Things you can only do if you're in the top 1% of attractiveness.

Equating your political candidacy with a root canal doesn't seem like a winning strategy but what the hell do I know.

Anthony said...

Zaphod Betobrox.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

It's neat-o that anything and everything written about a democrat, is written with soft, kind loving words.

The other party never ever gets that sort of treatment.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

The hygienist is here legally. Not sure how that is supposed to help us understand why it's OK for the democrat party to roll out the welcome matt for illegal border crossings?

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Gimmicks. The next best way to swoon The Party Media.

rehajm said...

Mercifully it wasn't his visit to the proctologist.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

That's next. Actually, he's not old enough for a colonoscopy. He's just a baby.

rhhardin said...

Ghost Town (2008) was a nice dentist movie.

"Only floss the teeth you want to keep."

Mike Sylwester said...

This proves that the USA should allow any Central American to walk across our border and obtain permanent residency.

Nonapod said...

Sadly I'm guessing that this sort of feel good pablum by a traditionally handsome nonthreatening white guy will appeal to a lot of moderate female voters.

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

A. he's not attractive and B. only billionaires go to the dentist on the US side of the border. I would like to go get my dental care in Reynosa, but unfortunately because Tamaulipas is currently such a shit show it's not safe. So I'm going to wait until our next trip to Arizona and go on that side.

Lucid-Ideas said...

Riffing yet again on "likability"...

See fellow citizen? How I go to the dentist? There's nothing abnormal about me live streaming this at all. I'm just like you!!! Next I'll send video of me eating a burger because I, like you (and other humans), also like burgers!!! Isn't that awesome!!! Hahhahahahahahahahaha!!!

Social media is going to bring about the frickin' end times. I'm sure of it.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

Look - we cannot build any walls, fences, or physical barriers or install better security because
A) Nancy says NO.
B) the democrats are very interested in vast amounts if illegals border crossings. It's good for their business.

I Have Misplaced My Pants said...

My dentist wants $10,000+ after insurance for the various things I need done. Same stuff, $400 in Mexico, and the office is in-network for my insurance which is enough of an assurance of quality for me.

I'm sad for the hygienist that she doesn't mind being his performing monkey.

Unknown said...

Does he have a prostate exam scheduled next?

Lucid-Ideas said...

"Does he have a prostate exam scheduled next?"

Actually it's his tailor next. We'll get to see what's up his sleeves.

Sebastian said...

"Things you can only do if you're in the top 1% of attractiveness."

Sure. The top 1% of attractiveness among progs, as certified by prog media.

On the other hand, if you are Sarah Palin, you get MSMers commenting on shit stuffed in your mouth.

JaimeRoberto said...

Even if he were in the top 1%, this would be stupid.

mccullough said...

I’d take Beto over any of these other Democrats. It would also be hilarious if another White Guy is their nominee.

Nonapod said...

I don't believe he's in the top 1%, maybe top 5%? But I'm a hetero male so I may not be a great judge.

Molly said...

(eaglebeak)

He's not in the top 20%, in my view--teeth are too big. It's a Kennedy trait, and it's a bug, not a feature.

Maillard Reactionary said...

And you thought Obama was narcissistic.

Well, to be fair, he is. But still.

Lefty females eat this stuff up, apparently. Go figure.

Drago said...

Nonapod: "I don't believe he's in the top 1%, maybe top 5%?"

Whatever he is its dreamy dreamy DREAMY to the LLR crew!

Dre-e-e-e-eam-y!

However its doubtful LLR Chuck will be switching his Durbin photo out for an O'Rouke one in Chuck's In-home Democrat shrine.

Maillard Reactionary said...

Molly said: "He's not in the top 20%, in my view--teeth are too big."

Bigger than George Stephanopoulos'? Let's get out the calipers and settle this.

Even if it turns out to be a draw, George has to take the blame for choosing his.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

It's times like these where I actually miss JFK Junior.

Lucid-Ideas said...

"Lefty females eat this stuff up, apparently. Go figure."

They eat this stuff up because they also do stupid stuff like this. They love it.

Lefty females are the lowest of the lowest information voters. Quite literally every other Dem voting demographic is getting something tangible.

They do it for likes. They do it for popularity. They do it for free.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

I'd take Bob over KKKamala. Yes indeed. I am wondering how leftwing he really is?

Freeman Hunt said...

Few in the top 1% of attractiveness would consider doing something on purpose so certain to result in such unattractive photos.

eric said...

This is incredibly cringe and mockworthy.

But, the media loves Democrats.

Had this been a Republican? Late night comedy would've been in business for weeks.

Ken B said...

Trump, AOC, Beto. It's the Twitterization of American politics, and culture.

walter said...

