Tim Kaine's crazy eyebrow
I gave up on the State of the Union long before Tim Kaine came on to give the Democratic rebuttal, but the word is out about his disturbing left eyebrow -- take a look at this picture:
Kaine's background and his recent victory in Virginia make him an interesting figure to deliver the Democratic response, but that eyebrow is too distracting for the party to ever put him on national television again. Call me shallow if you want, but it's true. If you don't believe me, watch the Real Player video from C-SPAN. Yikes.
(PS There are 880 hits for "tim kaine eyebrow" on Google already.)
Most people, when on television, store their tension in their eyelids (look and see how often news anchors blink, it's a good indication of their confidence). Unfortunately, it looks like Kaine is one of the rare breed that store tension in their left eyebrow.

OK, I'll say it: You're shallow. What does an eyebrow have to do with the quality of someone's ideas? Nothing, I think.

Jack Davis is right. Eyebrows are meaningless. I guess you would have avoided FDR because nobody wants a cripple to lead us in war...

Kaine didn't impress me much in the reply. His speaking style was too measured, too stilted, too practiced. He didn't look natural or comfortable. Surely this was an occassion screaming out for Obama?

Brendan - shame on you. So the man has asymmetrical eyebrows. So what?

Maybe his botox person got the dose wrong?? I've never seen anything like it.
