Cosmetic Surgery Speculation for Candidates Proves to be Gender Indiscriminate
You never had to worry about Dick Cheney getting work done


There was a lil' bit of righteous feminine indignation over from this tent when Huffpost started carrying on about Sarah Palin's lipliner perhaps being of the permanent, cosmetic surgery variety. This is a dangerous road to go down, because it adds more fuel to the RNC's fire that Palin is being discriminated in the press because of her gender, which is an unfair accusation: the real reason Sarah Palin is being discriminated against is because she is terrible. Like, the worst.

But looks like all is fair in love and presidential races: guess which candidate is on the chopping block for perhaps adding a little Botox to his brow:

Do these pictures prove that Joe Biden had a facelift and/or a last minute Botox injection before the big debate? Persnaps…or maybe it was Sarah Palin telling him his dead wife's reward was in heaven that made his eyebrows raise clear off the map.

At any rate, it's nice to see men being placed under the same skin-deep scrutiny as women during this time. Yes, it's insane to base a candidate's qualifications for president or VP on their looks alone, but it's going to factor in at least a little bit so we might as well own up to our national superficiality and judge all the candidates on the work they may or may not have had done. It's not even a new development: Nixon might have won against Kennedy if they hadn't been for that first televised debate.