"Lefty females eat this stuff up, apparently. "
They also take toilet selfies. No shit!

walter said...

(at least not visible)

Limited blogger said...

How will they balance the incredible Demo love fest, with the incessant Trump hate fest? There is only 24 hours in a day.

stevew said...

Man, that guy's good, I can barely manage muffled responses to my hygient's questions, never mind articulate and thought provoking ones.

BETO in '20!

Charlie said...

Stop the world, I want to get off.

Earnest Prole said...

Three words: Michael Dukakis tank.

FIDO said...

Between her swooning over his twi-deo and now calling him 'top 1% attractiveness', and I am guessing that like Chris Mathews and his tingling nether regions, Althouse is NOT using anything like cruel neutrality when it comes to Fake Hispanic Bobby 'Drunk Driver' O'Rourke.

And I doubt her position would change if a Bob Jones professorette showed up asserting he groped her somewhere and somewhen.

That is just how Althouse rolls.

Mr. Majestyk said...

I thought "Idiocracy" was a fictional movie, not a how-to manual.

Joe Biden, America's Putin said...

The best part of "Idiocracy" the movie, is how Medicare for all will look.

Lucid-Ideas said...

"I thought "Idiocracy" was a fictional movie, not a how-to manual."

Same thing with 1984. Look how that's turning out.

To any aspiring authors that comment here. Please please stop with the dystopianism. Leftists think these are How To Screw Up Everything For Dummies manuals. Dystopian Crib Notes.

This concludes today's public service announcement. I am not Laslo.

Bay Area Guy said...

If you marry a billionaire's daughter, you too could do stupid stuff in the political arena!

robother said...

"Hey, look at my tongue!" The Beto Male answer to Alpha Male Director assertion of dominance.

FullMoon said...

Too bad he was not under influence of nitrous oxide. Might find out what he really thinks.

Do dentists still use that?

bagoh20 said...

I guess that the next thing we will see is some Dem showing us how they poop just like everybody else. Why do they think they need to prove they are human? Very suspicious.

bagoh20 said...

What's next, "Two Dems and a Cup" ?

Jim at said...

Mercifully it wasn't his visit to the proctologist.

How could you tell?

West Texas Intermediate Crude said...

He's a frat boy. Rich, sorta good-lookin', not too bright. Crashed a car driving drunk but got off easy 'cause his daddy was the county judge.
Clearly presidential material.

Wince said...

The guy's a lantern jaw.

bleh said...

Is he considered attractive? I mean, sure, his wife stands to inherit billions, and he gets to spend some of that money. And he has political power and popularity.

But based on looks alone, though, I find him to be very ordinary. Somewhat BobbyKennedyesque, I suppose -- and let's face it Bobby was not a good looking man.

Nichevo said...

Ann, do you yourself think he's that attractive or are you relaying the received wisdom that he is that attractive? Because he's not really that attractive. He isn't a patch on JFK Jr, as someone noted above. He's just not hideously ugly like so many politicians. But I've seen several photos of him over time and no, not really.

CJinPA said...

Considering that even 51% of Hispanics approved of Trump sending troops to the border, I'm OK with ambitious Democrats focusing on the issue.

The long overdue debate (a real one, not the pretend one) over immigration is coming and it will be good for the country.

CJinPA said...

(FYI, anyone over 29 who begins a sentence with "So" is not to be trusted. That's not my opinion, that's science.)

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

BADuBois said...

I'm expecting that before the election is over we'll get at least one livestream from shitter.

And it may not necessarily be Beto, but he's number one (and two! har!) on the list.

Kevin said...

Oh no! Liz Warren is probably working out how she'll discuss banking reform during her next colonoscopy!

Kevin said...

Pelosi to discuss tax reform while receiving her latest Botox injection.

Ingachuck'stoothlessARM said...

interesting.
Give him an enamel plaque re: the Tartars and the Great Wall

exhelodrvr1 said...

I'm gonna get me a crown!

Lucid-Ideas said...

Beto and his supporters all want him to wear the crown. After a google search they found out it's a PPO 100/80/50, with 50% year deductible Type III (falls under major services), roughly $550.07 with no waiting period! What a deal!

They put the crown on the campaign's credit card. They're wondering why - if it was this simple - it's nevah bin dun b4. Gonna tell the whole world about it. They're smarties!

AZ Bob said...

You're so vain
You probably think this dental cleaning is about you

Rabel said...

"Diana, wearing goggles and a mask over her face, said she was born in El Paso and that her father was a U.S. citizen. She added that her mother was born in a small town in Mexico and that she herself was a permanent resident in the U.S. while studying for her American citizenship.

