Looking at Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan has given me dejà vu. Where have I seen that hair before? Turn back the clock forty years, and then I have it. Has anyone checked their closets--- for shoes?
Follow after the cinnamon twist.
I hope someone with better HTML skills can tell me how to embed images; all I've got here are the links.

Colbert suggests he's trying for Reagan hair, but Reagan affected a 40's pompadour (to signify the last decade any original thought had penetrated his skull) which bore some resemblance to the female version in its heyday. The big difference seemed to be that women used hair spray while men used that greasy stuff back then: now I think all the retro kids use hair spray.

Why in Cthulhu's name are Republicans making themselves over in the image of an elderly Filipina lady? Do they share her excessive devotion to footwear, or just her awful politics? The debate moderator should ask Mitt and Rick how many shoes they have, and who paid for them.
There should be Questions in the House about Cantor's and Ryan's footwear. Was Cantor so anxious to get his foot in the door to find somewhere to stash more shoes? Why should the elderly and poor have to sacrifice to support Ryan's shoe fetish? Mitt may have some excuse: he needs to maintain a full closet of shoes in every state he claims as home: Massachusetts, Michigan, California, Catatonia, etc.

Shoes? I got your shoes right here, buddy. http://th02.deviantart.net/...
To be fair, Imelda did get re-elected after her ouster, and her son is governor of their home province. All is forgiven if you look good on TV.
