The last politician to sport a unibrow like that got clobbered by Bush 41, and has since spent his life in obscurity. I think he is now the night manager of an Orange Julius in St. Joseph Missouri.

United we stand, divided we fall?

Eh? No biggie. Botox runneth amuck on Capitol Hill, so what. I hope Santorumf doesn’t mention it, that would smack of chickendove tactics.

Theworldisnotenough on September 19, 2006 at 6:47 PM

I now look at Bobby Casey in a whole new light.
That’s a pretty world class Unibrow he’s sporting.
I don’t know about chickendove tactics. Actually I’m not sure what that means? But Damn I’d use it in a campaign. Look I used to be a Dork just like you so vote for me. He is either going to get votes or his lunch money taken.

What? Casey doesn’t want the support of the Cro-Magnon lobby?

lan astaslem wins the thread. How pathetic are people getting? This guy (or his people) think that giving their guy two eyebrows is supposed to appeal better to voters or something? As obnoxious as the Couric incident was, it was the obvious “women on TV have to be hot” thing in play… But I think we’d all agree that most of the male Senators and Congressmen in Washington aren’t any prize pigs, and fixing a unibrow on Casey doesn’t turn him in to (insert whoever is Hollywood guy chicks obsess over these days).

If I were in charge of such things, I’d seriously consider undorking the guy.

I’m just saying…

Fear the unibrow!

Maybe he’s just trying remain kid friendly?

If he grows a beard he’ll have a bright future in Geico commercials.

Check out Bob Casey’s opponent, Rick Santorum’s, blog.

That’s funny stuff. AP and HotAir get a shout out too :P

SilverStar830 on September 19, 2006 at 8:51 PM

Now that’s High Brow humor.

Kini on September 19, 2006 at 9:29 PM

Naw, he went home shaved his brow and then came back and stood in the exact same spot for a B&W pic.

Just another in a series of embarrassing unforced errors by incompetent liberals.

Oh snap!

(by the way, when people see me say “oh snap!” here and in other threads, I want to make clear that I’m doing it both in a way to acknowledge someone’s zing, as well as mock the lame “oh snap!” phrase.)

No need to browbeat Casey on this. Furrow your brow and come up with another way to attack him. I’ve heard of brow-neyed girl, but this is ridiculous. K that last one was a stretch I know, even made me raise my eyebrow. Brow do I stop myself? Caterpillar!

Well as long as people’s looks are fair game: Santorum was running ads in Pa that featured his children. One of the truly sad facts of life: not all kids are cute, and damn near none of them should be doing commercials. It was particularly cloying as they mouthed some stuff that addressed their, uh, peculiar, schooling finance situation. I’m looking forward to Ricky having his grandma talk about Social Security. With any luck at all she’s in a wheelchair.

Well as long as people’s looks are fair game:

honora, idiotic comments like that is why you libs don’t get much respect from our side. You people are so out of your minds left that you totally miss the issue. This isn’t about what Casey looks like, it’s about being a dishonest and vain douche by photoshopping his eyebrow. Of course everyone here with sense of humor is going to make jokes about the unibrow, but that wasn’t the “issue” here. Just as Couric’s weight wasn’t the “issue” with her scandal. etc. etc. Smarten up.

I thought you had said (promised…) you weren’t going to waste your valuable time on me anymore? That’t the problem with zealots, no discipline. And by the way–take a cursory glance thru this blog and start counting the gratuitous insults thrown at Monica Lewinsky or Teddy Kennedy based on their looks.

Thanks for the softball–you haven’t changed.

RightWinged: I forgot: here’s something for all our friends with a sense of irony. Imagine calling someone a “douche”–good luck with that GED–and then pompously lecturing someone else on the rules of deportment and humor.

I don’t remember “promising” I wasn’t going to waste my time with you, though I shouldn’t. I know I’ve stopped wasting my time on specific threads before though.

But you’ve failed to respond to my comment, so we’re probably done again. You came in to attack people’s looks as if that’s the issue. The issue here, as I said, wasn’t Casey’s looks, the issue was how vain and dishonest this photoshop was.

(maybe you should go look at some clever photos of GWB looking like a chimp to cheer yourself up)
