Obama-McCain Verdict: Makeup Makes The Man

By now, you've seen the CBS, CNN and Fox polls that show Obama beat McCain in Friday night's debate. But what I want to address here is way more important. Can we agree that McCain was wearing more makeup than a Fremont streetwalker?

Here's a picture of what McCain, 72, actually looks like.

And here's a picture of what McCain looked like while wearing $5,000 worth of makeup and not looking Obama in the eye. Discuss.

Oh, right, here's the story about McCain's makeup gal.

I'm not saying a political candidate shouldn't wear makeup on TV. I imagine Obama was wearing some makeup too, based on these pictures, but perhaps not a trollop's worth. It's no super biggie. I'm just sayin'. It was jarring. Seeing McCain's face look like a Halloween mask. Not that that's necessarily bad. Halloween masks sell well at Walgreen's, you know.
