From an ongoing discussion in the TWoP boards: But when she [Cuddy] can't even give a basic introduction without stumbling, is helpless to stop House signing her name to documents or illegally experimenting on patients and just accepts his lame excuse as to why he's dropping acid at work (Distractions) or tells Cameron to ignore a possible breach of academic conduction instead of telling her to make a formal appointment to discuss it (Sleeping Dogs Lie) or breaks protocol to let an outsider take charge of a transplant committee meeting (Control)those clothes suggest maybe she slept her way into the job after all.

Bolding mine. The poster in question keeps saying this over and over again.

You will not believe how cool and rational I was in my response.

ETA: I really wanted to say 'Incompetent?' in my best pissed!Michael voice, but that wouldn't make sense to anyone but LFN fans so I gave it up.

the wardrobe people are on serious, serious crack. Lisa Edlestein is a beautiful woman, and Cuddy is a beautiful, professional woman, and they need to stop dressing her either as a floral nightmare or a low-cut blouse wearer.

Bwahaha! That's so true. I'm all for cleavage, mind you, but I often have to wince when I see her clothes, and mutter to myself, 'Who dresses this woman and what do they have against her?'

And the show actually repeatedly makes the point that sexy clothes != incompetent woman (I saw 'Kids' for the first time yesterday. love the 'funbags' discussion, lol!). It *pisses me off* when women accuse women of being a slut for being succesful and sexy.
