BrowGate Update: Ron Paul's eyebrows stayed put tonight, but the comments across the country have expanded to include his senatorial son's toupee from hell, and are posted here to satisfy all those searching for Ron Paul's eyebrows (pun). And then no more — BrowGate is over.
Campaign Comment for the Record:
Jesse Benton, a campaign spokesman, insisted that Mr. Paul had been the victim of the elements, namely a heavy pollen season in New Hampshire, and called accusations that he’d been artificially enhancing “stupid” and “insulting.”
“Dr. Paul’s allergies acted up a touch,” Mr. Benton said in an explanation that might raise some, you know, questions.
Not that Mr. Paul would be blamed for trying to keep up with bushy brows like Rick Perry’s, whose upper-eye area is full, or Mitt Romney, whose orbital outliers are sometimes speckled with gray.
Allergies? What? That doesn't even make sense. I have allergies, they make me cough and sniffle. They don't make my eyebrows fall off.

Uhm, his allergies acted up so his eyebrows fell off? Is that what the spokesman is implying? And isn't spring allergy season?
You know, if you don't have anything remotely intelligent to say, just say you don't have a clue.
Now I can't wait for Michelle Bachmann's head to fall off and have some alien looking creature crawl out of her.
You think you know someone, and then something like this happens!
