Video: Silky’s wife touts “unbelievable toughness” of man with $400 haircut
posted at 12:27 pm on July 18, 2007 by Allahpundit
Something to meditate on the next time a cutting quip from Ann Coulter sends him scurrying for his coffee cup to beg for spare sympathy change. It’s high time they got Elizabeth Edwards fully into the act, though: she’s sympathetic to the mainstream because she’s a mom and, of course, a cancer survivor, and she’s sympathetic to the nutroots because she’s quite the ardent nutroot herself, as they all well know. Besides, she’s got a way with words. It’s a no-brainer.

She thinks we need a president who can “stare the worst in the face, and not blink.”
I’ll be looking foward to reading this thread later! Carry on!
RushBaby on July 18, 2007 at 12:37 PM
“Someone who can stare the worst in the face and not blink?” The “Let’s run away screaming” candidate?
Riiiight.
Pablo on July 18, 2007 at 12:38 PM
He can stare the worst in the face, and not blink…….unless its FOX NEWS!
ctmom on July 18, 2007 at 12:38 PM
Look, let’s stop f-ing around.
No one is evergoing to elect this boy/man president. Have fun if you like, but get a grip.
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Well, I’m a mother too and God willing will also be a cancer survivor, so I will be expecting everyone here to start taking every pearl that drops from my keyboard as God’s own truth.
Don’t mess with me, I’m telling you. I might cry, and then y’all will feel really bad.
:)
Bob's Kid on July 18, 2007 at 12:39 PM
I hope the American voters are smart enough not to vote for someone based on platitudes alone.
imshocked on July 18, 2007 at 12:39 PM
Stare the worse in the face and not blink.
A deer in the headlights does that,too.
Can he stare without twirling his hair at least once?
naliaka on July 18, 2007 at 12:40 PM
“Someone who can stare the worst in the face and…” say, “You should not be wearing white after labor day.”
amerpundit on July 18, 2007 at 12:41 PM
“Someone who can stare the worst in the face and not blink.”
Is she referring to Hillary?
Zach on July 18, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Yeah he really showed his toughness when he fired/rehired/fired those bloggers. …er..
how bout the time he stood up to the tough questions from the Fox News debate moderators …er…
how bout the time he stood up to that nasty neighbor …er..
how bout the time he battled the crowds at WalMart to get his kid a Wii … no i mean..
that time he held his breath for 20 seconds while the stylist sprayed the AquaNet — NOW THAT WAS TOUGH! What a guy!
kooly on July 18, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Remember the 2000 vice-presidential debates? Not so tough then. Cheney handed him his head on a platter. Edwards tried to act tough, but it was just an act.
Snidely Whiplash on July 18, 2007 at 12:44 PM
Is that a code that Silky will be meeting with Rosie, Cindy, Mikey, Nancy, and Harry?
Mallard T. Drake on July 18, 2007 at 12:50 PM
ya’ll are so mean! ;-P
Chuck in Detroit on July 18, 2007 at 12:51 PM
We already take all the pearls from your keyboard as God’s honest truth. :)
Good luck with your treatment!
JadeNYU on July 18, 2007 at 12:54 PM
It really is UN-BELIEVABLE. That’s why I don’t believe it. Thanks for clearing that up silky #2.
df4jc on July 18, 2007 at 12:58 PM
I defy you to produce a lengthy, serious thread about John Edwards. Impossible!
I rest my case. Dukakis II
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:01 PM
Hey, It takes a tough man to be so in touch with his feminine side he isn’t embarrassed when it comes out he spent $1200 on a haircut!
Seriously, does anybody think Edwards is remotely competitive as either the POTUS or VEEP candidate? Isn’t going to happen. Elizabeth Edwards has demonstrated that she would be an even bigger witch as first lady than (s)hrillary was but that does not make Edwards appear presidential. It just makes the both of them look like pathetic losers.
highhopes on July 18, 2007 at 1:02 PM
I’m pretty sure that the “worst” that Silky has to face is a chipped nail. Even then he’d blink unless his 18 layers of makeup and botox treatment prevented him from doing so.
