He looks like a god damn fraggle.

Aaaaah his insanely long skinny arm in that photo of him and Romney waving terrifies me!

He is not handsome. He is not well built. He is not smart. By NORMAL people's standards. To Republicans, he's hot.

They are deluded, remember.

Normally, I hate to comment on whether someone is physically attractive or not, but I feel fine saying it when it comes to him--WHY do some people think he's hot? What's the litmus test here?

I look at it this way, he's a dude, so that makes it a good way to keep it balanced, should I ever want to snark on a female politician. But really, it's the narrative that HE tried to set. When he hit the scene, the media was abuzz with the stories of this youngish politican who... omg, he exercised! Somehow that transmuted into, isn't he hot? And then it turns out last year dudebro took these crazy ass pictures.

He reminds me of that Housewives chick, the one with the really low hairline, and the hideous black long hair?

Meanwhile, Obama found himself being found attractive- effortlessly. No beefcake shoots, no posing.

I think the litmus test is Washington DC/Capitol Hill standards. Many people on the hill are too busy working at their desks for legislation than care about their appearances. But the latest trend though among the younger, closer to Gen X members of Congress is P90X, let's jog together, have staff/congressional frisbee and kickball teams on the mall kind of deal. I am not surprised the members of Congress themselves have time for this, the staff not so much since they are working around the clock and do not even have the vanity.

Phyllis and Strummer--that makes a lot of sense. I guess I was thinking by movie star standards. It's true that the look of a potential president (or vice) has been important since at least back when JFK politicizing while not wearing a hat made American men much less likely to wear hats...

And who can forget that drop dead gorgeous fashion model the Rs ran last time? At least that's what I remember hearing Rush Limbaugh thought of her.

I think Paul Ryan has a pretty nice body. Other than that I agree with what everybody has been saying. He looks like the asshole jock in a 80's John Hughes movie.

Oh, and Obama is not even posing or showing off here. He looks DAMN FINE!

I don't think Obama's good-looking -- or remotely attractive. Weird body. Homely face.

Posted: 10/13/12 at 11:54am

Now Nixon, I'd hit that!

[Kad]

Posted: 10/13/12 at 4:21pm

Obama's not my cup of tea, either, but I know plenty of people who would gladly hit that.

Aww, you guys! Ryan cleaned already clean dishes at a soup kitchen. How generous.


No interviews, please. Only pictures.

Ryan stood at the sink and took some large metal pans that did not appear to be dirty, soaped them up and rinsed them

This is one of the greatest lines in the history of journalism.

I'm sure as soon as they were done taking pictures he yelled at the dishwashers,made fun of them, and threw off his apron.

Charity President Unhappy About Paul Ryan Soup Kitchen 'Photo Op'


'Chris Maloney, Ohio communications director for the Romney campaign, said that the visit by Ryan had been intended to highlight the work of the soup kitchen volunteers.'

Yea, right. Lyin' Ryan just wont stop, will he?




'The photo-op they did wasn't even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall.'
