Carmody, I couldn't agree with you more.
Looks mean Nothing. Despite that, too many here have nearly the same hangups on physicality as the freepers Glenn correctly skewers. Being telegenic obviously helps someone get elected and that's real but sad.
Change of subject
Past military service is currently a negative for many progressives. I've read how veterans are different; too authoritarian. That's complete hogwash.
