For once, words fail me

Earlier tonight, Phil of The Albany Project called, practically bursting at the seams.

"Dude, dude, the tattoo! Isn't it hilarious!"

Say what?

"The tattoo! Roger Stone's tattoo! Hahaha!"

Realizing something must be up, I clicked on over to TAP, and found this:

Yes, that's Roger Stone's manly chest. That thing on his back is a tattoo. The visage it depicts is one Richard Nixon, whom he had tattooed on his back. No, I am not shitting you.

The reason this is of interest is that Stone now claims the creation of this tattoo as his most recent alibi in WeirdPhoneCallGate. Hence, the photo, as documentary proof. Except, of course, that he didn't actually get the tattoo during the time or even the day the call was placed.

I really don't even know what to say, except this: Joe Bruno sure has himself some way kinky employees. Nixon's face, that's pretty hardcore. Uncle Joe must be cringing.

and did you notice the waxed chest?

how metrosexual of him. I thought republicans were more of the bear daddy kind.

Yeah...

...I was kind of surprised not to see piercings, but hey.

I don't want to spoil this party, but

are we sure that's Stone? Last time I saw a photo of him, he was blond (though there's no reason that should be any more natural than anything else about him). Is he weird enough to try to use a photo of someone else for his alibi?

If this is for real (even if it's decades old), it goes straight to the head of the list - in front of the guy who keeps the Bush doll on his desk, in front of the guy who collects photos of Bush's hands....

Stone impostor

I would agree with the last post. The coif is nothing like his blond wavy do although the lack of chesthair and inverted nipples could be his -- he is of course a notorious swinger. The handheld mirror might be key to solving this mystery. Can anyone zoom in on that?

Stone's political obituary

Stone's political obituary has been written for thirty years now -- the one thing everyone forgets is that he keeps on winning - constantly!

Wrong! But yes, it's him...

Roger Stone keeps on winning - constantly? No. Did you include his work for Tom Golisano, Arlen Specter's 1996 presidential bid, Al Sharpton 2004? When did he win in the past 10, 15 years? You would have to go back a few years to find a win.

I, too, remember Roger's golden locks. How could one forget them. He was metrosexual long before the word had been coined.

But I do believe it's him. Somehow the back of his head looks like him, and what's stopping a guy like Roger from getting a dye job?

And we know the guy's got a hard-on for Nixon. Look at what Maureen Dowd said about him. She called him the "keeper of the Nixon flame" and was "Nixon's man in Washington" during the post-Watergate years. The guy loves his Tricky Dick.

Oh, it's him.

I'm not going to ask

how you know him by the back of his head, though I will concede that the back of the head looking into the mirror appears to match the front of head in the accompanying shot.

But as to how far you'd need to go back to find a Stone win, I'd count the sabotaging of the Bush T.A.N.G.- A.W.O.L. (damn, that's a lot of alphabet soup!) story and the destruction of Dan Rather's career is something recent that he's probably rather proud of.

He makes my skin crawl. I hope Owen Wilson feels better soon, because I could imagine someone making a wicked (and wicked funny) movie about Stone, and Wilson would be perfect for the role.
