I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. There are plenty of mean things that can be said about Rhee without dragging in her personal appearance, which has fuck nothing to do with anything.
I imagine that most of us hold Barack Obama in the deepest contempt. And I think we're all aware of the most shocking, transgressive, emotionally charged, &c. &c. words we could throw at him. Would any of us throw that word? God, I sure hope not, and for entirely obvious reasons. ___________________________________
Actually I do think Obama is ugly and for the exact same reasons as Rhee: their characters are expressed in their faces. We're not talking about physical appearance here.
