Jon Corzine 4.9

John Corzine, democratic governor of the garden state, is a a politician with a beard. This, unfortunately, is a risk in our current political waters. Thus, in Corzine’s post, it’s rather admirable to display such plumage (even if shoddily so).

For Corzine, the dedication to beardiness stops at not shaving. Not every beard has to be long or burly, but what’s the point of a nearly transparent beard? Corzine is in a unique position to use his white bristles to his advantage, by growing them out to instant wisdom length.

Current polls on his beard have sunk to 35% approval and 42% disapproval. Bummer.
