Too Skinny to be Pres?

Amy Chozick in the WSJ:

But in a nation in which 66% of the voting-age population is overweight and 32% is obese, could Sen. Obama's skinniness be a liability? Despite his visits to waffle houses, ice-cream parlors and greasy-spoon diners around the country, his slim physique just might have some Americans wondering whether he is truly like them.
That's straight up idiocy. If we don't elect a guy because he's too healthy then we don't deserve democracy.

Interesting graphic at least.

That picture of John McCain is hilarious. It looks like he's in the middle of a vaudeville skit.

[insert inappropriate sexual joke about being fast a la The Office's 'that's what she said']

I do what I do.