Hollowpoint on July 18, 2007 at 1:03 PM
If only my students would!
And thanks. :)
Bob's Kid on July 18, 2007 at 1:03 PM
So, if Edwards gets elected President, will she be his Press Secretary?
Nethicus on July 18, 2007 at 1:04 PM
“Someone who can stare the worst in the face and not blink.”
I don’t care if he blinks, I just want him to stop running home to his
mommmywife and hiding behind her when some woman calls him mean names.John Edwards…scared of Ann Coulter and Fox News but ready to take on al Qaeda!
Drew on July 18, 2007 at 1:05 PM
This clown couldn’t even get his own party to re-nominate him for a second term in the Senate and now he’s making his second run for the White House. Is this a great country or what?
Frank Nitti on July 18, 2007 at 1:06 PM
Edwards is such a p***y. I mean seriously, I’m embarrassed for him.
This situation reminds me of a few years back when Kurt Warner’s wife began calling in to sports talk shows saying they should lay off her husband because he really is a good QB and it just makes her mad as the dickens when people say he’s not.
Memo to all dudes everywhere: If you really are hard core, you don’t send your lady out to handle your fight.
Blacksheep on July 18, 2007 at 1:06 PM
Anybody who puts his wife out on the front line to try to prove how tough he is makes me wonder.
I must admit, though, that he looks kinda’ cute in those designer blue jeans. Did I say cute? er… I meant kinda’ tough!
OBX Pete on July 18, 2007 at 1:08 PM
Dear Senator Edwards,
During the State of the Union Address on January 23, I was a bit embarrassed to find myself the center of a national laugh fest when my blinking rate was clocked at 70 blinks per minute. Confidentially, the problem was that new mascara you loaned me. I’m not mad at you any more, which is why I am writing to warn you to steer clear of that brand of mascara!
Yours truly,
Nancy Pelosi
p.s. Don’t Blink.
p.p.s. You could campaign on that!
RushBaby on July 18, 2007 at 1:09 PM
MSM support adds 10%. For Silky, at 10%, it means he has NO popular support. For Romney, at 10%, it means he gets 20.
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:09 PM
John Edwards is a manly man, Men’s Vogue told me.
Bad Candy on July 18, 2007 at 1:10 PM
Don’t give p***y a bad name by associating it with him.
I know which one I like better.
OBX Pete on July 18, 2007 at 1:12 PM
We do too. cute in designer jeans!
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:15 PM
Nice. Way to bring it home.
Mallard T. Drake on July 18, 2007 at 1:16 PM
So I take it then, Elizabeth Edwards, that Fox News is worse than your supposed “the worse.”
You know, Obama’s wife was grating, but Elizabeth Edwards is really pushing the envelope when it comes to busybody candidate wives.
Do we still have those absolute moral authority cards?
BKennedy on July 18, 2007 at 1:18 PM
I can’t really believe I’m saying this, but she strikes me as preferable to T. Heinz Kerry.
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:20 PM
OBX Pete on July 18, 2007 at 1:12 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
/but terribly inapropriate
HAHAHHAHAHHAHA
sunny on July 18, 2007 at 1:21 PM
She’s easier on the eyes and the ears, but even a succubus and a siren are monsters.
BKennedy on July 18, 2007 at 1:23 PM
“Stare the worse in the face and not blink.”
So…. what happens when he looks in the mirror?
dbdiva on July 18, 2007 at 1:23 PM
I love your style; welcome to HotAir. Here, let me fix that collar for ya…
There you go.
Jaibones on July 18, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Elizabeth is a tough act to follow. Too bad for John.
Dusty on July 18, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Does Johnny use this?
Libby, why does he spend obviously soo much more on his hair than you spend on yours?
Mazztek on July 18, 2007 at 1:29 PM
Damn, I love it when you speak french.
and tks. Jai
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:35 PM
I always wondered why Bill got elected, twice. Now I know.
