[...] Well, what else do you expect from a man who sued doctors while performing a psychic act, gets $400 haircuts and blames others, and uses the recurrence of his wife’s cancer to raise money? [...]

Global war on terror non-existent, says Edwards…

The Judge Report passes along this news item: Democrat John Edwards Wednesday repudiated the notion that there is a “global War on Terror,” calling it an ideological doctrine advanced by the Bush administration that has strained American military res…

“I wasn’t involved in it. But I’m the guy on top, so ultimately I’m responsible for it.”

Good grief. This ambulance chaser wants us to trust him with the world’s sole superpower.

Didn’t Bill Clinton once shut down an airport on the left coast for hours while some famous hair stylist came to Air Force One and gave him a trim?

Buzzy on May 22, 2007 at 12:25 AM

Sorta yes, sorta no. First, it was LAX, second, it didn’t shut down the entire airport, just two of the four runways, which are always closed off during an Air Force One visit. The arrival of Cristophe to cut Clinton’s hair caused an extra delay of 20 minutes. There were very minor impacts on air traffic.

So, in a reversal of CBS’s Memogate pattern, the commonly told story is true but inaccurate.

It might be interesting to juxtapose that denial with the video of him primping on camera. Then try telling me that man doesn’t care where he gets his hair cut.

Bullseye. Exactly what I thought. The guy micromanages his makeup artist before an appearance, and let’s others decide who will cut his hair? Not a chance.

[...] John “Two Americas” Edwards’ political tin ear keeps biting him in the behind. First there was the 28,000-square-foot house. Then came the $400 haircut. Then there was the assertion that he “wasn’t personally involved” in the haircut. And now it comes to light that he charged the University of California at Davis $55,000 for a speech … on poverty.

I paid $85 for my last haircut, at a medium-high end salon in downtown Oslo. This was actually a mistake, as I thought it was going to be around $65. Apparently the salon has new owners and the prices went up since the last time. The "SuperCuts" price around here is about $30. You know, if you're going to let Abdul Aziz put a razor to your head and call it a haircut - $30. If I go to the trendiest salons in Oslo, it would cost around $100 to get my hair cut. $100. In Oslo, one of the most expensive cities in the world. Does anyone see Boston (Manchester?) with its Pink Sapphire on that list? Hmmm? Ridiculous.

[...] Found this clip on Hot Air via Sister Toldjah What the hell can you say about this, he clearly thinks the American people are a bunch of stupid bastards who will simply ignore a presidential candidate who spends $400 on a fucken haircut while at the same time preach about his ability to “balance the budget” and be “fiscally” responsible. Only a Democrat can process this moronic way of thinking. [...]

He wasn’t going to pay for it until he got caught. The people who donated to the Edwards campaign paid for it unknowingly. Plus I do think that any man who gets a $400 haircut at the Pink Saphire is not really a man. This is also very damaging to him. That is why he is inclined to lie about it and pass the buck. And you are right, it is an indication of how fake he is. That is why it is so damaging to him. Not to mention he gets his haircuts at the PINK SAPHHIRE!!!!

Instinct is to joke about this, but I gotta say: I work with low character douches in the business world every day, who will blame “their secretary” or “administrative assistant” or anyone else not in the room when they eff up something important.

This is an indication that he is gutless, and of low character, generally. But we already knew both things.

Anyone that pays more than nothing to get their hair cut is getting ripped off.

Buy some electronic clippers and lock yourself in the bathroom until the job is done.

My wife has since hidden my clippers and forbidden me to do that again, but I’m with you.

I’m guessing Edwards has a full-time staff of four assigned to his hair.

Silky is looking a little frayed at the edges, isn’t he? Can we start calling him “Segolene” now? See, you had to think back didn’t you? That’s my point.

If we think a $400.00 haircut is an outrage, wait til we find out he pays $600.00 for his pedicures….sissy boy!

I personally could care less what he pays for his haircut. He can do whatever he wants, he can afford it. What I do have a problem with is that these liberals turn around and lie or make the most assinine excuses. For example, remember during the blackouts or the north-east. Hillary comes out publicly and says that the lights were off at her house too. Problem was, she lied! She had a backup generator running. It is perfectly acceptable for her to have a generator, but why lie over such an insignificant thing just to score political points. And why people don’t see this as an indication of how fake they really are is beyond me.

Paying $400 for a haircut is a status symbol. Fox and Friends brought in two stylists a couple weeks ago. One charges $350 for a cut and the other charged $30. One cut Doocy’s hair, the other cut Kilmeade’s. There wasn’t one iota of difference between the two except one got his hair cut by a flaming sissy-mary and could drop that name at liberal cocktail parties.

These rich, snob,elitist people who pay $400 for a haircut are the same ones who use illegal aliens to cut their grass for $4.

Is that why they want to unleash 20 million more illegals in this country? Maybe some of them can cut hair in addition to cutting grass.

He let someone else arrange a $400 haircut and didn’t protest…think of all the other ways he could have used $370 for his campaign, or anything else, really.

Silky can’t take responsibility for anything. He always gets advise on what course of action to take. And that apparently includes getting $400 dollar haircuts, voting for the war, his home energy consumption, and hiring (and subsequently firing) the two fem-bigot bloggers. This is so, even if his “gut feeling” tells him otherwise (and according to him, that always seems to happen).

And some people will actually vote for a moron who can’t even be trusted to “arrange” his own hair cut. Didn’t Bill Clinton once shut down an airport on the left coast for hours while some famous hair stylist came to Air Force One and gave him a trim?

Someone else arranges my ridiculous haircuts…oh yeah. This is prime presidential material here. Real ‘buck stops here’ mentality. He won’t even take credit for a haircut; can you imagine trying to nail him down on a course of action on something important? Man, I thought we had the lamest bunch of a$$clown candidates on our side. Then again, haircut investigations and outraged speeches about grooming costs is about the most serious thing I would trust those turdballs in Congress with.
