The Presidency

A place to debate issues or to rant about what's on your mind. In addition to discussions about historical fiction, books, the publishing industry, and history, discussions about current political, social, and religious issues and other topics are allowed, so those who are easily offended by certain topics may want to avoid such threads. Members are expected to keep the discussions friendly and polite and to avoid personal attacks on other members. The moderators reserve the right to shut down a thread without warning if they believe it necessary.

It is rather drastic there. Mitt Romney looks and acts like a Ken doll :D and Newt Gingrich reminds me of the grumpy men in the Muppets! :D

While here our PM sets up a scenario where she is attacked and then blames the opposition who then blames the PM for remarks he had made and then she blames the oppostion for blaming her and the opposition is calling for an investigation into who blamed who for blaming the other in the first place.

Anyone want to watch 'Yes Prime-minister?'and where is Bernard when you need him! :D

That's who Gingrich looks like! I couldn't quite place him. I've been referring to Romney as a Ken doll for months. :D

And aren't you glad ... ? :) You are perhaps not made of plastic and hair gel. It's not a bad look for a human being.

You are Ken, and you are certainly a doll to us, but that does not make you a dreaded "Ken doll." :D There is nothing fake about you, dear Ken.
