Reply #24: Oh yeah that's right! :( All the more reason..

..that these "before" and "after" shots are a rather unfair comparison. Any one of those things (the loss of a parent---JK seemed really close to his mother, so that makes it perhaps even harder, the onset of cancer, and all the duties and pressures that come with the Senate, all the while getting ready to mount/trying to establish a campaign during a time where you were considered a long shot, more or less) would take their toll on a person's physicality by themselves, let alone together! Not that JK looked bad in the pic, but it just stands to reason that he would perhaps look more rejuvenated in a time that is generally, by all accounts better for him, such as right now, though he of course keeps a more active schedule still than most-though it seems that's what makes him happy! :) But I agree with you 100%

And you didn't sound thick to me at all--you handled them with class and FACTS, both things the majority of the crowd that reads BH/frequents its site--and/or the Freepers, who seem to mostly populate the comments section on BH articles, especially when it comes to ones pertaining to JK and Obama--sorely lacks. I thank you for having the wearwithall to do that. I just do not have the patience without breaking out into a full blown flame war..and believe me I've tried on the Obama forum on IMDB.com, for instance. The Freeper types just get under my skin too much! lol :)
