    Hey Bob, I think you should take a look at C-Span. None of the Republican Senators I’ve seen grilling the Detroit CEO’s are wearing their American flag pins (so far I’ve noticed Shelby, Crapo, Dole, Corker). I think that may be fodder for a future column…. Either they HATE American workers or their pins were just for the election.

    Well, that was nice… sorta.I mean – I smiled at some of the transformations, but what’s with Bolero? Couldn’t we have had the Battle Hymn of the Republic or something? Especially if we weren’t going to get to the climax for Bolero…I mean, talk about leaving a girl hanging.(That’s breadcrumbs for DP, jane and Kat)QT

    It’s amazing how similar 1-43 looked and how different and exciting #44 looks. I think that the faces of all American Presidents will be different from now on.

    Wow, I almost couldn’t take some of the putty faces in between but it was worth the eye-bending brain banging stuff to get to the present.And yes, QT, I did think of my cohorts in crime when I read that. We would be ribbing you mercilessly in an evening open thread.

    Damn, that was quite a succession of ugly white dudes. Well, except Monroe…he was sorta cute. But after all that vanilla, the introduction of a little chocolate was positively delicious.Poo, QT – like we need breadcrumbs. ;) And I feel your pain…I hate it when things end before the climax is reached. We should break up with whomever put that clip together – finishing prior to climax is decidedly break up worthy.

    Ok, you ladies aren’t being fair at all. We’ve had some handsome presidents. Run through that thing again and check out 5, 11, 12, 14, 18, 20, and 31! Heck. 42 was a cutie back in his day – and I’d have counted him if I could separate his youthful good looks from his even younger inability to keep his parts where they belonged. I’ll grant that 44 is the best looking of the bunch, though.So, Bob. When are you running for President?QT

    Midad – thanks for the patriotic songs version! :) Music better (ends on an up note instead of in the middle), but the faces morphed in and out before you had a good chance to take in who was who sometimes.Now I’m on a mission – I want to know who are our good looking presidents? The second video left me with a different list…QT

  • KatInWilm

    I don’t know, QT. The only ones I’m feeling (based upon looks alone here) are Monroe, Pierce and JFK. Although Jefferson isn’t bad. And Reagan was pretty good looking when he was in acting. Just my 2 cents. :)

    Great idea, but I just couldn’t get my mind off Bo Derek…

    Goodie, now it’s working so I got to see the ugly white dudes someone eluded to. Have to say compared to some of the names such as Grover, Barack doesn’t sound so bad. Oh I know, just got taken in by his trojan horse conspiracy gotcha that’s been perpetrated on a delusional left wing biased media and electorate.

    Everyone from Carter on is smiling ( no. 43 was grinning.) Also, my ” gut ” feeling was : I coulnd’t wait to get to no. 44.
