John Edwards’ $400 Haircut Disqualifies Him As A Serious Presidential Candidate
From the Associated Press:
“Looking pretty is costing John Edwards’ presidential campaign a lot of pennies.
The Democrat’s campaign committee picked up the tab for two haircuts at $400 each by celebrity stylist Joseph Torrenueva of Beverly Hills, Calif., according to a financial report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
FEC records show Edwards also availed himself of $250 in services from a trendy salon and spa in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 in services from the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H., which is described on its Web site as ‘a unique boutique for the mind, body and face’ that caters mostly to women.”
Democratic Presidential candidate, John Edwards, frequently laments the widening gulf between the rich and the poor. He announced that he was running for president in New Orleans, in an effort to identify with the poor and disenfranchised.
Edwards, a self-appointed champion of the poor, plucked down $400 for a bloomin’ haircut. Millions of working poor don’t even make that much in a week flipping burgers or washing cars.
John Edwards, who has somewhat fey mannerisms, would do well to avoid a boutique, named the Pink Sapphire, that caters mostly to women.
Edwards’ $400 haircut disqualifies him as a serious candidate for president. No matter how eloquently Edwards speaks on behalf of the poor, we will be staring at his expensive hairdo.

It just amazes me to watch Democrats constantly yelp about the Republican party being the party of the “rich” while they get $400 haircuts, live in 10,000 square foot homes (Edwards again) and party with the rich and famous of Hollywood. There are also more rich Democrats holding major office then rich Republicans. What is more amazing is to watch the rank and file Democrat voters completely fall for this “stick it to the rich, we’re for the little guy” nonsense Democrat politicians sell. Quite a nice little slight of hand these Democrat politicians have sold their constituents, pretend to be for the “little guy” and spew out all kinds of populist slogans about the “poor and middle class” all the while hoping the “little guy” doesn’t notice how much money these slick Democrat politicians are sticking in their pockets. How rich are the Clintons now, btw?

Who gives a ratsass about they guy’s haircut? We should be more concerned that payment isn’t coming directly out of his own pocket.
