[MineralMan]

Or is it just Botox?

2. Yang Sanpaku

From Macrobiotic facial diagnosis. A sign of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers and anyone rageful.

33. We are

4. How could you omit ...

[JustAnotherGen]

5. OkaY it IS funny!

But it's Grave's (hypo) that causes the bug eyes. My fiancés eyes never went back in all the way when his thyroid tanked.

So I just asked him if he was going to Register as a Republican after we get married (he's an Italian citizen) and showed him the picture and instead of getting the joke he says - (big eyes okay :lmao: ) There is ANOTHER crazy lady besides that Jesus one with the brown hair?!?!?!

He's all twitchy now. I told him Callista is her running mate!

[renate]

8. he sounds like a nice laid-back guy

I love that you could tease him like that and instead of taking offense he got worried about there being another Michelle Bachman! Plus he must have the most gorgeous accent!

[Seedersandleechers]

20. You are wrong

Grave's disease is hyperthyroid meaning an overactive thyroid. Underactive thyroid is hypothyroid. With Hypothyroid you do not get that "big eye" as you said.

30. Actually, you can get Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) with Hashi's, too, but it's far less common. n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. There's something "Stepford-like" about them

That picture of CG is particularly disturbing. It's actually almost like she got a hypo of "Joker venom".

[DURHAM D]

9. Barbara Bush suffers from the same disease.

[sarge43]

10. Least we forget. Warning: you may not be able to unsee this

[pangaia]

31. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Shankapotomus]

11. Sometimes they suffer from handshake injuries

19. Nothing a handful of Percocet won't cure

[cthulu2016]

12. Glass houses...

I wouldn't want to enter Nancy Pelosi in a "not looking surprised" contest and I really like Nancy Pelosi.

Bachman probably comes by her manic expression honestly but Calista's appears to be of the surgical variety, like a lot of older women these days.

And my candidate in 2008 (and current VP) has hair plugs, for gosh sakes...

But even given all of that... yeah, a lot of republicans do look unbalanced.

[great white snark]

13. The look reminds me of Madeline Kahn's scene in Blazing Saddles.

It's twue, it's twue!

[pangaia]

32. Oh, Marty Feldman !!!

[southernyankeebelle]

15. Did anyone watch the christmas mass on TV yesterday evening?

Mrs. (plastic face) Gringrich was in the choir. It was at the National Catholic Church in DC. Low and behold when it came time to receive communion Newty Fruity was getting his communion. Plastic face stood out in the crowd because of the fake blonde hair.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. You know I can't stand these women

But making fun of their appearance is just wrong.

[Shankapotomus]

17. :hides head in shame:

i know...

but some of them just conform to the stereotypical spoiled, filthy rich, 1% so ridiculously well it's hard to resist. i mean, callista gingrich looks like cinderella's step .....

...sorry

[noamnety]

22. Thanks

Women's looks always are a target because that seems to be, at the end of the day, what women are most valued for, whether it's us doing it or newt commenting on the first lady's backside.

[Igel]

23. Havings Graves' disease, I'd concur.

Bug eyed and emaciated?

Hey, what's not to make fun of?

Next we can make fun of paraplegics and the melanin-abundant. (We're progressives so we're automatically in a state of grace.)

[gateley]

29. I HAD Graves' disease, ultimately cancer, had my thyroid removed, but I never lost

my sense of humor.

[emilyg]

18. Silly and not necessary post. Merry Xmas.

[appleannie1]

21. Their trance causes that look. It is also why it is impossible for them to think for themselves.

[madokie]

24. Man thats just uugly

can't cover it up either when it comes from the heart like it does on those two. babs tooo, that thought gave me the heegeebeegees

[maximusveritas]

25. There's something strange about the Gingriches

Whenever they do interviews together, it looks like she's his programmed robot and he's watching her carefully to see if she's saying the right words from the script.

[treestar]

26. It's like a forced energy

They are not genuinely smiling, they are making the effort to smile because it is expected. That's how it comes across to me.

[EC]

27. I think it's

xanix or thorazine.

[Quantess]

28. whatever it is, that ain't botox.

Eye lift surgery maybe.

Botox causes relaxation of muscles.

[getdown]

34. Stepford?

[Bonobo]

35. I can't decide of this OP is more juvenile or more sexist...

In either case, it is telling.

Oh, and tasteless and unwelcome.

[demmiblue]

36. A wee bit of both (maybe more). However, I would think mostly uneducated. n/t

[WorseBeforeBetter]

37. Simple-minded.

Greenwald is right.
