Is it just me or has Herschel Walker all of a sudden

started wearing glasses? It seems like it has just been since the allegations from his ex-girlfriend and his son Christian. Did someone tell him that glasses would make him look less guilty? More virtuous?

I don't know. He still looks like an asshole to me.

It really makes him look like a dumb guy trying to look smart and failing miserably.

Unfortunately no one bothered to tell him, it didn't work for Rick Perry either.

I think Herschel is seriously going to regret running for political office if he hasn't already.

I remember as others here have already mentioned Rick Perry doing that. (snicker) It didn't help him, he was still an idiot wearing glasses, it won't help Walker either. Only a moron with an empty brain thinks the smart is in the glasses.

it rather highlighted the dumb, drew more attention to it. There is something awkward and embarrassing about politicians who try too hard to be something they clearly are not.

though the glasses might have drawn more attention to his eyes. Whoever talked Walker into to running for political office really needs to find a different occupation, because they really suck as political consultants.

though I believe they underestimated how bad a candidate he would be. Their stupid political tricks seem to have backfired on them this time. Meanwhile, Walker is wealthy and doesn't need this job. I'm surprised they were able to talk him into it. Probably appealed to his massive ego I suppose.
