Oh so pretty…

Did anyone else notice Desperate Housewives’ own James Denton standing behind former Sen. John Edwards during his concession speech last night?

I most certainly did.

Here’s a note to the Edwards’ campaign: Don’t let someone prettier than you stand behind you on national television.

(Note: Scroll down the page to find the link to Edwards’ concession speech. RealPlayer software must be installed to play this video.)

I must say I was more than a little distracted, even if the candidate on the stage has hair that would make makers of hair product commercials envious.

Denton, whose Desperate character recently became a junkie who entered rehab, was clad in a navy blue “Steelworkers for Edwards” T-shirt, and even a shapeless T-shirt was able to make Denton nearly jump off the telelvision screen.

It can be great when celebrities show their support for a presidential candidate, because they are able to harness society’s overwhelming dependence on celebrity gossip for a good cause.

But Sen. Edwards, for your own sake, next time you should probably choose someone that looks something like this.
