As part of our ongoing campaign to make this the most superficial election in US history, here's the latest Botox rumor buzzing around the campaign trail. According to experts, the reason Joe Biden's forehead and eyes sometimes look a little stiff or sleepy is that he's most likely undergone a botox procedure to disable his scowl muscle. And who can blame him? Scowling at superstar Sarah Palin at a debate is certainly not going to win him any bonus points from female voters.

Is it really that hard to believe that he might have had a little work done on his face? And so what if he did -- does it matter? He's certainly not the only candidate to be suspected of Botoxing it up for the election.