She said people in the area were extremely helpful during her time studying for her citizenship, and that "the entire neighborhood was there when she passed her citizenship test."

Is that just poor writing by The Hill? Diana was born a US citizen.

MeatPopscicle1234 said...

Is someone seriously saying Beto-man is in the top 1% of attractiveness, or does this post require a /sarc tag?

Rabel said...

Same thing at Time:

During the interview, viewers learned that Diana was born in El Paso to a father who was a U.S. citizen and a mother who was born in a small town in Mexico. She also shared that she was a permanent resident in the U.S. where the people in her community supported her as she studied for her American citizenship and that she hopes that Americans realize that the border region is a “beautiful community.”

Rabel said...

Found video and she's talking about her Mother. So, poor writing and a failure to appreciate that that writing was wrong.

John Ray said...

He's not only a escape-the-scene drunk driver.

He's not only a attempted burglar-tresspasser (after college, when one presumably has better sense).

He's not only a son of a judge daddy who fixed his kid's problems, over and over.

He's proven that he is a butt-ugly, Irish West-Texas beta-male, claiming to be a Mexican, idiot of which we Texans have no pride. Many Texans of Mexican heritage find him disgusting.

But, the SOB is presidential material, that's for sure.

Lucid-Ideas said...

Married rich. Soft on the eyes in that boyish Bobby Kennedy way. DUI conviction. No experience. Media-puffed. "New politician smell".

Beto is the perfect Dem Political Amalgam. Great taste! Less Filling!

Infinite Monkeys said...

Oh no! Liz Warren is probably working out how she'll discuss banking reform during her next colonoscopy!

Do you see anything hiding up there? You know, some banks try to hide things...

@Rabel said...Yeah, that's weird. If she was indeed "born in El Paso" then she's a U.S. citizen, full stop. Either someone's lying or someone's an idiot... or both.

MayBee said...

This next election cycle is going to be awful, isn't it?

SeanF said...

Rabel: Found video and she's talking about her Mother. So, poor writing and a failure to appreciate that that writing was wrong.
Clarification still needed. She was talking about her mother when she said...what?

Rosalyn C. said...

Getting feedback about being attractive is not the only source of confidence but knowing you are attractive can be a big confidence booster. That kind confidence is sexy especially when it is effortless. I have found that people who have always known they are attractive and sexy have no qualms about occasionally posting unflattering photos of themselves. I think they actually do it for fun.

Ctmom4 said...

Top 1% of attractiveness??? Time for an eye exam, professor.

Freeman Hunt said...

" I have found that people who have always known they are attractive and sexy have no qualms about occasionally posting unflattering photos of themselves. I think they actually do it for fun."

Not unflattering but "unflattering."

Freeman Hunt said...

Althouse never said she thought Beto was within the top 1% of attractiveness.

Rick.T. said...

Too bad it wasn't Laurence Olivier on the other end of the dental tools. Now that would be entertaining.

Rabel said...

"Clarification still needed. She was talking about her mother when she said...what?"

It's clear in the video that her remarks about being a permanent resident and studying for the citizenship process were in reference to her Mother who was from Mexico, not her (Diana the hygienist born in El Paso).

Unless her headline is snark, which is entirely possible, I believe she did. Not that there's anything wrong with that. She seems attracted to the scrawny types.

Hi, Meade!

Beto O’Rourke isn’t especially handsome, but really, you Trump Cultists seem to have Beto Derangement Syndrome as bad as you have Elizabeth Warren Derangement Syndrome, as bad as you have AOC Derangement Syndrome.

Such hateful people you are.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“It's clear in the video that her remarks about being a permanent resident and studying for the citizenship process were in reference to her Mother who was from Mexico, not her (Diana the hygienist born in El Paso).”

No kidding. What dummies thought she was speaking about herself?

Rabel said...

"What dummies thought she was speaking about herself?"

The writers at The Hill and Time among others.

It's typical writing I think. The democrat media attempting to mix legal with illegal so the media can point out how deplorable we are. Again.

Inga...Allie Oop said...

“Clarification still needed. She was talking about her mother when she said...what?"

I believe a commenter said that right here in this thread.

mockturtle said...

I don't see anything attractive about this guy.

Leland said...

Reminds me of previous Presidential hopefuls sitting in a tank or climbing out of a Space Shuttle.

chickelit said...

People said Michelle Obama was gorgeous too.

Trumpit said...

It's in bad taste. It reminds me of LBJ showing his abdominal scar to the press. Brush your teeth was the message he was trying to convey, I suppose.

The Gipper Lives said...

Uniformed professionals are guarding his teeth with fluoride so no undocumented cavities get in.

Wasn't that Whoopi s advice to AOC!

I'm looking forward to AOC's visit to the gynocologist.
