RUDY Giuliani is no oil painting, nor is John McCain. Fred Thompson may have cracked it in Hollywood, but he's hardly leading man material.
Barack Obama has those ears to contend with, while every time Joe Biden opens his mouth it's like watching an old episode of Mr Ed. Even pretty boy John Edwards is starting to show signs of wear.
But according to the US's leading radio shock jock, Rush Limbaugh, it all matters little for the male presidential candidates, because when men age they look "more authoritative, accomplished and distinguished".
What does matter, says Limbaugh, is that Hillary Clinton, who turned 60 in October, is starting to wrinkle.
So on Monday, on a radio show with an audience of 14.5 million, Limbaugh asked this question about the former first lady's presidential prospects: "Will Americans want to watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?"
The inspiration for this misogynistic king hit, one that says much about the kind of attention Senator Clinton can expect if she eventually becomes the Democratic nominee, was an unflattering photograph of her taken on the campaign trail in freezing New Hampshire at the weekend.
The image was featured prominently on the home page of the Drudge Report website under the heading, "The Toll of the Campaign", and Limbaugh - whose past commentaries on Senator Clinton's campaign have included references to her "testicle lock box" - seized on its popular cultural significance.

"As you know, the haughty John Kerry Botoxed his wrinkles out during the (2004) campaign.

"I'm not running because I'm a woman," she said in a recent interview. "I'm running because I think I'm the best qualified person."

Since when is Rush a “Shock Jock”? And Hillary looks like the label on Old Grand Dad.
Got me by a few seconds!!! Congrats.
OMG....in 4 years....is that what I will look like????? I really don’t think she has aged well....what DOES she eat? Looks like she needs to drink more water.
Everyone knows that people judge women on looks more than they do men. Welcome to reality.
I feel Bill’s pain.
Personally, I think that Hillery looks more human in that picture than she has ever looked before.
Maybe for enough money some of your brown shirt thugs can get The Oprah to lend you her face.
Then Willy Jeff will finally be married to a dark skinned woman.
Didn’t Andrew Young say that Willy Jeff had dated more black women than Osama Obama.
With morals like those of the Clintons I would not doubt that Willy Jeff has slept with more black women than Jessie Jackson.
Admit it Hill your no Spring Chicken or as they say in Oklahoma your chicken has sprung.
Why is it that a woman aging is an evil thing (and no, I don’t like Hillary one little bit). But today is my birthday...
Do ya hate me a little more today? I have a few more wrinkles, I think I sprouted 3 more gray hairs and that butt of mine grew a 16th of an inch.
Even Bridget Bardot, who’s an ally of sorts caught hell here...because she’d AGED!
Seems kinda shallow, that’s all.
What a revolting development!
Ya know, in a couple of years (maybe sooner) hildebeeste will surpass Helen of Washington (the "Face That Sank a Thousand Ships").
Need injections-—fast.
“Seems kinda shallow, that’s all.”
right on. Maybe it’s just because it’s Hillary and people love to make fun of her.
I don’t remember this kind of talk about Maggie Thatcher.
Hey..Margret Thatcher always looked fine to me. Not a date candidate, but very distinguished senior citizen.
I prefer that we pick on the Hildebeast for her character, personality, policies, crimes etc. So what if she is ugly, fat, sweats a lot and has bad breath.