Heh.
IrishEyes on July 18, 2007 at 1:48 PM

I can’t really believe I’m saying this, but she strikes me as preferable to T. Heinz Kerry.
JiangxiDad on July 18, 2007 at 1:20 PM
—
Naw. Hillary Clinton takes the prize for busybody candidate wives.
Co-President.
Took the V.P.’s office.
Parlayed WIFE into SENATOR now seeks PRESIDENCY based on the fact that she is married to an Ex-President. Bill IS on the campaign for her – “Vote for Hillary, she’s MY wife and I’ll be back in the White House if she wins.”
naliaka on July 18, 2007 at 1:57 PM
That old geezer, Elizabeth Edwards, has no credibility anyway, right???
She has a HAWT trophy husband, after all.
seejanemom on July 18, 2007 at 1:59 PM
OH, GAAAAWD.
PASS THE SIC-SAK, will ya?
Somebody hold my hair>>>>>>>>>>>>>
seejanemom on July 18, 2007 at 2:02 PM
Yeah , “tough” … as in “I’ll smack you with my purse” tough.
Tony737 on July 18, 2007 at 2:03 PM
Good lord! I nearly lost my lunch. That little wimp Edwards is about as tough as a scoop of soft ice cream. What a bunch of crap.
rplat on July 18, 2007 at 2:04 PM
This guy is an ambulance chaser and a complete phoney. Hard to believe that so many Americans are stupid enopugh to lap his slop up. The only thing he cares about is maintaining his ego trip in the Whitehouse.
Boy what a sorry bunch of presidential candidates this go round on both sides.
saiga on July 18, 2007 at 2:12 PM
A good lesson in how to be accurate and deceptive at the same time.
Re: the Fox debate, she’s right – John didn’t blink. He just turned tail and ran away before he even had a chance to blink.
eeyore on July 18, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Ding, ding, ding. You win the prize!
The Race Card on July 18, 2007 at 2:24 PM
Both Edwards and his wife are assholes.
georgej on July 18, 2007 at 2:27 PM
What a terrible way for her to spend her remaining time on planet earth. She used to have a conscience.
Mojave Mark on July 18, 2007 at 2:35 PM
georgej said it. Not me.
……..teehee………
seejanemom on July 18, 2007 at 2:35 PM
I don’t know what’s sadder.
The fact she has cancer and John and and thinks she blessed.
Kini on July 18, 2007 at 2:41 PM
And for me, too!
(What is with Silky that he has to have his wife do all the talking?
Is she his mother?)
Jen the Neocon on July 18, 2007 at 2:42 PM
Silky’s wife says he’s tough.
Ladies, if you’re a sucker for that one… my mom says I’m handsome.
E-mail me now while I’m still single.
gekkobear on July 18, 2007 at 2:44 PM
Anyone who John Kerry thinks is a scary phony has to be so off the charts that it’s beyond the perception of us here.
Phony Pony
Hening on July 18, 2007 at 2:51 PM
No he’s not!
Yes he is!
No he’s not!
Yes he is!
No he’s not!
Yes he is!
No he’s not!
Well I say he is Dammit!
Funny she should say how tough a man is that she castrated.
Speakup on July 18, 2007 at 2:52 PM
John Edwards is the quintessential girly man wimp.
mcgilvra on July 18, 2007 at 2:54 PM
That’s why the best he could manage in ’04 was Flipper’s second fiddle.
Freelancer on July 18, 2007 at 3:00 PM
My Aussie shepherd can do that, does what he is told, our neighbors like him, he has prettier hair, and he lives in a house in N.C. Sounds like a candidate to me.
right2bright on July 18, 2007 at 3:00 PM
“Someone who can stare the worst in the face and not blink”?
So he did look in the mirror after channeling the souls of little children.
csdeven on July 18, 2007 at 3:07 PM
It’s unbelievable alright.
