Totally superficial water-cooler topic: What’s up with Biden’s forehead?
Before…and after
Let’s end on a lighter note tonight (er, this morning!), because tomorrow it’s back to Battling the Crap Sandwich 2.0. I mentioned this totally superficial water-cooler topic earlier tonight and tons of commenters also have weighed in:
What was up with Joe Biden’s frozen forehead?
It’s his smile lines, too.
Ewww.
The HD broadcast of the debate made it all the more glaring. (And let me note that left-wing blogs have had plenty to say about HD highlighting John McCain’s appearance.) Go ahead and Google “Biden and Botox” in the blog search engine and you’ll see lots of other observations about it, too.
Commenter ddhinnyc: “As a frequent Botox addict, I can confirm this: Biden has not had his eyes done, but he has had his forehead botoxed, and he has had bad hair plugs.”
Commenter nativeaz08: “Biden isn’t tired. He is over botoxed.”
A plastic surgeon weighs in:
It was fun to watch the Biden/Palin VP debates this evening. Not only was the verbal sparring more entertaining and ‘debate-like’- but it was great to see both candiates up close in High Def for more than the few sound-bite seconds that the netowrks have alowed in the past weeks.
A couple of things I noticed….
1. Joe Biden is no stranger to the 30 [gauge] Botox needle. His midline forehead barely moved relative to the wild gesticulations of his lateral brows and forehead. It was creepy to watch him partially animate his upper face.
Totally creepy. Kerry creepy.
Actually, if you stare long enough at the right-hand photo, it starts to look like Dan Rather.
Creeeepy.

Its botox man! The botox must give him the power to lie and try to get a man up from a chair.
P.S. Sarah you rock good job.
Wheelchair sorry.
I love the Anchoress’ description of Joe’s hair as “scary doll hair”.
Two words: duct tape (skin toned, of course).
To paraphrase an earlier Dennis Miller line:
Joe Biden looked like a puppet that was accidentally washed in hot water tonight.
That boy could not tell the truth if his Mother asked him.
This sub prime crap is all Democrat refusal to stop the Fanni Ma gravy train for poor folks, and illegal aliens.
Get the hell out of the country you illegal aliens!
The botox’d forehead was alarming and distracting, but nearly as distracting as the caterpillar eyebrows. His eyebrows seem completely disproportionate to his squinty eyes.
Maybe not so creepy. He’s had a couple of cranial surgeries and when you cut into the scalp muscles, they don’t recover like a normal muscle in an arm or leg would because they’re so small. It makes your forehead and eyebrows/lids droop. My mom this after her brain tumor surgery and they recommend Botox shots in order to do what the scalp muscles can’t anymore.
I’m watching the entire debate again (I don’t have to work tomorrow) and wow, Sarah is doing much better than I originally thought. I think I thought she was nervous becuase I was so nervous for her (and the country) but she is clearly doing great from the beginning.
Maybe I’d buy that if they also recommended injecting into his smile lines, too…

