Doesn't Tom Cotton Remind You of Someone Else?

I'm a little reluctant to start a thread here because I hardly participate.

But I have to mention how much Tom Cotton reminds me of someone else on the RW political scene, both physically and ideologically.

He really seems like the love child of Paul Ryan's mother and the maternal grandfather of Paul Ryan.

I just read the OP again. He looks like "the love child of Paul Ryan's mother and the maternal grandfather of Paul Ryan." Are you suggesting he looks like the theoretical offspring of Paul Ryan's mother and her own father? Ew.

They're all stamped out at Corporate Central, business attire painted on, and then distributed to make the lives of productive people sheer hell. They all have dark hair, could double as mannequins in a mens' wear store, and all have dead eyes.

"Brash, young executive on his way up" is completely interchangeable and has been since the 50s. However, with corporations moving much of their operations overseas, Corporat Central has no choice but to stamp them out and run them as Republicans.
