The phrase “politics is show business for ugly people” is proven fairly well, as [Rand “Fur Hat” Paul](http://static.powerwall.com/image/powerwall/MDQyMzI3MDk3ODM2MWJmMjY1ODlmZTA1ZTIyOTFlZmQvT3JpZ2luYWwvMzM3MDlfT3JpZ2luYWwuanBn/33709-original.jpg) is on the list. WTF? That’s your idea of an ugly man? I suspect you’re just saying that because you disagree with his politics. Anyway, I think that phrase about politics being show business for ugly people isn’t even true anymore - politics has become so commercialized and superficial that it’s now exactly like show business, and you have to look photogenic/telegenic to “make it”. ---

Don’t like her politics, but [Pam Bondi](http://www.mfi-miami.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/225px-Bondi_bio_photo.jpg), who was recently elected as Florida’s Attorney General is attractive\*. \*She’s actually not my type physically, either, but objectively she’s quite pretty. ---

I watch five hours of political news a night, and it is an endless parade of comb-overs and bad toupees. And [Rand Paul’s](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rand_Paul) is [the worst I’ve ever seen](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/ba/Rand_Paul_at_Louisville_forum_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg/811px-Rand_Paul_at_Louisville_forum_by_Gage_Skidmore.jpg). > [@](#): > > Anyway, I think that phrase about politics being show business for ugly people isn’t even true anymore - politics has become so commercialized and superficial that it’s now exactly like show business, and you have to look photogenic/telegenic to “make it”. Huh? My two favorite members of Congress are[Senator Bernie Sanders](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders) and [Representative Barney Frank](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Frank), two doughy white guys of the type who occupy most of the seats in the Capital.

Not the team I bat for, but I understand that both Carme Chacón and Leire Pajín have their share of fans; honorable mention to Bibiana Aido. Ángeles González-Sinde, on the other hand, is so hated for political reasons and by people on any side of the spectrum that it seems to overwhelm any doability (her nickname is “sindescargas”, “no downloading”). ---
