However, there are differences between talking about a person's eye make-up, wrinkles, and weight and talking about a particular expression that indicates mood or temperment.

Most of the comments about Bush's appearance are regarding his expression - an indication of his mind and temperment.

Criticizing a person's appearance as "unsexy" or "ugly" is inappropriate for a supposedly progressive person whether it's Bush, Cheney, Condi or Karen Hughes.

Saying that Condi's snarl makes her look particularly hostile today or that the boots she's chosen to wear have an overt militaristic character is not exactly the same thing as saying, "Man, her ass sure is big!"
