Donald Trump on Carly Fiorina: "Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?"

This comes courtesy of a quite revealing Rolling Stone piece on Trump.

At one point Trump is sitting back watching a Fox News segment: 

When the anchor throws to Carly Fiorina for her reaction to Trump's momentum, Trump's expression sours in schoolboy disgust as the camera bores in on Fiorina. "Look at that face!" he cries. "Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!" The laughter grows halting and faint behind him. "I mean, she's a woman, and I'm not s'posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?" 

Now I will admit that some of Fiorina's plastic surgery seems a little ill advised, and sometimes, to be honest, kind of distracting.

But that is her choice, and says nothing about her ability to run the country.

Also unlike certain others we could mention Fiorina is not attempting to use her looks to attract attention, or deflect criticism.

Besides has the Donald looked in a mirror lately?

Yeah I think he better hope that the voters are not nearly as shallow as he clearly seems to be.

It should be noted that later Trump attempted a little damage control by claiming that when he said "Look at that face" he was really talking about her persona.

Man, Trump is really courting that low intellect vote isn't he?

26% of Air New Zealand passengers would like to spend the flight snuggling with Sarah Palin. Really? Have they ever SEEN Sarah Palin?

"Does snuggling mean I have to touch them? Eeew!"

In celebration of the launch of its Skycouch service, Air Kiwi conducted a poll to find out which celebrities passengers would like to cuddle with during a long-haul flight. Jennifer Aniston took top honors, cited by 47 percent of men polled. She was followed by Megan Fox (37 percent) and Angelina Jolie (32 percent). 

Palin, the only politico on the list, ranked No. 4 at 26 percent. Only seven percent of surveyed females picked Sarah, proving once again that women are much smarter than men. Palin tied with Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, and Mila Kunis, who was the top choice of women with 27 percent. [Johnny Depp, George Clooney and Brad Pitt were the top men that women selected as cuddle partners. Hugh Hefner, Kobe Bryant and Arnold Schwarzenegger ranked on the bottom.] 

In a measure of sweet revenge, Palin nosed out her tormentor/impersonator Tina Fey, who clocked in at 24 percent. She crushed Lady Ga Ga, Rihanna, Kristen Stewart, Christina Hendricks, Emma Stone and Blake Lively. Men think Oprah, the political polar opposite of Palin, is the least cuddly celeb. Only eight percent of them would like a chance to snuggle with the media baroness. 

Like senility, Palin’s cuddle factor advances with age. Only two percent of men and women aged 18-to-24 want to cuddle with her, compared to 31 percent of those over the age of 55. On the educational front, Sarah scores best with college grads with a 29 percent score and worst (16 percent) with those without a high school diploma. Fox (32 percent), Beyonce/Aniston (31 percent) are favorites among the least school educated. Fey, at six percent, is the loser in that category. 

Okay at first I was WAY confused by this poll, because you know like..ick!

But then I read the entire article and realized that the men who chose Palin were mostly over 55, so I figured that their standards were probably lower, and they figured she was easy.

But then I also was puzzled by the fact that college graduates were more likely to choose her as well, but I have to assume that either they are intellectually curious about her and want to spend the flight studying her as a human oddity, or that they are closet Trig Truthers, who figure that by the end of the flight they might finally get to the bottom of the mystery.

Of course the possibility still exists that the passengers on Air New Zealand just have really bad taste in potential cuddle mates.

Any thoughts?

(P.S. Just for the record I would MUCH rather snuggle with Tina Fey than almost any other person on the list because she is both cute AND smart, which means that if the cuddling was not stimulating enough, the conversation definitely would be!)

The reason why Sarah Palin constantly places the importance of appearance over substance revealed!

For those who have often wondered why Klondike Kardashian wears unnecessary glasses to disguise her lazy eye, receives occasional cosmetic surgery to improve her appearance, and periodically dons a padded bra to accentuate the "girls" (And how THAT could possibly help her politically), this study should provide an "aha" moment for you.

Using data from the 2006 U.S. Senate and governors’ races, the study shows that for every 10-point increase in the advantage a candidate has when rated by voters on his or her looks, there will be a nearly 5 percent increase in the vote for that candidate by the uninformed voters who are most firmly planted on their couches. Yet that same advantage in looks is worth only about a 1 percent increase among low-information voters who watch little television.

“It’s not that this effect influences all voters exactly the same way,” says Chappell Lawson, an associate professor of political science at MIT and a co-author of the study. “Voters who watch a lot of television but don’t really know much about the candidates, besides how they look, are particularly susceptible.”

In other words you don't HAVE to demonstrate any intelligence, or hide your batshit craziness too carefully if you can throw on enough high definition make up, tease you hair, and pump up your boobies, to look like this:

All the simple minded, couch potatoes need to know in order to throw their support behind Sarah Palin is that with the right lighting and makeup she can make herself look like somebody they would want to masturbate to.

Or dress up to look like.

Or dress up to look like and THEN masturbate to.

And it seems to work.  The first thing you hear repeated over and over again about Palin is how attractive she is, as if that were the single most important factor in choosing a person to lead this country.  Everything else that her supporters cite as reasons to support her are a litany of talking points about freedom, taking back this country, and making government smaller, all of which sounds as if they read it off of the back of a red, white, and blue box of Frosted Freedom Flakes.

However what is obvious is that if Palin were not able to make herself look like a Constitution misunderstanding, Civil War re-enacting, Teabagger's wet dream, she would NEVER have received the kind of attention and blind allegiance that she has enjoyed thus far.

Well hell, if you can't beat'em you might as well join'em!

I give up. If all anybody wants to know about Sarah Palin is what she LOOKS LIKE I might as well give the public what they want.

So without any further ado here is Sarah Palin in all of her glory for you Teabaggers to feast your eyes upon.

No, no, no don't bother thanking me, I know when I am beat.

After viewing the above images of their idol (By the way just so you all know NONE of those were photoshopped in any way), I am positive that the Palin supporters admiration and support for Sister Sarah has now become all encompassing.

Poor Barack Obama. The super competent, unbelievably intelligent, goofy eared bastard never had a chance.
