22. LOL! Yet another reason why the BH is pathetic :)
Edited on Thu May-26-11 05:50 PM by ObamaKerryDem
Reading that article, I felt more like I was reading some right wing slanted version of US Magazine or a tabloid..oh wait, the BH is, for all intents and purposes, a tabloid ragsheet! :thumbsdown:

I do have to admit, however, that I am quite amused how by virtue of this article, they are essentially admitting he is a good looking guy (though they are trying to discredit it in this way). This after nearly a decade (possibly more?) of calling him meanspirited (and stupid, untrue) names like "Herman Munster" and "Lurch", constantly throwing off on his appearance (maybe not the BH specificially, directly, but people of their apparent mindset and overall readership..). And how they are finding themselves in the position of trying to explain away how he looks so good, passing it off on Botox and/or plastic surgery. If they are going to get into physical appearances, why can't they just admit he looks good and decades younger...oh wait, that would be giving a Democrat--and ESPECIALLY JK, who they specifically can't seem to stand-- credit for something, however superficial, so they have to write catty little articles like this one. LAME!

It's also very convenient for them that the "before and after photos" feature a "before" shot that was taken, like many of you have already pointed out, in a very different lighting and setting than the one from this weekend...and, correct me if I am wrong but.., the first one was taken when he not only was campaigning for the Presidency but was also undergoing or had just undergone treatment for cancer?? That would make a difference too, fwiw..

BTW, I loved your responses in the Comments section on the article, karynnj (or at least I think that was you?) :) You have more patience than I, going toe to toe with the Freeper types who tend to be the most frequent BH readers and commenters. You did very well though!
