The $400 Haircut
Did John Edwards get his money's worth?


http://www.slate.com/id/2164520?GT1=9330


I love the excesses from those who profess to represent the common man. I guess they figure that the 'common man' is a real dupe', 'cause he apparently spent their campaign donation dollars for these haircuts, elsewise they would not have been reported.

So what?.....
I would consider it an 'advertising expenditure'........
What should he have spent it on?....
& he has all ready got free press off of it!....
$800 would probably buy 1 second of ad time, if you are lucky.....
I see it as a wise investment......​

Just more of the regular BS propaganda from Boom. I heard that W gave him taxpayers money as a bribe to keep him from exposing a "confidential" tape in which W is heard stating that he knows his new Iraq plan won't work. He goes on to say he(W) implemented it just to get through the remainder of his term. It has to be true.

What do you care if he spends $400 on a haircut? Such petty stuff from you Boom. And all this time you have spoken as though you were above it. It's tough to grasp thin air, isn't it?

It has to be bull, CJY. You seem willing to buy into any lie they can think up.

Yer probably right here Bro Haut. His purdy looks, n' smooooooooth Lawyerly ambulance chasin' style are his primary assetts, (along with his ability to very skillfully exploit his own family's tragedies to hook all those people who never think about anything rational but FEEL their way through life). He is the most dangerous of the Big Three Dems, (with by far the most destructive stated policies). 'Course he could be lyin' as many Lawyers do from time to time, (one could only hope if he actually get elected). VERY SCARRY PROPOSITION FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY. JR

Re: Another example of style over substance.

JB, you are a bit gullable today. With all the BS Boom dreams up, I decided to make some up of my own.

So yes, it is not true. I did not buy it though, I made it up. And then on the hook, I found you.

Ann Coulter said it was payoff for not exposing his gay lover.

Yes lets talk about Edwards haircut, we have Attorney General Gonzales squirming in his seat today before the US Senate, trying to explain the lies he has told them in the past, but lets talk about Edwards haircut.

We have Rep. John Doolittle, R-Calif.,he has decided to temporarily give up his seat on the House Appropriations Committee after FBI agents searched his house as part of a congressional influence-peddling, but we have more important issues before us such as The price of Edwards haircut.That is the same seat which he used to help steer $37 million to Brent Wilkes that is the guy accused of bribing Duke Cunningham, and another $400,000 to Abramoff,s client, the government of the Mariana?s Islands.

I guess if I were a Republican, with all of this corruption, its possible I would be looking too deflect some of the attention away from the corruption, and possibly get it on to something besides as of the scandals. Aren?t there some issues that you can dredge up besides a haircut?? Come-on Boom use a little imagination, ?good grief? I can think of a better one than a haircut, but im not going too give it to ya.

Come on now Rubber. You have much more class, (in fact you are not even comparable to the other poster). I know you are joking, but PLEASE do not get in the gutter with someone who admits he just makes up carp to hook someone who is trying to moderate civil debate here on DC, (which most of us appreciate his hard work). Why ever read or reply to someone who admits they are here just to waste all our time with false charges designed to defame. This same person luvs to label other members with junk Liberal 'hate labels' to cause as much harm to the discourse here on DC as possible, REMEMBER? Why would someone just make up stuff to just waste time and broadband is beyond me. This is NOT directed at you: Rubber MY FRIEND! JR

Man, I've really been chastised today... my buddies say I'm in the gutter... the mods edit me for veing "just a little too vulgar." I've really got to clean up my act.

Instead of giving up his seat he should be made committee chairman. After all, thats what the Democrats would do.

Its good to see that you agree with me that there more important issues than a mans hair cut.

I see you have a dislike for the tactics of your far right friends. Good.

Actually, I thought it was quite obvious that I was doing little more than playing the same make-believe game Boom enjoys so much. Especially after I had just said his statement regarding where the $400 came from nothing more than propaganda. Your emotions must be getting the best of you these days.

BTW RF, this is not directed at you. Tell your friend he makes me laugh though. Sorry, I guess I figured I had to communicate through you too.

Yeah, CJY. It was no big deal. I guess that is why Edwards decided to reimburse his campaign and pay for the haircuts himself. After all, heck, it was probably no more money that he has to pay a month for his electric bill.

Oh, BTW, I forgot to mention. Edwards' campaign manager said it was just a mistake that they paid for them anyway. The hair stylist had sent the bill to headquarters and some flunky went ahead and paid them.

Ya Right! Bears fly too.

You heard? with no evidence? I took you wrong at first, thought you were serious, lol, you got me.

Re: Another example of style over substance.

A trial lawyer that made over 60 million in such short years, and carbons up a 45000 sf mansion- don't you think he short-changed his clients, and took too much of their settlement?

That's right tree. Just ignore the fact they were paid for using campaign funds.

No they were not. You said he reimbursed the campaign.

BTW, I am willing to bet he is the only politician to ever misspend campaign funds.

Just so I don't have another fish jump in my boat, that last statement, I was kidding. Wardens been on my butt, I cannot afford to get caught exceeding the limits he sets for me.
