Joan Burton's appearance.

    What is it with people tearing down Joan on her appearance? From what I can tell she's a standard looking woman for her age.

    Is it a way for the slightly stupid members of society to show their distaste for the course of policies her government have introduced?

    She seems to have been singled out for this criticism and with a Dail is exactly full of stunners.

    If it is because people think she is bad at her job, why can't they say that? If you get a poor waitress when you're out, you don't call her a horse faced ****.

    It seems to me that it's a way for the thick people to voice disapproval. Of what, they don't know, but they ain't happy.

    What's the story, AH?

    I've never heard anyone comment disapprovingly of her appearance?

    Her voice on the other hand, well, it is ripe for pulling the piss :)

    I just had a Google of 66 year old women. (SafeSearch On.) And she's a fairly standard woman.

    I dont get it. They dont agree with their policies. They dont know what the policies are but because it's the government, it's bad.

    There seems to be a bit of that all right. Same with criticism of a service provider - "It's a company so they must be in the wrong, not the customer!"

    Im sure like every politician being a sociopath wanting power over your fellow man takes its toll on your looks

    I have never come across anyone having a go at her appearance apart from the OP raising it here.


    Is this a case of trying to find outrage where there is none?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Cold War Kid


    I've regularly seen people refer to a lack of attractiveness about her. Same with loads of politicians in fairness though.

    Standard is a term reserved for older women, men, sweeping generalisations about a race and full time mum's.

    I break out the heavy **** when I woo a lady.
