I have said before that the presidency ages people badly, but it's interesting having an actual doctor parroting my words.

By the way, for those of you who voted for McCain who looks like this:

This is what he will look like in 2013:

:D

Bush doesn't look like he aged very much in his 8 years.

Vote For Kane of CnC! In his 20 years of playing Kane HE HAS NOT AGED 1 BIT!

You've been waiting for an opportunity to use that picture, haven't you?

It's not really power, it's the responsibility and heavy work load factors. I mean, some people with power can actually spend their time spinning around on a swivel chair, like our former Lord Mayor.

Yep. :D

I stand corrected. I know Clinton aged horribly.

I tried to pick similar pictures. He looks even older in less flattering ones.

Crap. In 2001, Clinton was a logo!

Somehow I think that the worse (oppressive/warmongering) a politician is, the longer they stay? Louis XIV, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Mugabe...

Being a politician might be a light version of turning undead or something.

It's a harrowing job, the POTUS.

Are you sure that isn't Teddy Roosevelt in the first picture?

Seconded.

Bush doesn't look like he aged very much in his 8 years.

I disagree. I think he looks the most aged out of all of them, though that may just be because the photos of him are of a higher quality. Clinton's hair turned snow white, but other than that he looks more or less the same. On the other hand, George H. W. Bush looks YOUNGER in that second picture to me.

Are you sure that isn't Teddy Roosevelt in the first picture?

I believe it is, but here's a picture of FDR in 1913:

I know the difference between FDR (Whom I dislike intensly) and Teddy Roosevelt (Who I believe was the best president of the last century, him or Coolidge)

It appears as if you've mixed up Davy Crockett (or Colonel Roosevelt) with another one of your previous presidents.

He has that look that's saying "I will fuck your shit up if you mess with me."

They're both President Roosevelts. It's equivocation and silly and therefore funny and.... sigh, nevermind. :p

Bush doesn't look like he aged very much in his 8 years.

Of course he doesn't, it's not like he cares about the effects of his actions.

Yea....if you have to explain your joke, it's not funny.

For what its worth, I was amused.

Stephen Colbert?

Yea....if you have to explain your joke, it's not funny.
I thought it was funny as Hell. Just 'cuz you're not as swift on the uptake, that don't make it the comedian's fault, say?

Oh I got the joke, it just wasn't that funny. Oh look, two Roosevelt, and one of them served 4 terms!

Yea, that's basically the joke, not that funny to be honest.

Well you didn't get the joke, hence why you asked "are you sure that isn't Teddy" and all. Obviously it is, or I guess not that obviously, but you know... that too is funny so I lol. :)

Bush doesn't look like he aged very much in his 8 years.

It's because he sucked the life out of America to rejuvenate his youthful look.

Hasn't Sarah Michelle Gellar been able to do something?

Arrgghh... nevermind, apparently our humour differs.
