The political field is a lot like middle school: There’s side-taking, rumor-spreading and, most importantly, name-calling. Big thanks to Republican senatorial candidate John Spencer for supposedly keeping the tradition alive. As reported in the New York Daily News, Spencer allegedly implied that his Democratic contender, Hillary Clinton, was ugly back in the day. “You ever see a picture of her back then? Whew,” Spencer allegedly told the reporter. “I don’t know why Bill married her.” The paper claimed that Spencer also said Clinton had had “millions of dollars” in plastic surgery, a claim Clinton denies. Spencer vehemently denies the Daily News’ report, but the paper stands by the story. Clinton currently has no reason to worry; she still leads Spencer in the polls. And, Hill, “ugly” comments coming from a guy who’s more pockmarked than Ray Liotta really shouldn’t faze you.
