The Plot Thickens -- and Falls -- on Eyebrow Gate
While the rest of you were analyzing each candidate's economic policies during that BloombergTV debate, I couldn't get my mind off of Ron Paul's eyebrows. Specifically his right eyebrow. It seemed as if he were wearing eyebrow toupees and, what's more, that there was an eyebrow toupee malfunction.
Apparently I wasn't the only one to notice. From the New York Times:
For those of you not yet riveted by the Republican race, Mr. Paul, the dark-horse libertarian with equally dusky brows, was a victim of hot lights, faulty adhesive or merely a devilish optical illusion when his right eyebrow seemed to dip toward the stage at Dartmouth College.
Seen on television, Mr. Paul appeared to have a second, thinner brow under the one headed south, creating a delicate X over his right eye.
Jesse Benton, a campaign spokesman, insisted that Mr. Paul had been the victim of the elements, namely a heavy pollen season in New Hampshire, and called accusations that he’d been artificially enhancing “stupid” and “insulting.”
OK. What in the world do allergies have to do with eyebrows? I think this scandal must go deep. What else is Ron Paul lying about? Inquiring minds need to know!

Calling Dr, Savage! Dr. Savage Line ONE!
Speaking as non-doctor, I know about four diseases that can cause eyebrow loss and most of them pretty benign. However, if Dr. Paul were losing hair due to Chemo treatments his supporters have the right to know.

Ron Paul has ditched a progressive eyebrow for a flat eyebrow with a lower marginal lift.

He's test-marketing eyebrow extensions. Next debate he's going to wear dreads....

He is afraid we will find out that his chest hair is a fake and that is a gun in his pocket.

That's no "...delicate X", it's a plot of gold against the US dollar.

Paul is gonna lose the hippie portion of his coalition if it comes out that his brow toup is made from real fur.
