Anyone watching Tweety?

What is on Melinda Hennenberger's face? I know this is an odd question and I'm enjoying the conversation between Joan Walsh and her, but that is just odd-looking.

Has she had a skin surgery or something? Anyone know?

1. Ashes; it's Ash Wednesday. nt

2. Jeez I'm dumb and I'm even Catholic.

But, since I rarely go to church anymore, that totally slipped my mind! But, then again, my family didn't really practice that aspect often, anyway.

Thanks!

5. My Mom just called and I asked her why we never did this and she said,

"As Southern Catholics, we were rare back in the day, and if we did this while working or out, people would point and stare, so it got to where no one ever did it."

I guess that answers that.

4. it is one of the larger ash gobsmacks i've seen

[Fawke Em]

6. Yeah, most of what I've seen looks more like a smallish smudge.

7. I can't watch Matthews. He is an irritating loudmouth.

8. They should have said something

It made it hard to concentrate I kept wondering why she didn't have a bandage on.

9. If you turn FOX on you'll probably see ash on Sean Hannity's forehead

It's a miracle his head doesn't burst into flames.

16. Are you sure that's not Santorum smeared on Hannity's dome?

20. Since when is Ash FROTHY?

come on...it would have a Dairy Queen Swirl at the top. Everyone knows its just a popcorn fart.

10. Anyone seen Saint Rick today? He must be covered from head to toe in ashes.

[notadmblnd]

11. wonder if he will wash his face before the debate?

[Fawke Em]

14. LOL!

He probably built a bonfire last night so he could roll in the ashes today.

[Fawke Em]

18. Just saw him and his looks more like the little smudge I'm used to. eom

[grasswire]

12. does Tweety have an ash smudge?

?

[Sheepshank]

13. Isn't there something biblical that talks about walking around in sack cloth and ashes?

Something about piety having to be overtly displayed is just a sign of hypocricy and is simply obnoxious.

[Fawke Em]

15. Yup - Matthew 6:5-6

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

17. Looked to me like she

found some more ashes to rub on before she went on camera. Wanted everyone to know what a good little catholic she is.

Joan looked great.

19. It was a bit much, which is probably why it didn't immediately come to me what it was.

I think I'd have figured out a little smudge, despite totally forgetting it (as mentioned above).

Honestly, I thought she'd had some skin surgery and she was showing effects of a medical burn. I was actually worried about her condition!
