Sorry, folks, feeling devilish! Check out the blue contacts on NYT page 1

It was reported here last night that Dana Milbank is saying that the eye effect comes from Roberts's blue-tinted contacts.

6. LOL

I've worn green-tinted contacts for 20 years. ;)

[DeepModem Mom]

11. Oops -- sorry, ohio_liberal: I'll delete my post, with a bow to you!

;-)

12. No, don't do that

I'm not offended. We all have our little vanities. :)

[DeepModem Mom]

13. No, no, I insist!

4. Raises the question: what's underneath the contacts?

9. Only his hairdresser knows for sure

5. Another Rovian boo-boo? or Karen's oops?

I have a feeling Bushco wanted him to wear the blue contacts, but he wasn't quite used to them? Just a hunch. His eyes looked really irritated. Wonder if that will disappear today after some eye drops and removal of the contacts.

7. Looks like they need cleaned

Ew. He's got the serious red eye. Makes my eyes water from here.

8. they're just a (not so) subliminal message to his Aryan brothers (nt)

10. Here is a pic of one of his kids that I found....

14. He's blinking alot more today....really annoying!

Damn, Rove's reading DU, isn't he :rofl:

[Robb]

15. Looks like he's singin'

"Aaaaaaaaaah ... vey Ma-riiiiiiiiiiii-aaaaaaaaaaaa!! :D

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. What's weird is that on my tv they look like a muddy brown until the close

shots. Then they look like the eyes of the Children of the Damned.

[EnfantTerrible]

19. Anyone have any pics of him

from a few years back? That would answer the question of this being a Bushco request.

20. I wonder if he's wearing hard contacts

My son had to wear them in his teenage years so his eye shape wouldn't change, that's what the eye doctor told us. It was the most miserable 2 yrs for him and it did affect his look with blood shot eyes and strained forehead. He hated them. He was able to switch to soft contacts and the "look" disappeared.

21. That's a possibility, OVC --

someone in our family has to wear hard contacts because of the nature of her vision problem, and they were much harder to adjust to than the soft lenses.