Dash on July 18, 2007 at 3:14 PM
You had the headline all backwards….It’s silky’s husband.
commonsensehoosier on July 18, 2007 at 3:16 PM
Difference is, John’s neighbors don’t like him (nor he them), so is your Aussie shepherd a better candidate?
eeyore on July 18, 2007 at 3:40 PM
Someone who can stare the worst in the face and not blink…
When a suspected intruder broke into our multi million dollar mansion… John took it upon himself to warn our servants, by running through our halls of wealth, screaming so high pitched that he did hundreds of thousands worth of damage to our imported glass. Upon tripping over the antique hair care buffet, John valiantly defended his family by curling up in the fetal position, and in a cloud of hairspray, blinded the suspected intruder. Not just any man can stand an aerosol blast of that nature and not blink.
My name is John Edwards and I support getting a divorce if I don’t get the nomination.
christophercube on July 18, 2007 at 4:01 PM
He did, he stared the worst haircut in the face and said, “Ya’ll will nowt be own ma hayid.”
srhoades on July 18, 2007 at 4:09 PM
He won’t be fooled: “Ya’ll will nowt be puttin’ thayt four dalla CON-ditiona in ma hayir.”
srhoades on July 18, 2007 at 4:11 PM
The dead and afflicted don’t blink, Ms. Edwards.
Please advise….
Randy
williars on July 18, 2007 at 4:38 PM
John Edwards is so brave, he once used a can of hairspray on its expiration date. Courage, my friends. Courage.
ReubenJCogburn on July 18, 2007 at 4:45 PM
30 years and the whole she supports gay marriage he doesn’t never came up? He’s tough. She fights his fights. He can’t fight her either. Oh and Amanda Marcotte. I thought from a story before we were supposed to just say her name when this empty suit came up.
PowWow on July 18, 2007 at 5:14 PM
According to Ms. Breck Girl, her gorgeous husband’s health care plan will totally cover abortions. Then anyone can quietly rid themselves of unwanted helpless people for free!
Oh, wait…
it won’tbe free — I’ll be paying for it!
Mephistefales on July 18, 2007 at 5:19 PM
She’s nuts. He’s nowhere near as tough as the other two fellows running for the libtard nomination…
JWS on July 18, 2007 at 5:44 PM
They live in the Chapel Hill area. Trust this Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) resident when I tell you that John Edwars oozes testosterone compared to the liberal pansies that live in Chapel Hill.
SouthernGent on July 18, 2007 at 6:15 PM
[JWS on July 18, 2007 at 5:44 PM]
Damn right. Heck, Gravel has more gravitas in his left eyebrow than all that Johny-boy can summon.
The Edwards’ have a better chance of occupying the WH if Elizabeth runs. Silky only wears the pants because Elizabeth lets him.
Dusty on July 18, 2007 at 6:52 PM
He’s gotta make sure every hair is in place while he’s kicking ass! BWahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DfDeportation on July 18, 2007 at 7:57 PM
Absolutly, that was the point I failed to make, all the attributes plus the neighbors like him. My dog has more gravitas than Edwards.
right2bright on July 18, 2007 at 8:35 PM
Dusty on July 18, 2007 at 6:52 PM
LOL. That’s true but I was referring to barry and Hillary…
JWS on July 18, 2007 at 8:52 PM
Is this the ground work to rachet up a tough stance on homeland security? I guess this means appropriations to creat a bumper sticker removal task force. Edwards is playing his base like a Stradivarius. He’s a charlatan and profiteer. We need to examine the results of 40 years of the great society. We need to do a study on every aspect including the accounting of each recipients accounts. There also has been phone number amounts spent for housing that is still at ghetto standards. I call for accountability.
sonnyspats1 on July 18, 2007 at 10:03 PM
Who in the Edwards family is actually running for POTUS? In the last few weeks it seems to be Elizabeth.
Who in the Clinton’s family is actually the one being voted for 3rd term as POTUS?
It seems the DEMs are moving towards co-POTUS.
