Politics can be awfully ugly.
But you know what isn’t ugly? Tim Kaine in his younger days.
Now we aren’t saying the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee isn’t a good looking guy today — he’s definitely got that friendly neighbor vibe going on — but the Tim Kaine of yesteryear has sparked a whole new vocabulary of political discourse.
There’s really no debating it — Tim was a babe.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

No, not really. One good pic qualifies as a fluke. But why should attractiveness be the ultimate measure of a man. Tsk tsk shallow Queerty!

Young Tim Kaine looked like a more attractive (and far less annoying) Matt Bomer. I actually think the guy is still pretty hot in a silver daddy way.

No no no and no – if I saw him hitchhiking I’d keep on driving while singing “it’s raining men”

Hate to break it to you, guys, but so was nutcase scumbag Trump.

@crowebobby: Umm no. He was not. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3dmV4sFe4Fo/maxresdefault.jpg

I’m just gonna say it…. he looks like Ted Bundy

@Stilinski26: Oh, fuck, you already said it lol!!

Hopefully we don’t elect people according to looks (except for some of that subconscious influence), but the other V.P. candidate was probably hotter.

I guess when you turn in a failed performance as a rude, obnoxious creep, Queerty feels the need to dig out some 30 year old pictures of said creep.
In the looks department (and the maturity department), I’ll take Silver Daddy Mike Pence any day.
James
Pence wasn’t bad in youth, though he looks like he was born wearing a suit. With the hanger still in.

As for the debate, yes Tim Kaine was inartful in his interruptions (though no moreso than Trump). But he was much more substantive, backed up his running mate far more than Pence did, and got in some great digs at The Donald. Let Pence win on “style,” it’s not going to help him much in the long run.

Kaine looks more like a young, less troubled Dean Stockwell, which is not a bad thing.
NateB79
@Alistair Wiseman: If we’re being really honest, no one did a bang up job in the VP debate.
joeyty
Actually, Kaine and Hillary Clinton look like a pair of hicks, which is probably why they appeal to so much of Murica. (No, I don’t think Trump is that great-looking either. Always reminded me of a Russian).
dwes09
@Alistair Wiseman: Which is worse? A childish performance, but armed with (mostly) facts or a calm demeanor while denying Trump said things that are clearly preserved on hard drives for all eternity? Pence is quite obviously a practiced liar (as so many self-described pious Christians are), as well as a self righteous, anti gay prig. I’ll take a childish performance over that any day especially when teamed with an effective experienced politician as opposed to Pence’s narcissistic, unprepared running mate.
But yes, Pence is currently the better looking of the two, and had the more telegenic demeanor.

Well, you almost HAVE to judge partly on ideology. You need to draw the line somewhere:

Nothing wrong with Mr. Kaine. However, some people here take every opportunity to bash other Gay men. It’s almost as if any Hetero is automatically better than any proud and unapologetically out Gay man. Matt Bomer is a good guy and hot as hell.
Alistair Wiseman
@dwes09:
Said the Christian bigot.
Kangol
@James: Yep.
Of course Alastair hungers for the anti-gay nutcase who signed a law requiring women who had abortions to hold a funeral for the fetus.
ArtM
OK guys, the last guy you drug home: did he have to pass your political test?
I didn’t think so.
Looking at him objectively, and remember, he is a breeder, he was very nice looking.
I think one of the last questions I would have asked him was about his political leanings.
And he’s still got a real charm today as he ages. He does look like a nice guy and fun to be around.
Get off your political high horses.
ArtM
@Masc Pride: You could not possibly have watched “White Collar” sober and made a comment like that.
jag4313
Tim Kaine was sexy when he was younger and sexy today! Love me some Tim Kaine!
Hussain-TheCanadian
@Kangol: Holy sh*t is that true??
NateB79
No it’s not true. Come one, lets not fall into the sharing of memes and news stories as if they’re truth like so many people. Pence did not sign a law that made woman that had abortions hold a funeral. He attempted to have a law passed that made the medical facility responsible for either burying or cremating aborted and miscarried fetuses.It was “dignifying the lives of the unborn”. It didn’t require the women to be involved. It’s also a mute point because the law was suspended by a US District Judge before it even went into effect. Take a minute to research things like that before you share them as a fact.
crowebobby
@NateB79: You can find a bad photo of anyone. It is the moue that makes him look ugly and ridiculous there. But if it’s important to you that he be ugly his whole life it’s okay with me.

hello

We definately have different ideas of what a “fox” is. To me Kaine ain’t it.
