What is it with right wing women and their penchant for surprise buttsecks? I suppose it gives them credible deniability, but the after-effect stays on their faces for hours.

I think they’re trying too hard to look sincere for the camera–it’s the opposite of “shifty, squinty” eyes.

Or maybe they’re just on drugs.

Hey, if you were married to Newt Gingrich, wouldn’t you poke out your eyes and replace them with fakes?

The problem with Michelle’s eyes are the pupils, IMO. They look like she’s stoned.

Jesus! I just looked at the Gingrich photo. I half expect her next move to be chewing Newt’s head off, literally…

IANAD, however, so this is just my opinion.
