this ridiculous flier, making its rounds on facebook and on blogs, is funny for a number of reasons , but mostly because it's so clear that the creators just found the most flattering pictures they could of the republicans, and the most unflattering pictures they could of the democrats. look how unflattering of a picture they had to find of hillary clinton to attempt to make the quite absurd point that she is uglier than ann coulter. hardly anyone is uglier than ann coulter, let alone hillary clinton, who is fairly conventionally pretty. ann coulter has to hide behind sheets of greasy, ratty hair to appear at all unlike lurch from the addams family.

and laura bush is just mousy with an unfortunate haircut/face combination. i think this is the first instance of someone claiming she is hot.

also, give nancy pelosi a break. she looks completely normal. she's just making a face.

i considered wasting my time making a rebuttal about how democratic men are much hotter than republican men (john edwards! swoon. also, dennis kucinich is still my little alien-crush)--a rebuttal against the republican nitwits who made that flier, and a rebuttal against the notion that female politicians and politically involved people are judged for their appearances whereas men are not--but i have other things to do. so someone else do it.