Holy hell!
Yeah, my mom definitely didn’t get that recommendation. He looks like The Joker!
Off topic, but check this out:
Vatican official attacks U.S. Democrats as “party of death”
..He said Biden and Pelosi, “while presenting themselves as good Catholics, have presented Church doctrine on abortion in a false and tendentious way.”
hahahahahahaha! It does.
If you look this up in Wiki you will see that
Botoxniaks are an elitist people, living mainly in the Northeast, San Francisco and Hollywood. Botoxniaks are typically characterized by their lack of facial movement, and common shallow culture and language.
In the English-speaking world, Botoxniaks are most commonly known as narcissists.
Botoxniaks speak the Botoxian language. This language only has minor differences with absolute rubbish in writing and grammar, but its speakers are, on the level of colloquial idiom, more linguistically gaffe-prone than either Alaskans or old farts.
Anyone see the Two and 1/2 men where Charlie’s mom has her butt fat injected into her lips? Just askin’
Oooh, check out this picture of him in the limo.
What’s going on by his eyes?
Somebody’s been indulging in the Botox. Biden’s got some kind of weird Klingon-like forhead landscape going on that’s for sure.
Limo?
That’s not green!
This is Obama’s Green Machine
Surely he gave helmet head a ride.
Man, it took you that long to noticed something wasn’t right with Biden’s face/head? Heck, I saw that picture on September 15 when Drudge Report had a good one of his face/head and it just struck me at how odd it looked.
Botox.
Look at the Drudge Report picture I saved. I swear, any tighter you’d think he’d grow horns.
Just stare at the Drudge Report picture of Biden’s. It’s even more creepier…devilish even.
Looks like another famous son of Pennsylvania to me.
Holy Crap!
Careful Joe, all that Botox might kill the hair plugs.
Michelle you’re funnier at 2am
not that you’re not funny other times too, uh-oh, how do I get out of this – I feel like Biden writing a term paper…
Talking about the guys looks is childish…yeah; I noticed and mentioned his forehead didn’t wrinkle and that it was Botox….but really…what’s more important is that he is a blatant liar. Can’t blame the guy for trying to upgrade his looks….his competition tonight had great legs, great smile, is way smart, has nice hair and was just plain sexy in that librarian sort of way….C’mon…he’s single, isn’t he?
Pshhh. Serious schmerious.
I think we’ve got too many things to be serious about right now as it is so let’s see what funny things we can come up with in regard to the ridges in Biden’s forehead in that first shot.
My first thought…he tried out for the role of a Klingon on Star Trek but they rejected him because his forehead was a little too lumpy.
My next thought…if you can figure out how old a tree is by counting the rings, can you determine Biden’s age by counting the ridges on his forehead?
And now…PB (post Botox)…can we expect him to do something about the bags under his eyes? Without those ridges, they really seem to stand out and say, “Howdy!”, don’t they?
On a lighter side, I thought this was cute:

Pokes fun at everyone.
Doesn’t that Botox crap leech into your brain?
Don’t know where to put this. It’s all in the marketing.Obama09 Heroin?

Vanity?
With all that real estate available on his forehead, Biden’s probably prepping the site for an MBNA billboard: Open an account, receive a toaster!
When Biden looked into the camera, I kept asking myself “what is wrong with his eyes?”.
I’m can’t find a good thread to post this, but I feel that this old archived webpage REALLY needs to get around the internet.
It’s a 2001 interview with Fannie CEO Franklin Raines.
It speaks for itself. Please circulate this!

Taxidermy.
Frankly, I have to admit they did a great good job with Biden. He appeared very life-like to me.
Michelle, you nailed it. My kid I were watching the debate and were trying to figure out why Biden looked so un-natural. At first we thought it was makeup, but you’re right he’s pumped up with a bad botax job.
He looked sinister!
My read on Biden was that he seemed less animated than usual. hmmm…..
I said this to my husband! His forehead is overbotoxed! *LOL* Vanity thy name is Smokin’Joe Biden!!!
Biden looked eerily reptilian…
Am I the only one who noticed how loudly he breathed last night? It was quite distracting, not to mention a bit disgusting. It was more obvious when Sarah Palin was speaking, as though he had to catch his breath after every time he opened his mouth.
Will Botox be covered under their Universal Health Care Plan??? Or will it be only for Democraps?
See I have this crease between my eyebrows I’d like to get rid of. But I suppose when Bambi gets elected all our troubles will be over & I won’t have (worry)creases anymore.

