So I was a little late getting to see my man Jack Bauer do his thing on the show 24 tonight. I had FoxNews on and the show Hannity and Colmes came on. Sean introduced Susan Estrich. She was sitting in for Alan tonight and let me tell you, she did not look at all like the picture in this post . She looks like she had some major cosmetic surgery done! She definitely had some nose work done, probably some botox injections and who knows what else. She also sounded like she’s probably cut back to a pack of smokes a day.

I’m not a fan of cosmetic surgery for the sake of being “cosmetic”. I mean if you have an accident and get messed up, then yea it makes sense to have doctors try and put your face back to the state it was in before the accident. But to continually try and hide the natural aging process with surgery is just not cool to me. If someone is a supermodel that makes a living off their looks, I guess it makes sense to do what pays the bills. But Susan is a commentator. Making her face look prettier is not going to change what is coming out of her mouth and people like me will still disagree with her all day long. I guess she thinks this will land her more TV gigs and it might. But for me personally, I’ll allow myself to grow old and look like an elder when I am one .

Let’s face it, FoxNews is like the “supermodel” network with it comes to the females. As a man I can’t say I’m mad about it . But I guess it shows that looks are a powerful thing.
