a mortician? And sometimes, he plain just looks like a statue of himself in a wax museum.

Doesn't he have aids who notice this?

Then again, we're talking about a man who's living in the 19th century. It's possible he's been dead for 150 years and they use makeup, batteries and strings to stand him up and make his mouth move, while some dittohead does a voice over.

Whatever he is, he keeps Rush happy and Rush allows him to hold the senate minority leader position. Nonetheless, I keep waiting for his face to melt under the hot lights of a TV studio.

On edit: But when all is said and done, it's great to have McConnell and John Boehner as the current face(s) of the Republican Party. You'd have to search long and hard to find two people whose very existence could piss you off.

1. Maybe the make up artist can't tell the difference

8. It was a failed circumcision that left him like that.

2. I've always wondered about that
something about his particular skin tone and the shape of his face: no chin + jowls = :wtf:

There is something so plastic looking about him that you are surprised he is animated and can talk.

3. Here's my theory
It takes a pretty hefty coat of pancake makeup to make sure his Reptilian scales don't show through.

7. That's pretty funny.. I like that one the best. He is rather alien.. His eyes
also make his look very plastic. They are just round black orbs.. and he doesn't blink much.

5. For the first six months his make up artist was applying powder to his
ass and Preparation H to his face. In time he was informed of his mistake, but the end results were the same.
