Why are politicians so fockin ugly?

category: general [glöplog]
What's the deal? Is it part of the criteria that you must be ugly to be a politician? What's worse is that when some politicians aren't genetically ugly enough they try to make themselves more ugly with stupid hair styles, combovers, thick glasses or by starving or overeating.

EG.

Man that is easy.

People don't elect a beautiful people because they are jealous. If the person is beautiful (and probably rich) one does not want to give them power as well.

Plus there would always be this small suspicion ..

Perhaps people subconsciously think that ugly people are more intelligent, who knows. Or maybe they vote based on other qualities than looks.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was hot somehow. At least he managed to have an affair with Marilyn Monroe ;)

You both have valid points, but to be honest if someone like Kiera Knightly or Liv Tyler were up for election they would get my vote just because they're hot! They can't do much worse than current world leaders and at least I'd actually enjoy listening to them spout politics!
Keops, you're right, but look what happened to him! :)
Are trying to tell us that Oswald (or whoever killed him) was actually just jealous? :)

How about posting pictures of hot politicians instead? (besides Cicciolina)

In France we have Elisabeth Guigou, quite nice considering her age and her job :)

The Finnish minister of culture (some time ago):

Italia made it possible:

Well, ugly in a way...

She was elected to the Italian parliament in 1987, with 20.000 preferences, representing the Lazio district of Rome. In that election, she was actually the second most voted person in the Radical Party, after the leader Marco Pannella, but she was not re-elected at the end of her term.

She announced in September 1990, when it was becoming clear that the Gulf war was inevitable, "I am available to make love with Saddam Hussein to achieve peace in the Middle East".
She renewed the offer in October 2002, when Iraq was resisting international pressure to allow inspections for weapons of mass destruction (WMD), and in April 2006 made the same offer to Osama bin Laden.

Politicians don't need to be beautiful because they have power :)

Serpent: Germany but don't forget she's a f* socialist.

Cj: But she's against Nazis!!! Oh wait, now you reveal your true face ...
MadenMann: Don't talk about topics you don't understand. I just said she's a f* socialist but that doesn't mean I tolerate nazis - you got it now?

Talking about talking about topics you don't understand: Cj, it's ok, nobody expects a guy thats stuck in the year 1990 to be uptodate with recent political developments. Or do some f* MATH for that matter.
