Does Evil Age you Ugly?

Dick Cheney

1. Sure looks like it!

[KayLaw]

2. What about Condi Rice?

Wouldn't want to run into that face in any dark alleys.

[trumad]

3. You're right... That would be scary...

4. You live with the face you're born with for the first fifty years.

You live with the face you've EARNED the second fifty years.

Ancient Chinese proverb (reminiscent of Dorian Gray)

5. Excellent..

6. Excellent..

7. It's definitely true with Poppy and Babs.

I don't know how to post pictures, so I can't document it, but they have certainly taken on a very unattractive physical appearance. They were both what you might call "handsome" in their youth.

A lifetime of corruption will certainly reveal itself in your features. You cannot stop it and plastic surgery will not prevent it.

8. Posting pics is easy...

simply right click on the pic you find... A box will come up and you'll see properties on the bottom, click on that and you'll see a url address in it... Copy that url and then simply paste it in the your post... easy stuff...

16. Thanks trumad, I never knew how to do that, I have often wanted

to post the most important military insigna that I wore, like some others do here.

[Paradise]

9. Now, THAT is PRICELESS! :)

Even if you post others, which would be interesting, this one probably can't be topped. :yourock:

10. Reminds me of

The Picture of Dorian Gray, except that Cheney wears his portrait on his face.

11. Speaking of Mr. Gray... And you're right..there are some similarities..

12. The soul eventually surfaces

That's why botox is the number one cosmetic procedure in the world!

I started to watch the Frontline special the other night "the Jesus Factor" and had to change the channel after seeing a picture of a much younger * and thinking, "hmmm, he wasn't so bad looking as a young man."

Now he looks flaccid and stoned most of the time--like I said, it all comes to the surface eventually.

13. I had a similar thought.

That was the first picture I have seen of a more youthful Cheney - and when I saw it on C-SPAN, I couldn't really relate it to the face I'm familiar with. I think my first thought was "When did the 'sneer' start to evidence itself"? How much of it is from living with Lynn - and how much from living with himself?

14. Compelling evidence:

15. Eventually the person on the inside wins out over the outside appearance

It's why some people definitely improve with age and others go straight downhill. I remember a college professor of mine who was in her 70s when I had her. She was a beautiful older woman inside and out. She had a peace and grace about her that was contagious. She brought some pictures to share with us one day of her and C.S. Lewis (she was his neice I believe). I couldn't believe what a homely child she was. I remember thinking back then that she was a person whose looks had changed over time to reflect the beautiful person she was on the inside. I think it definitely can happen in reverse. BushI and II were both handsome young men, so was Cheney - and look at them now.

17. I don’t see ugly in that face

I see coldness. It is the face of a Doctor that could do experiments on people and feel no empathy for the patient.
Or watch people being tortured and feel nothing.

18. Unfortunately, so does good

At least, being good isn't any protection against aging ugly. It's aging that does it to most people.

I'm 60. I'm good. I'm not pretty. Stuff sags.

19. Remember Leni Riefenstahl?

She was one of Hitler's cheerleaders. When she died a few months ago at age 101, there was a DU thread showing her picture. I can't reproduce it with my webtv unit. You might try a google search, an image search. Or do a DU search.

20. You mean these pictures of her

21. 1st pic looks a little like Ann Coulter.

The second pic may be what Ann will look like in her old age. Was Leni still alive when that 2nd pic was taken? Thanks for posting the pics.

22. Look at Nixon

I think he got YOUNGER the longer he was in the WH. Power vampire. I think Rummy's got it too.
