There is something very charming about how cheaply and how obviously Joe Biden indulges his personal vanities. Surely he knows plastic surgeons and Hair Club type people who could do this stuff quietly and, you know, correctly, but down home Joe from Scranton takes the train home every day! So instead he says, “Oh noes I am losing my hair! I’ll just take these other hairs an’ plug ‘em into my head, in rows, and nobody will know the difference! Here, gimme that glue gun!” and also more recently, “Holy cow my forehead’s a-wrinklin’! Squirt a big heap of that paralytic virus in there and we’ll show America what a real monster looks like!” Now nobody can vote for Barack Obama or Joe Biden, because Joe Biden is a Botox addict. [Washington Post]
i have it on good authority that Cindy McCain is acutally 97% Botox
That’s what I love about Biden - he takes all that grandiosity and obsequiousness with a hint of the smarmy that makes most politicians seem so phony and makes it seem actually somehow authentic.
Who is this “Joe Biden” and why should we care about him? I thought he quit in 1988.
/Truck NUTZ!
He’s the new Gretta Van Susteren.
Could be botox. Could be that Joe is just less surprised the more he runs for office.
Deepthroat: And 3% Xanax.
So That One was trained by the greatest terrorist ever at eight years old, and This One is full of botulinum toxin? God help us all.
The VP with a frozen forehead vs. the VP with a frozen brain - your choice.
On the other hand, regarding the hair plugs, does anyone else think “Trappist Monk” when viewing Joe from behind, or is it just the Catholics?
Deepthroat: She’s actually a mimetic C. botulinum colonial organism
Serolf Divad: Which is the before and after picture? It’s not really self evident.
Deepthroat:
I think the other 3% is facelift. Look at those crazy eyes! Can she even close them anymore?
Hmmm Riden Biden or Nailin Palin?
I haven’t said anything only because it’s awkward, and a little embarrassing.
Botox Addicts…NOT one of the Top 50 Swing Voter Demographics in 2008.

The first time they did a close-up of him at the debate I said “What’s wrong with his face? He looks like Marlon Brando in Teahouse of the August Moon.” Those were some puzzled stares, I tell ya.
Stop it. He’s just well rested.
Who could blame Gaffey Joe? He looks too much like Howard Dean on the left. If it were me, I’d amputate first, but the Botox would be 2nd.
Iggy Plop: You’ll be singing a different tune when he has his breasts enlarged.
The next thing you know he’ll resort to tattooing his lip-liner!
Who cares? If it helps get the li’l old blushin’ ladies to vote for Obama, I have no problem with the man’s cosmetic touch-ups.
Wouldn’t it be great if Berkeley Breathed penned a strip based on this election? It seems a perfect bookend to Bloom County. They had bitters then, too.
I just think being around Hopey makes him feel young again.
And seriously, as Deepthroat: points out, do Republicans really want to play the elective surgery game with that cosmetically enhanced witch Cindy on their side?
I think all politicians should start inserting plates in their lips, adding metal rings around their necks, and binding their feet to make them even more readily identifiable on the street as the potentially toxic substances they are. Practice safe politics!
Cindy.McCain.
SayItWithWookies: Because who, except for those of us who played the mayor of the village in a high-school production of it, remembers “Teahouse of the August Moon” ?
They say hair plugs, we say lip-liner tattoos. They say Ayers, we say Liddy. They say Wright, we say Hagee. They say ACORN, we say WALNUTS! We’ve got it covered.
That guy on the left looks suspiciously like Ron Paul. Just sayin’.
Am I the only one who thinks he looks better in the ‘before’ photo?
“Botox Addict” is a term better suited to Nicole Kidman.
The polar bear pin Palin’s wearing at a Pennsylvania rally this afternoon is much worse than Biden’s botox.
The Station Manager: Palin will accuse Joe Biden of harboring biological weapons of mass destruction in his forehead.
HeyHey: Wow. A polar bear pin from the woman who opposed their protection. I guess she wears it in the same manner as she’d wear an embroidered moose sweater. Sort of a shout out to animals she’d like to kill.
I’d hit it.
he injects what he wants, i smoke what i want. deal? deal.
Servo: Hey, Botox is no longer just for old ladies, as that ancient Jib-Jab flash movie on Kerry vs. Bush carefully explains.
say it ain’t so joe
Are you fucking kidding me? Three words: John McCain’s forehead. It’s a friggin Botox farm up there.
I think he looks pretty.
Hey, Botox was the only thing keeping John Kerry from looking like that mask from “Scream”.
obfuscator: Yeah, he’s as orange and fake as Charlie Crist in photo 2. I like how elderly men are still (even in this day and age) are allowed to mature with dignity. So I give Joe a ‘fail’ on this one. Suck it up and be a man, Joe. Plastic surgery and chemicals is for the wymmenz.
I still plan on voting for you, but it’s not a looks-based vote in your case.
Jesus, he’s starting to look like a thin Fred Thompson in that picture on the right. Bleh. Botox isn’t so horrific if used sparingly. I’m afraid Joe bought the ten-punch card for Botox and then decided to utilize all the syringes at once.
terrorist botox!
obfuscator: Was thinking the same thing. Why do people do this to themselves?
He Botoxed his scowl away.
