Every President in my life-time a pretty boy, save Tricky Dick. Anyone who thinks they would be a good President lacks there.

Ronald Reagan? Hardly pretty. Bush? Either of them?

Well, Reagan was a moobie star. Hey, I didn't invent Bonzo.

See, there are different ways that men are 'attractive' too. Nobody would give either bushie the time of day if they weren't 'who they are.'

Sort of like Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger. Or not.

The Palins of the planet take women backwards. I don't care what her reasons are: she's like the supposed patriotic fools who parade around denouncing anything that is actually good for our country in favor of what is actually good only for them.

I'd call it treason, but that might be slightly hyperbolic.

I know an intelligent woman who though Bush II was hot. She hated his politics, but really found him attractive. Go figure.

I worked with a R political consultant once, who said that in order to be successful, women must be good looking enough for the man to think she could be in his wheelhouse, but not so good looking that another woman believes she would be a threat.

You can complain about this, but you can't fight it; that there is retail politics at its core.

And Sarah Palin was successful in man-centric Alaska but not in the lower 49 states.

Similarly a man must have a certain look but not be TOO good looking. He should be in the 6-7 range. Even if he was the most brilliant policy thinker, George Costanza cannot be President and George Clooney is also ineligible.

I'm not in politics for that very reason: I'm just too damn good-looking. Oh, and the cocoa puffs thing.


Or the fact that dishonesty makes me sick to my stomach.

Some of the other people portayed in the movie were saying it was fairly accurate, Palin really was that stupid.

Joe Biden once said that when the stock market crashed in 1929 President Franklin Roosevelt went on TV to address the American people, too bad Herbert Hoover was President at the time and there was no TV in FDR's day.

Woody Harrelson's character - Steve Schmidt - says the movie is spot-on... but he works for MSNBC now, so anyone who likes palin can pretend like that discounts him if you like.
