New Theory.
This theory was triggered by the White House Press Secretary's resignation:

Scott McClellan had no facial hair and is going bald, yet I had the distinct impression that he was hiding all kinds of stuff. I'd put more faith in full disclosure from Cousin It.
But you know what? You may be right. We need to go back to the days of Radio, pre Nixon/Kennedy debates.
Three people w/ facial hair I'd completely trust:
Lincoln, Santa Claus, and our "imperialist" picture version of Jesus.
There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women, and I am neither one."
—Greek saying
"How womanly it is for one who is a man to comb himself and shave himself with a razor, for the sake of fine effect, and to arrange his hair at the mirror, shave his cheeks, pluck hairs out of them, and smooth them! He adorned man like the lions, with a beard, and endowed him as an attribute of manhood, with a hairy chest--a sign of strength and rule." St. Clement of Alexandria, 2.275 (one of my son's namesakes)
If a hairy chest is a sign of strength and rule, I should be President by now.
