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.

(53,550 posts)That was the example I was trying to remember. Didn't make him look smarter either!

(53,550 posts)It really makes him look like a dumb guy trying to look smart and failing miserably.

PatSeg
(53,550 posts)Let him keep digging that hole. He certainly is his own worst enemy.

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.

(31,237 posts)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.
PatSeg
(53,550 posts)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.

(297,947 posts)The eyes blinking as he lies like a corpse.
PatSeg
(53,550 posts)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.
malaise
(297,947 posts)who ReTHUGs want elected. It facilitates a particular narrative and he'll vote as ordered.
PatSeg
(53,550 posts)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.
malaise
(297,947 posts)Walker is an abject fool.
PatSeg
(53,550 posts)considered kind, being that clearly he is far worse than a "fool".

(53,550 posts)but they failed to tell him that it didn't work. Perry looked and sounded just as dumb and the glasses made him look silly.

I have him losing by at least 5 in my mind.
