Because she looks like a Secret Agent for International Rescue, that's why -- specifically Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward. I'm sure that's why I've been making Thunderbirds references lately.
(Yes, I have also read that she looks like the woman in Mars Attacks, but I wasted that comparison on Mrs McCain four years ago.)
If only the marionette Lady Penelope could get her hair styled as perfectly as Callista.
Here she is in fur...
... supporting her man ...
... and looking visionary.
I think that's why Callista has never gotten her nose fixed, because then she'd look just like a puppet.
Speaking of puppets, when is Colbert going to bring Guy Smiley back? He does still look just like Mitt.
I don't recall ever watching the Thunderbirds although I recall Fireball XL5 pretty clearly. And har har on the rest.

What must it be like to have hair that's helmet-perfect?

That woman is terrifyingly focused. When she's at her husband's side listening to him speak, I can't keep my eyes off her. She's sending out rays.

Zayrina - I've got to find that Frieball show on Hulu or somewhere.
Tami - I know. And she wasn't always that way. She had curled bangs at one time and normak middle-class hair.
Big Dot - Oh, but when she's pissed you can really see her jaw set. Such as when Newt said all the candidates wives would make excellent first ladies.

Brilliant! The photo comparison is worthy of Stewart and Colbert!

Oh this is rich! Mitt the Muppet!
Those who know him personally say he is a nice guy, but we all know where nice guys end up, don't we.

Hattie - It was almost as good as the comparison between the sesame street soup muppet and RNC chairman Michael Steele:
