I Will Crush My Opponents

“Your governor’s so fat, when he sits around the house, he sits around the house!”

Am I on to something here, nojo?

It’s a double-wide trailer. Hi di ho. Yes, he is a good speaker, but does he not have a reputation as a union-hating mean fuck?

@mellbell: Dodger wins!

@Dodgerblue: Oh, he’s an asshole, all right. But he’s not like the other assholes, who can easily be dismissed as preaching to the Wingnut Choir. He’s able to sound reasonable, which is what makes him dangerous.

@nojo: Also, he was smart enough not to want to be on the ticket with Mitts.

The president cannot be fat or bald. To be either demonstrates human frailty which is not acceptable. Unlike stupidity or ignorance.

He’s very smart and very dangerous. We can only hope that the US hasn’t reach the tipping point with morbid obesity where the average reaction moves from revulsion to “hey, he’s just like me!”
Luckily, we’re pretty shallow. We haven’t had a really unattractive president since Carter, and even he was thin.

@Mistress Cynica: Jimmy? The hair! The teeth!

The last elected Ugly Preznident was Nixon.

@nojo: The hair and especially the teeth were part of the problem. Bless his heart.

@Mistress Cynica: I vaguely recall Pat Oliphant drawing him as a sunflower.

It’s a lot like running Honey Boo Boo for president – fat is so far down the list of problems it isn’t even relevant.
