I really don't give a shit that McCain is an old guy with a froglike, bulbous neck. I don't care that Sarah Palin is either a MILF or an ugly crone, depending on what angle she's taken from. That is fucking irrelevant.
You know what? Thousands of photos are taken of the candidates every day. Wanna find some way to make fun of them? You can. Just find that shot when their eyes are half-closed or the shot taken that makes them look fat. Whee! You've done it! They're not pretty! Make your cat macro!
And what have you accomplished? Congratulations! You've helped to further the idea that only good-looking people can be competent or wise! That's a fine thing to do! Thanks to the efforts of folks like you, ugly competent people like Lincoln would never have been elected. Fine work, folks.
Because what's important is not a candidate's judgment, or their ideas, or their voting record, but rather whether they look like they can be trusted. Because we all know that every handsome person is competent, and all those fat, ugly, or old people are lazy and stupid and not to be given important tasks.
Way. To. Go. |
