Lisa Schiffren on the National Review Web site, regarding a photo of Julie Nixon Eisenhower contributing to the Obama campaign: “given the linked picture, perhaps the fact that she looks like a carbon copy of her mother — a bit mad, but with a little more iron about the jaw — suggests that she is not her father’s daughter after all. The picture is more shocking than the deed.”

Is Schiffren suggesting that Eisenhower doesn’t follow her father’s politics? If that’s all it is, what does her mother’s picture have to do with it (because politics, astonishingly, isn’t something that’s passed down genetically with the bone structure).

Is she implying that Eisenhower is literally not Nixon’s daughter? In which case does she think Pat Nixon cheated on Dick or simply cloned herself?

And what’s so shocking about supporting Obama over McCain?
