How Much Botox Does Hillary Use?
From 6/07 Newsmax:
"When she stood before the TV cameras Sunday night during the televised CNN debate between Democrat hopefuls, Hillary Clinton raised a lot of eyes: suddenly the years had melted away and there was a young and flawless looking Mrs. Clinton. You could almost hear what viewers were thinking: did she use botox?"
There are photos that I see over a year ago showing a 60-year old woman, now I see someone with the skin of a 46 year old.
I know . . . I know . . . stick to the issues.
BUT - if you want a topic that will drive the MSM crazy and attract readers like a Michael Jackson story. Run this one.
Show the Before/After photos.
I know that many women out there have had Botox. I have nothing against that. I am not saying it is bad or good. All I am saying is that it will position Obama's opponent as a vain, self-centered, monster (whoops, off the record) and not a real, thoughtful, and professional statesman.

From the Daily Mail:
"When you are running for president, your appearance is scrutinised almost as closely as your policies. So when Hillary Clinton appeared in a television debate looking years younger tongues were soon wagging.
Observers said the 60-year-old appeared youthful and fresh-faced, prompting speculation that she has had Botox injections."

Rich,
You say: "if you want a topic that will drive the MSM crazy and attract readers like a Michael Jackson story. Run this one."
NO! That's not what we want! I think you have been missing the point.
If Hillary uses Botox or not is completely irrelevant AND it should stay irrelevant.

It's something, but It's not Botox.
At debates and top performances, her skin does look amazingly smooth and firm. Glowing and great.
Then, within a day, you see a picture that looks like someone who registered voters when 36 years ago. Fine lines, and small sags. I think she still looks rather grand.
And then, within another day or two, you see another where she looks like she's been on a marathon campaign schedule for more than a year. Deeper lines, more dramatic sags, seriously worn. Even then, a public servant trying to give us her best.
The thing is, it clearly changes, and changes dramatically.
Botox doesn't wear off anything like that quickly.
It's something that lets go in 12 hours or less. Check out TV ads for creams and lotions that smooth and firm as soon as you apply it. It's almost certainly the very best product of that kind.
I'd be fine with a sixty-year-old or a forty-year-old with Senator Clinton's depth of knowledge and commitment. My problem is that my eyes can't tell me which one I'm being offered.
Plus, the rapid shifts are a little to much like shifting from "change you can Xerox" to "so proud to be on the stage" to "hasn't crossed the threshold" to "could be my running mate."
I wish the best woman candidate for President ever was a little more comfortable in her own skin--literally as well as figuratively.

Or at least went and got Botox shots that last a lot longer. And, yes, I understand there is "stuff" that firms things up incredibly but is short-term and that is apparently what she is using.
Good grief...get a face lift or use Botox. There's nothing wrong with looking good at any age so get a bit of help. Same thing for guys, BTW. Chuck Hagel needs some serious help around his eyes and would probably look 20 years younger.
Nothing wrong with any of this. We'll all be doing it sooner or later if we have the cash.

This is a disgusting and sexist post.
Typical of many of Obama supporters (although not Obama himself).
Obama supporters feel justified in using the kitchen sink and garbage pail strategy on Clinton.
It is not enough to say that she was wrong on the war, or too close to the banking interests, or that her health plan wants to force everyone to join, or that she doesn't have experience or that she had wrong experience. But this is too boring.
Obama supporters throw personal insults at Clinton, calling her a monster, unethical, underhanded, a thief, a lesbian, power hungry, and anything else they can come up with.
They also hurl personal insults at anyone who makes arguments supporting her or seeming to support her. It's a cult following that wants all or nothing.
These are two great idealistic candidates who want real change in the election.
We should be proud of each and debate on the issues, not personal attacks.
Personal attacks will only insure a Republican victory.
