I find these patterns quite interesting.
I have noticed it too, the "Karl Rove" look seems to be popular in D.C. and among the New York media. Truly, if a man with a haircut and glasses like this guy has showed up around here folks would stare at his strange look.
Even the females in the room we were watching from totally agreed.☺ Then they broke for some other news story and the reporter had the same exact thing going on. He had the face of a spoiled 12 year old with an adult sized body. Just bizarre.
