People are generally more prone to trust a person who is attractive .....

.... Dana Perino is concrete proof why that's not a good thing.

1. It's not working for me - she comes across as unsure of herself and unfamiliar

with the real issues underlying the WH's policies and positions.

5. me either but prolly just what the white house wants though

as I've aged ones actual beauty has very little effect on me anymore, maybe its my eyesight but I like to think its I've grown to recognize what real beauty is, which I'll be the first to admit I don't know what that is but I do know it starts in the heart and works its way ourward. somewhere she at present does not have, a heart.

2. Personally I distrust people who dress in expensive clothing

Where I grew up, the biggest crooks always drove the most expensive cars and wore the nicest clothes.

3. She comes across as a naive bimbo....eyecandy designed to try and deflect the message...

..and it ain't working...

I have eaten meals with higher IQs....

9. No. Why Would I?

She has the IQ of the average quarter-pounder with cheese. Add Fries and you have a higher IQ...

7. I disagree.

During my college dating years, I quickly realized that getting the hotty that everyone else also thinks is a hotty almost always resulted in betrayal . . . or boredom with their vapid, shallow natures. I won't go so far as to make a generalization, but I tend to trust plainer folk. It's like purebred dogs vs. mutts: you might get a good-looking dog with papers, but chances are they're dumb as a bag of hammers, or likely to die of some congenital defect. Mutts ain't pretty, but in my experience they are among the smartest and healthiest dogs.

And Dana Perino is just an elfin puckered anus who isn't fooling anybody.

8. Women are quite used to seeing through the "illusion," yet

are rudely chastised by those men (and some women) who can NOT, that they are just "jealous."


There are some areas of life where the message must be more important than (desire for) the "messenger." Women (or attractive men) who trade on their looks to manipulate do great damage, but no more than those who fall for it.
