Political Glamour
I saw this article over at Hot Air about how Romney spent a pile of money on makeup, of all things. After all the crap the right wing Silky Pony over his hair, it would be hypocritical not to mention it.
But honestly, if we're going to create a culture where the surest way to attain power is through charisma and developing a personality cult, shouldn't we expect this sort of thing? These days I hear more about a candidate's grooming than their actual, practical stance on the issues. I don't mean the high-minded ideological bloviating that happens on the stump either. I want to hear what each candidate would actually do to address problems: real world, practical solutions.
I couldn't care less about Silky's hair (amusing as it is) or Romney's makeovers. I just want someone to propose a plan of action for once.
