During TNR's roundtable on the Edwards selection, Jonathan Chait wrote:
Let me raise another point. I find it noteworthy that Edwards is frequently described as "handsome." It's kind of a slur--it suggests he's shallow, what Seinfeld would call a "mimbo." The interesting thing is that George W. Bush, who is a very handsome man, is almost never described as handsome. I'm not trying to suggest that Edwards's handsomeness is a net detriment to his career--surely the opposite is true--just that there is a downside in having that fact be pointed out so often that it becomes the only thing many people know about you. Bush, who is handsome but rarely described as such, has the best of both worlds.
Isn't the reason that Bush doesn't get pejoratively slapped with "handsome" that he's too busy getting pejoratively slapped with "dumb"? I'd rather be handsome than dumb any day. Luckily, I am both.
As big of an Edwards groupie as I am, I do, actually, have a bit of a worry. Though I'm confident that Edwards would have looked great against Bush in a debate, I'm sort of worried about how he'll look against Cheney. Edwards v. Bush would have been two charismatic guys with modest foreign policy knowledge going at it, and Edwards' speaking ability could have won the day. But against Cheney, there is a real risk of Edwards looking like an uppity kid that just needs a good spanking. I know that he's been brushing up on his foreign policy, and that everyone has listed his activities in the Senate that indicate a lot more foreign policy acumen than he gets credit for. But it's still scary.
Also: Under no circumstances should Edwards allow himself to be interviewed by MTV. He is, by far, the least hip of all candidates involved. When Chris Matthews asked him about his favorite movie, it took him ninety seconds to come up with something, and even then he couldn't remember the name of The Shawshank Redemption. And his favorite book? The DaVinci Code. (The Onion sums up my thoughts on that work of genius here.) The dude hasn't had any time to suck up pop culture, so, if you want to help, just don't ask him about it, okay?
Dude. George W. is not a handsome man. Really.

are you kidding me?? George W. is not "handsome"; in fact, he looks just like that monkey, Curious George.

Don't you remember Edward's comments from the primary trail; how he enjoyed beating down all the sneering corporate lawyers in their fancy suits, while he was defending ordinary people? He's going to eat Cheney's lunch! Let's get it on!

Besides the political *us'es* of the world, does anyone care about the VP debate? At all?
GW is handsome in a cowboy who married a librarian kinda way, Edwards in that "Cheney's word on the floor" kind of way...
Posted by: Jennifer | July 16, 2004 at 06:17 AM
ummm nah... not really intested in the debate. i'm all about 60 y/o+ men!

Is a debate with Cheney even possible?
Edwards: Under the Kerry healthcare plan, Americans save $1000 a year. Under the Bush plan, they pay an extra $500.
Cheney: No they don't.
Edwards: Um, but actually, see, they do.
Cheney: Uh, that's not correct. You're not privy to all of the information.
Edwards: Well, going off your facts and figures, it's true.
Cheney: No, it isn't.
Edwards (pulling out big graphs): But right here it sa--
Cheney: Go fuck yourself.
Jim Lehrer: Ok, gentlemen, now let's move on to international affairs...

yeh, gwb is NOT handsome. at all.
and the fact is that edwards, while not equal to cheney in foreign policy, is a damn sight more charismatic.
oh, and he has that whole trial lawyer thing going for him with the actual *debate* part of the debate. i put my trust in edwards.

W. is only handsome as compared to his parents. In the general population -- no. Edwards on the other hand, could be portrayed in a made-for-TV movie by Shaun Cassidy. I think Edwards will carry the "34-40 year-old women who used to have a poster of the Hardy Boys" category pretty handily.
Lucky for us he's the best candidate as well.

You know, not two days ago I was trying to remember who played Joe Hardy to Parker Stevenson's Frank. Now I know. Thank you, Christine. Thank you.
