Finally, do you know which local Botox emporium has lost a high-profile client due to the fact that he's got some very big political ambitions and can no longer show up at the clinic incognito!
I wonder if Botox has the side effect of causing a person to lie consistently?
Well, sKerry is looking considerably creepier these days. I'm afraid soon his face is just going to slide completely off.
He was a liar when he wore a younger man's clothes.
If that's the case then Kerry's been getting injections since the day he was born.
How can a neurotoxin -- which Botox is -- injected into tissue, not also affect the brain?
Where is the full medical description of Botox' effects?

A leading neurophysiologist has cautioned that the long-term effects of the "miracle" anti-wrinkle treatment on the brain, nervous system and muscles are as yet unknown.
And Dr Peter Misra pointed out that Botox, a derivative of the deadly botulism toxin, could cause fatal muscular paralysis in its natural form and should be treated with care.
.... If side effects occur, they’re usually temporary starting within the first week, but may persist for several months. The kinds of side effects depend on where Botox is injected. For patients with frown lines, the most common side effects include
headache
respiratory infection
flulike symptoms
droopy eyelids
nausea
Less frequent reactions include facial pain, redness at the injection site, and muscle weakness.

There is a form used for cosmetic purposes, and a form used for neurological disorders such as tics, etc.
You know, I think it might.
Seriously...
Botox paralyzes the facial muscles, changing a person's expressions. This will eliminate the characteristic and unique expressions a person makes when he lies. This means the person can lie without looking like he is telling a lie, even to those closest to him.
You know how wives people can always tell when their husbands are lying? Over the years they develop a finely calibrated knowledge of the husband's expressions and a lie is immediately obvious. This is why only fools lie to their wives. They get caught, always. If she doesn't bust them immediately, it is only because she has reasons of her own.
But with Botox, not even a spouse can detect a lie on that finely smoothed and impassive visage. So now the Botox user can lie with impunity and not get caught, even by those closest to him. This removes the immediate negative reinforcement of being busted each an every time one strays from the truth.
Without this negative reinforcement, can it be expected that the Botox user would lie consistently? Well, if he is a person inclined to lie, the answer is a resounding yes.
So, yes, Botox can have the side effect of causing a person to lie consistently.
Gee.. It sounds like the mechanical processes that keep the lungs clean have been interrupted by Botox.
In nature, some male species have all the luck when it comes to looks. Think about a peacock and a peahen. It's the male who's got that gorgeous train, not the female. And the father of the lion family is the one with the glorious mane. With humans, it doesn't always work that way, but the fact is, guys do care about their looks.
Why shouldn't they? A man who goes to the gym to work out and cares about his clothes and grooming is a man who not only cares about his appearance, but what it says about him personally, as well as in business.
Men are also doing something about their brow lines A man who has pronounced lines between his brows may be perceived as angry or stressed—and he doesn't want to look that way. That's why it's not surprising that men are also choosing BOTOX® Cosmetic, a non-surgical, physician-administered treatment. LINK

John Kerry, peacock. Hmmmm.
You seem to have some experience in lying to a wife. (kidding)
Could this have something to do with the "strange" expressions on sKerry's face during that speech he made at midnight after the end of the RNC convention? (especially the eyes...) Hmmmmm?
Not on Free Republic! Anything more than shaving with a sharp rock while wearing jeans and flannel shirt gets you labeled a metrosexual in need of "gay" counseling! :-)
"Sharp" rock?!?
Weenie!!!
You mean I'm STIL a gay heterophobe for using a sharp rock? Dammit!
