The resemblance to something you might find stuck up an ass is remarkable. ---

I don’t know about a thumb, but his face screams, “punch me.” Seriously, he’s the sort of guy that you might just cross the street to punch him in the face on principle. ---

The thing that Gaetz me about his face is that his mouth appears to be put on upside down.

I believe that the prevailing wisdom is that Gaetz looks like Butthead. [![](https://i.ibb.co/PhWKtDs/835560-EE-81-BA-451-C-A99-F-79-B5-E418-C521.png) ](https://i.ibb.co/PhWKtDs/835560-EE-81-BA-451-C-A99-F-79-B5-E418-C521.png) ---

> [@mordecaiB](#): > > Also, this guy criticizing someone’s looks shows a total lack of self awareness. Just because you can pay underage girls to have sex with you, doesn’t mean they think you are attractive. I’ve always thought that there was a certain segment of the Evangelical Christian movement that seems to think “Super-coifed hair” == “attractive”. Look at their ministers. Most of them have their hair styled right down to the last hair. This seems to rub off on a lot of their followers. ---
