Agreed re: hotness, but...

...remember that the RW meme against him in 2004 was 'Breck Girl', which was a not-so-subtle feminizing of him as a pretty boy, with all that implies. "Not tough enough for the job" and all that; the same thing they did to Kerry with regard to his Frenchiness, windsurfing and all that.

Thing is, this is what it looks like behind the camera on any photoshoot; just ask Keith. Even Barack Obama with his sexy crew cut is probably sprayed endlessly, and pretty Mitt Romney probably keeps Clairol in business all by his lonesome.

Basically, what I'm saying here is deep meta: as bloggers, we should be contributing to the conversation in a more substantive way than by showing the guy, or anyone in this race, getting their hair done. That's not a personal criticism, rather, it's a call for us not to be sucked into the MSM way of doing things.

Words to live by

...We've gone from first to twelfth in world wages. We've had four years where we have produced no private sector jobs. Most people are working harder for less money than they were making ten years ago.

It is because we are in the grip of a failed economic theory. And this decision you are about to make better be about what kind of economic theory you want, not just people saying I'm going to go fix it but what are we going to do? I think what we have to do is invest in American jobs, American education, control American health care costs, and bring the American people together again.


— Democratic Candidate (later President) Bill Clinton
