PING

[BrooklynGOP]

Yuck.

[demkicker]

Hee Haw, snort, snort....

A metrosexual would NEVER ask his wife to change her name.

[bigfootbob]

A twobagger for sure. One for her and one for him in case her's falls off.

[concerned about politics]

Fugly. No wonder he hides her.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

She looks like a leftie.

[Lady Jag]

Why are her appearances rare?

[cardinal4]

I was flamed massively for commenting on her looks, I felt justified in my comment because she is a doctor who champions late term abortions. That paradox is not lost on me...

[Mo1]

She looks like a leftie

That's what I was thinking

BTW .. has been explained why she doesn't help him campaign?

[boycott]

She ain't gonna win no beauty contests. :>(

[concerned about politics]

Why are her appearances rare? ?

He doesn't want to frighten the voters. Right now, he can use Holloween as political cover.

I like the understated rhetorical style of your humor. :-)

[StriperSniper]

She looks like a leftie.

You mean that angry constipated look until time to put on a big fake smile for the camera?

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

BTW .. has been explained why she doesn't help him campaign?

Maybe he's too conservative for her taste.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

That's the one! LOL

[ladyinred]

LOL! I will just let the rest of the responses speak for me, as most of them do, okay, all of them thus far!

Here is another one that might explain why:

[MissAmericanPie]

She would be the first lady, or a contestant on extreme make over?

[concerned about politics]

Obviously a member of the donky party. It shows.

[Miss Marple]

Dr. Steinberg actually can look pleasant when she smiles. However, a more interesting comment on Dr. Dean is his choice of who he chose to hostess the Governor's conference because his wife doesn't do politics. He chose Susan Bayh, wife of the then-Governor of Indiana, Evan Bayh.

Here is Susan Bayh:

Hmmmm. Gee, why didn't he choose another governor's wife? Got any guesses?

[SunnyUsa]

ROFL

I think 'all' the *****sexuals would distance themselves from her! lol

[proust]

Why are her appearances rare?

because few people have appearances like hers.

Fugly. No wonder he hides her.

Rude, lower class comments from someone who is supposed to be concerned with politics rather than someone's physical appearance. You and your family must be proud.

Dean is Crab People!

[Fzob]

If you were married to Dean would you show your face in public?

[Geezerette]

In that picture, she looks like Chelsea! Those teeth, etc. ... squinty eyes ... isn't he supposed to be a dentist?

[Andyman]

Why are her appearances rare?

Because they are not well done?

[KC_Conspirator]

Mean-faced and clip-haired.

[boycott]

Please do not offer anymore closeups of Judity Steinberg. This board should have a policy regarding this matter.

[af_vet_1981]

At least we know none of those disparaging Judith's looks went to their house of worship today ...

[Hildy]

She's a Dr. who probably never expected to be pushed out into the limelight. Why should her looks matter. I'd love to see the pictures of the Freepers who are attacking her looks. There's enough to get Dean on his own, why must you go after the looks of his wife.

[bray]

She looks alot like the Wicked Witch of NY, before her plastic surgery and hair color. Definately left wing extremist. They look so natural hugging???

Pray for GW and Our Troops

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Why are they in court?

[hgro]

BTW .. has been explained why she doesn't help him campaign?

She is the only one in the family making an honest living. Dad is a bloodsucking politician and sonny is ripping off country club liquor lockers. Legal talent is expensive.

[Never2baCrat]

Because we're honest and it's fun!

Who appointed you mother superior? This thread is all in fun and FYI, anyone commenting on Dean's wife's appearance can still "be concerned with politics."

Psssst.... It is possible for you to look down your nose on fellow FReepers and lecture us all in one post, rather than individually ya know.

[bigfootbob]

More than you can imagine

If you think otherwise, my guess is you have extremely low self esteem. She's a dog!

[albee]

One thing is for sure:

She won't frighten the horses!

Why, you may ask?

Because she looks just like them!

[linn37]

since when does a DR need to be beautiful?

[Miss Marple]

Her looks don't matter to me, since I loather her husband all by himself.

Here's a question to ponder (given my post about Susan Bayh, above):

Is she out of the limeligh because she is busy with her own career, or is she out of the limelight because Dean wants to keep her under wraps?

[af_vet_1981]

If you think otherwise, my guess is you have extremely low self esteem. She's a dog!

What does that make you ?

[af_vet_1981]

Who appointed you mother superior?

Someone you obviously don't know.

It is the type of fun that costs real conservatives elections. With friends like you ...

[GnuHere]

How did they end up married? She must have "family" money.

[Diddle E. Squat]

What a bunch of idiots on this thread.

Think it through, what voting block, more than any other, has thrown races to the Democrats? The women's vote. The gender gap is the single most important factor in the success of Democrats at the ballot box. Now what is one of the easiest ways to tick off a woman, or get her to consider you 'mean': criticize her looks. Well guess what, few women are runway models, and even fewer view themselves as georgeous. So for many women, cheap shots about the looks of a lady who so far has the image of being quiet, hard working, stay in the background, and apolitical is perceived as an attack on their looks, demeanor, and image. I.e., their not good enough, either. Now consider that GOP candidates have often lost the women's vote because many of them in the middle bought into the stereotype of the GOP as 'mean' and 'don't relate to them', and it seems that such cheap catty comments are extremely counterproductive.

And for what, what is gained by ripping on her looks? Its not like his wife is outspoken and on the attack. Why feed old false stereotypes, and risk losing another election for nothing? Why instantly convert for many the presidential race into an emotional battle, instead of a logical one? How much harder is it to reason with someone who has turned the issue into an emotional one?

Apparently stupidity crosses party lines.
