People, this is Anne Kuster, Democrat in New Hampshire.
Republican State Rep. Calls Congresswoman 'Ugly As Sin' And 'Drag Queen'
This is state republican Rep. Steve Vaillancourt.
This is Marilinda Garcia, who while she is pretty, she's a ditz.
A republican teabagger ditz.

A Republican State lawmaker called (D) Congresswoman Ann Kuster 'ugly as sin' which will hurt her reelection bid because she gives drag queens a bad name and looks matter.
In a very offensive and misogynistic article, Republican state lawmaker. Rep. Steve Vaillancourt (R) attacked Congresswoman Ann Kuster (D) over her looks and said she'll lose her election to the attractive Marilinda Garcia because she's "ugly as sin" and voters hate girls that look like "drag queens."
A Republican state lawmaker wrote in a blog post last week that U.S. Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) will likely lose her re-election race in November because she is "ugly as sin" and "looks matter in politics."
The New Hampshire blog Miscellany Blue first reported that New Hampshire state Rep. Steve Vaillancourt (R) compared Kuster to a "drag queen" in his lengthy post and said she will probably lose to Republican challenger Marilinda Garcia, who is "truly attractive." He writes that his blog post is politically relevant because he "seem[s] to recall" some new polling that shows "an attractive candidate can have as much as a seven to ten point advantage over a less attractive (or even an unattractive) candidate."
"Let's be honest," Vaillancourt writes. "Does anyone not believe that Congressman Annie Kuster is as ugly as sin? And I hope I haven't offended sin. If looks really matter and if this race is at all close, give a decided edge to Marilinda Garcia."

the answer to that question.

There's a wondeful line of research about how those with physical beauty are awarded other desirable characteristics automatically.
Hopefully reality will win the day over stereotypes.

Life is much more difficult if you are not attractive.

They call the mirrors ugly, and cover them up with sheets
so they don't have to look at them.
