The Official Gina Rineheart Thread

[Moros]

Being a hideous toad does not help anyone.

No, but it is not what is the cause of averse reaction, not in the slightest. If she was a prostitute, perhaps then it may really have been rather detrimental for her err..."business". But not when stating merely an opinion.
Also being ugly or something can be used to win over hearts as well. You can relate better to or have more empathy for someone who gets misjudged for their looks. Look at that Paul Potts guy, sure he had talent, but it was also him being so down to earth and yes not a pretty picture. That's why people wanted him to win. Or that guy who won the American Idols, who couldn't even really sing. Also I'm not sure why we are discussing her looks either. Are we going to compare Obama's looks with Romney as well? Is that why Ron Paul didn't have a chance? Surely Palin should have won last time, I mean if Merkel and Tatcher can hit the jackpot...

This is too silly.

So, now it's advantage of sorts?

You're not familiar with Johan Cruyff are you?

"Elk voordeel eb zijn nadeel"

No, I say it can be. It cannot be. But it's not factor here. And tends not be much of a major factor either. Sure she wouldn't have much credibility when talking about dieting and exercise, but that's not subject. This is getting silly. Meh. See you in a different thread.

No, I say it can be. It cannot be.

Well, in this case it's clearly not. Are you willing to argue otherwise?

Why are we even discussing this? Why is her appearance relevant to what she says/does?

This is a woman who demanded a seat on the board of Fairfax but was refused because she didn't want to sign the code of editorial independence and wanted to be able to hire and fire editors as she saw fit. This was completely in line with a speech she paid Lord Monckton to deliver in which he encouraged the mining sector to buy up the media so that they could directly change the discourse of Australian free-market thought and thus serve their own interests.

So I ask again - why are we discussing her appearance?

Why not? It's a thread about her, why can't we discuss her appearance as well? After all it's a part of who she is.

It is an irrelevant part.
