In reply to the discussion: I've tired of this cliche: "Romney looks like a president" [View all]UTUSN
(70,694 posts)and after the thrill was gone, the Hebrews were said not to apply that criterion again. Besides, what the previous poster said about his mannequin looks is it. He's creepy looking. When he played at doing the wreath ceremony in Poland it was one scary scene, like a funeral director (sorry to all funeral directors). Having to see that for four years ought to give pause to anybody thinking of pulling that lever (anachronism here).
My impression is that Mormons are really "in" to theatrics and the outward appearace of things -- show biz, think the OSMONDS. There was this Mormon bishop who was a public high school teacher and he just threw himself totally into sponsoring a folkloric dancing club. And when Mittens was running in '08, apparently fever was rampant throughout the church because in my remote locale, the adult males were out in force doing the missionary visits. I'm not talking about the young dudes. I was doing my yard when there came FOUR of these adult males, all in long sleeved white shirts and ties, and all looking like Mittens mannequins, BEAMING and group-thrilled with themselves, apparently thinking they looked good and like what would spread across the country if he won like when Jimmy CARTER won and then there were "New South" dudes with blow dried hairdo(s) everywhere.
They were grinning crazily and asked to talk. I said that I was busy working. They semi-sheepishly took their leave.
