Looks like bad lighting. Perhaps Baba Waa can help with advice on the lighting issues

Dickbag. (And, Jack, am not commenting on his physical dicky-baginess. Just to be clear.)

He looks like my dad, if my dad were uncomfortable with his age and thus got a very bad dye job. So, nothing like my dad.

No, sorry, all I see is Howard Borden. What's that wacky Bob Newhart done now?

more cat pictures

I feel like I might look like that in about 15 years, so I'm just going to note for the record that Chris may have a subversive, i.e., probably gay--and if Chris is getting his hair cut and colored in or around Washington, vaguely politically aware--"colorist." So here is my two cents. If I were you, Chris, I would tone down the unreconstructed Catholic schoolyard, Maureen Dowd-infused takedowns of our Democratic nominee for president and pull back on the weird hero-worship of chickenhawk Republicans. In some deep, dark corner of that narrow mind of yours, you may someday be able to recognize the fact that you are actually an unbearably pompous, misogynistic, homophobic gasbag who has been tragically blindered by his so-called faith and "superstar" career in politics and the media. But even if that blessed day doesn't come to pass, do you really want to show off that big glossy brain of yours under that tragic dye job? The choice is yours.

@SarahHeartburn: Ph, shoot. Thought I'd post the picture of a Red kitty. Someone with more tech skills will have to do it for me. Sorry.

Maybe his 24 year old girlfriend has a retro-nostalgia thing for Howdy Doody. (It's Olbermann, I know... I'm reaching here.)

I've never understood men that dye their hair. I'm 27 and would go gray tomorrow if it kept me from going bald. Dyeing your hair at his age is just showing off.

@lawyergay: Awesome.

i just really need everyone to know that i went to school with his son and he is a modern-age douche, i.e. his shirts are always half-unbuttoned to reveal his limited chest hair and metal dogtags (why?) and he bound across the room to light cigarettes in his eager attempt to be a gentleman.

no one in real life seems to understand why this is so funny to me.

@mydeadgayson: I totally get it, albeit on gawker. And it makes the most perfect sense.

@Helman: And thanks...that actually took a long time to write!

@lawyergay: nice takedown. also, the political blogs call him "tweety" for the hair shade he formerly used ... and that nickname was supposedly bestowed by his own staff

sad when ur staff mocks u

also: a friend once interned for bob dole, and the friend said dole was so mean that the staff made hand jokes

I think its more of a technical issue as opposed to middle-aged vanity. He was so pale he disappeared on screen like that kid from Powder. They needed to see his head more, so hence the darker do.

@if_i_only_had_a_heart: that was dole before getting help for ED