“You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.”
I just posted a comment about Joe Biden, and instead of it being posted, this popped up on the screen, and I lost what I had written! What is going on?
The item I previously tried to post is this…Joe Biden didn’t look healthy to my. He was pale. He was sweating. And his eyes looks funny. He also looked pissed occasionally. Having said that, I think Joe is a “nice” guy, but just on the wrong side of the issues. He believes in what he says and you have to give him credit. As for belittling him about his looks…that is probably not a good thing to do. I demeans us. Having said that, I am grateful that Sarah cleaned his clock!
See: Nancy Pelosi
I’m concerned about those dots on his forehead. Could be cancer! Meme time!
On October 3rd, 2008 at 9:43 am, happyscrapper
Given his history of strokes, I don’t find his decision to do botox to be too bright! He looked just fine before the “fix”. IMO, he should have reflected on his stroke and recovery, and told his handlers to stick the needles (fill in the blanks)
That occured due to Joe swallowing his tongue when Sarah was smacking him across the legs with a birch switch time and time again.
Joe Biden is one of “The Invaders”…better check to make sure his ring finger isn’t longer than his middle finger (if it is is, he is one of THEM, as in he is from another planet!)
PS-for the younger ones out there, “The Invaders” was an ABC-TV Sci-Fi show form the 1960’s
Totally off topic, but I read the story on HotAir about the wine salesman’s van in Minnesota that was vandalized, and sent him an email asking him if he delivered cross-country. He graciously declined, but if anyone is in the MN area, you might want to support him by purchasing some of his products.
His reply:
Wow! I didn’t know the van was online. Thanks for the link. I’ve got some incredibly intolerant liberals in my neighborhood, whom I refer to as “the Gluesniffers,” because that’s the only explanation I can come up with for their political affinities.
I appreciate your offer to buy wine, but as an importer I’m allowed to sell only to entities with a retail license (i.e. stores and restaurants.) Just by asking, though, you would be doing me a favor if you sent an email to info@haskells.com and repeat what you wrote me, i.e. “I saw the van, I’d like to buy. Do you ship to CO?” No purchase necessary.
I’ll be in Vail in February, so maybe I can make a personal delivery (if they allow liquids on the plane by then).
Thanks for the link and support!

Ha! Is superficiality is only skin deep?
What was creepy was that he could still raise the end of his eyebrows, so he look like Spock whe he tried to raise his eyebrows. You could see that the botox people hadn’t done the side of his forehead, and there still were lines present.
It’s not that he looked funny. It’s that he took the time and went to the trouble and expense to create a fake appearance.
What does that say about him? About Dems, who have a history of doing this? See Kerry (orange skin, much Botox) and Hildebeest (extensive carving and chemical puffery).
Yeah, that’s some serious Botox injection action there. His forehead.. his eye lids.. his cheeks/mouth.
It’s definitely creepy.
Okay, I know this is also totally superficial, but since that’s the topic, I’m going to say it: Palin looked so beautiful last night. Having watched the vids of her competing in the pageant, I can say that she has grown more beautiful with age. She did very well, but she looked even better. Alright, back to the serious stuff…
the outer edge of his right eye was kind of funky, looked like it was being pulled up.
Just saw larger pictures. The man had botox all over his face. The droopy lower eyelids are almost gone, the creases around his chin are almost gone, too. Somebody ask him if he can say the word “whistle.”
John “Droppy-dog” Kerry lead the way for Botox-enhanced political presentation. Biden is an apparent follower of the JFK youth-enhancement process.
Medical process injecting poison to deaden nerves creating unemotional, smooth visage. Freaky.
It’s Exeter from This Island Earth!

OMG!!! I thought I was imagining it!
His forehead could not have been tighter. I suspected a secret facelift.
There you go again, Joe!
Rush said he looked like a cling-on.
Sorry to the Cling-ons…
…don’t get an old guy excited…
Goodness, I didn’t even think of it! Biden on Botox. Oh my. and they say men aren’t vain about their looks. Funny, Biden’s trying to look younger; Obama quit coloring his hair a couple months ago, trying to look older.
I don’t think it’s botox. I just think they went hog wild with the makeup. When applying makeup, the base tends to drown out lines on the face. It looks to me like he just hacked off his makeup crew.
Check my blog (edwardcropper.blogspot.com/) for the low-down on Joe’s face job.
