21. Greg Stillson from Stephen King's "The Dead Zone."

"The missiles are flying! HALLELUJAH!"

[Enthusiast]

22. You are right, of course.

But in the Republican world, Big Jim characters are commonplace. For some strange reason GOP/Teabagsters can't seem to recognize these 'types' as undesirables. I guess it takes a special mindset to be a Republican.

10. He doesn't have a hope in hell of being elected.

I'm serious. After fifty years I've figured out the look that is required. I knew that Pawlenty was going nowhere. Perry will go nowhere. I can't explain exactly what it is, but in the age of television and the internet a candidate must have "the look" to be elected (or even selected) president.

So who has the look?

Obama, obviously.
Sarah Palin (I can't stand her but she has the look but she's over)
So does Michele Bachmann although I don't think that she will get the nomination - could be VP nominee though
Mitt Romney has the look

12. did Dubya have it? yeesh, if so, I didn't see it. And he was selected twice.

[yardwork]

15. w did have "the look."

It's not about being handsome or looking intelligent. It has to do with looking stereotypically, comfortably middle American.

Democrats excel at nominating candidates who do NOT have "the look." Kerry didn't have it. Gore was borderline. Dukakis was an example of the opposite of the look. Bill Clinton has it. So does Jimmy Carter.

Looking back, very few presidents lacked "the look." Richard Nixon did not have the look, but then neither did Hubert Humphrey. In fact none of the candidates in 1968 had the look except Robert Kennedy. If he hadn't been assassinated, he would have won on looks alone. The Kennedys totally have the look.

This isn't a good thing. It's horrifying to realize just how shallow people are. But I think it is true.

13. The less I see of that ass-hat the better. Everyone who

has an urge to post his pic, please give a warning. This one I didn't need, but need to say I won't be looking at any anymore.

[RevStPatrick]

14. Well, I do think you were warned...

...after all, the thread title was "In case you needed a photo of Rick Perry..."

:-)

[shraby]

16. I was, but I thought it was a good place to say what I feel

about looking at that thing.

[Scurrilous]

20. I have only been exposed to Ricky for a few days and I already wish to

block him from my mind. There must be something to bring him down!
