Huey: "Vibrant," "sultry," "twenty-two"?! Caesar: Yeah? Huey: You make the National Security Adviser sound like Beyonce! This document is at best deliberately misleading and at times a complete fabrication! People will have no idea what they're getting themselves into! I believe Condoleezza would be proud. Caesar: You think the post will run this?

22 is obviously incorrect, but “vibrant” and “sultry” seem accurate …

I’m glad to hear a woman is most valuable at the age of 22 (and that once again that supersedes all of condi’s achievements). Guess the majority of women aren’t worthwhile. Seriously, I used to love this comic for its politics, why has it sunk to this?

Also, why is it that when a politician is female, people feel compelled to take jabs at how ‘cute’ she is or isn’t? No one thinks to do that when a politician is male.

You must be young or forgetful. H. Ross Perot took plenty of shots for his jug ears and looks. And Richard Nixon was criticized plenty for…well just not being too very attractive at all. Dan Quayle was often called a pretty boy and I seem to recall John Edwards getting some of that same kind of talk. So you see, men politicians do get some of this stuff as well. I’m sure other examples are out there but I cannot think of them right now.

It was widely held that Harding was elected for his looks and found himself vastly insufficient to the job.
