I'd wager that better than 90% of the politicans....heck any celebrity..... has a little date with the makeup artist before appearing on news shows or even Oprah or Leno.
So makeup before a TV appearance is "phony" but "botox treatments" are manly? ROFL! Both are part of political life in America today. It's just the way it is.
If this peels off any facade at all, it's the one the reveals your desperation to find something, anything, negative to say about Bush.
Oh, and I'm not voting for Bush this time, BTW. So forget that one before you even start.
