I had a friend in college who was a model.
She was also like the perfect Southern Belle (perfect hair, manicures etc). Men would swoon at her feet. But if you ever saw her fresh outta the shower, she was as plain as a white rabbit.

Maureen Dowd would come to such a conclusion, because she is of the leftist mindset. Her ilk feeds their friends, and starves their enemies, just like Stalin.
Normal thinking people treat everyone on an equal basis, and treat them according to their actions and not their looks.
The left discriminates in every area of life, and persecution of the non pretty people in grade school is where their leftist mania takes root.
The left is better than the rest of us, they deride and degrade all those that are foolish enough to fall to their mania, then they profess to be the saviors of those hopeless people they created through years of ceaseless torment.

All this political correctness is making me ill.Did you read the article? The author is suggesting that employers discriminate against ugly people, because they're likley to be less intelligent. If you think that's politically correct, you've got another thing coming to you.

Here's the founder #1 and full member of the Rolling Stones until his passing in 1985 at 47, who was deemed to be too ugly (by their first Svengali manager Andrew 'Loog' Oldham) to appear in photogrphs and in official band credits.
(No, not the guy in the background who only became ugly later in life!)

Too bad I never got a chance to see it. But if I were one of them I'd run if they do it.
