed to show and use hers as she sees fit. And 80% of the top right wing blogs feature "chicks with tits" stretching out anti-left tshirts. It's not like its an isolated phenomenon worth making a fuss over.

Jessica is not exploiting her body to sell her point of view. You want to talk about using your breasts instead of your brains, let's talk about Atlas Shrug's soft porn vlogs. Speaking of which, I find it curious that Steve H was here five times and didn't mention Atlas Jugs or the boob-a-thon he's currently running at his place. Funny, I thought I was joking when I said it was tits for hits sweeps week on this side of the fence.

You want to criticize Jessica's politics fine, but using Jessica's feminism to browbeat her about her support of Clinton, whom you obviously loathe, is just a cheap shot and should be beneath you Ann.
Of course, I couldn't resist my own cheap shot at Steve H. I'm still mad at him for making me look like a bitch at his place. That conceited parrot fondler didn't even link to me in his nasty little post.

UPDATE: It's worse than I thought. Having read a few more comments it becomes clear to me that the underlying premise of Ann's argument, and those who support her view, is you're not allowed to be a feminist if you support Clinton because Clinton singlehandedly destroyed feminism by getting a blow job. Does anybody seriously believe there's more than two high level politicians who have not received at least one sexual favor from some starry eyed political groupie in all of DC?

I don't get how otherwise intelligent people can possibly make that leap past logic. I mean, a blow job is obscene, an unforgiveable sin... but some poor soldier who gets his dick blown off to defend a president's lie in Iraq is not? How could there even be a question about which lie is worse or more unforgiveable?
