Has Joe Biden Had Botox? (PHOTOS, POLL)

Has Biden had Botox? The New York Post found a plastic surgeon who thinks so.

"Yes, absolutely, and I would bet my next paycheck on this assessment," said Dr. Oleh Slupchynskyj, of the Aesthetic Institute.

After being shown the shots by The Post, the doctor concluded that most of the work was around Biden's eyes.

"It appears that he had some sort 'Lateral Brow/Eyelid Lift,' " he told The Post.

But the Biden camp shot back with a firm denial:

"I don't know how to say no firmly enough. Absolutely not. That's not a misdiagnosis, that's called malpractice," said his spokesman, David Wade.

"Completely untrue, completely unsubstantiated, completely stupid, and I'd remind Dr. Slupchynskyj that the last doctor who made a diagnosis based on something he saw on television was Bill Frist and it cost him his credibility," Wade said, referring to the infamous 2005 diagnosis of brain damage patient Terri Schiavo by the then Senate majority leader from the floor of the Senate.

I agree with many of the comments posted here - Who Cares! What would be refreshing was that if he did get some Botox he would just say so, big deal. I think he has - watch the area between his eyebrows a year ago and now - there has clearly been some Botox injected there. Also his central forehead is wrinkle free and has no movement - tell tale sign of Botox. A bigger question is why his injector didn't keep things more natural looking, particularly in a Vice Presidential candidate!? What's most important is his experience and leadership - go Joe go!!

You're right, who cares. Who cares about Palin's cloths, who cares about Biden's hair plugs, who cares about Biden's slip ups, who cares who Obama's mentors are, who cares about what shapes one's character? That's what this election is all about; WHO CARES!

If you know what Joe Biden's forehead used to look like when he was angry, then you would know exactly why he has had SOMEthing done to tone down his forehead when he levels his gaze of death at Sarah Palin. It is very difficult to conceal anger when it shows in your forehead. There is no motion in the muscles of his forehead. Just the facts.

The baby blues and the smile do it for me!

It really doesn't matter one way or another. He has a brain, unlike his opponent.

Not that big of an issue. He doesn't strike me as the type that would bother with botox. Besides could you trust the opinion of a doctor by the name of Oleh Slupchynskyj or the New York Post?

I have a huge, ridiculous crush on him. There's definitely been some work around the eyes, not surprising for a man who had hair plugs. But who cares???? He's fab.

I mostly think Joe Biden, may have had some hair transplants, also maybe some botox, he looks better, than he did a year ago, I'm all for trying to look as well as you can, it just makes you feel better about yourself

Seriously? Posts such as this and last week's post on Sarah Palin's lip liner tattoo or what have you belong in InTouch Weekly, can't we just stick to talking about topics of substance.

By the way did anyone catch Gary Shandling on 'Real Time with Bill Maher?' The line where he compares Biden's VP debate prep strategy to Johnny Carson dealing with Charo is comic genius!

Oh come on......he probably religiously uses Rogaine.

What's that got to do with the economy, etc? If you want to talk about facial scars and such...let's talk about those moles on McCain's face and his other medical conditions.

Hmmm even if he does, I don't care! He doesn't look hideous, he looks good, and anyway, botox is no biggie, just like Fraxel or any of the other dermatological wonders we now have have. Better living (and looking) through modern medicine!
Yahoo.....

[butlerman]

Are you friggin' kidding me? Who cares? I expect better than this type of nonsense from Huffington. Let's concentrate on the campaign. Humor is one thing but this isn't humor this is just stoopid!

[sociocanuck]

So. What.

[ebanks84]

WHAT?

WHO CARES? What the heck is this article about? Are you for real?

We are falling apart at the seams in this country and you have a nerve to talk about BO-effing-TOX!

WTF?

[KayT]

I don't really care if he has or not. If this is worth to time it took to put together, then where is the same silly stuff being asked about McCain.
