He has really nice hair.

I train horses and have worked in and around the horse business my whole life. When I was a lot younger, I worked for a well known trainer who once told me, "If somebody asks your opinion of their horse and you just can't think of anything else to say, say it has a pretty tail." From then on, my whole life 'What a nice tail' has been code for a horse that is a piece of shit.

Earlier today one of my customers asked me if there wasn't ANYTHING nice that I could find to say about Romney. I pondered for a minute and said,

"Well, he has really nice hair."

I went to breakfast with my a dear much older friend, a dyed in the wool Reagan/John Wayne loving Republican, who responded to my question about her candidate this way:

He's nice looking. I guess he saved the Olympics. He's been in a lot of different businesses, Obama never has.

I love your code based on the horse tail history.

Yes, Romney, he has very nice hair!

That was always the standard sideways compliment in my youth. "He has a nice personality," left out "but there's so much other stuff I hate."

That he has a full head of hair--to me-- only underscores his "privilege" in life--including the gene pool.

When he says something, anything, you know a backtracking flip-flop is on the way.

Rmoney's hair gets bigger the older he gets. My son looked at me and said "Dad, it's his head, not his hair".

If he ever goes bald, there will be severe damage to the ozone right above his position at the time.
