Don't go there, Donny . . . Donny Deutsch has opened a can of worms—or shall we say, a carton of Clairol.

On Morning Joe today, Deutsch suggested that it looks like Mitt Romney colors his hair, and argued that Americans would lose trust in a candidate who does. But could Deutsch possibly not know of the evidence that his guy Barack Obama has also grabbed the Grecian Formula on occasion?

View the video and photo evidence here.

Somebody should post the pictures of Bill Cinton and his multiple shades of gray hair. And his hair was very black in 1988 and then miraculously going gray in 1992 so he could look older and more mature.

He’s gonna really piss off 51% of the electorate with statements like that................

[Dr. Sivana]

Yeah, everyone lost trust in President Reagan, and his VERY quiet personal barber.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Reagan was a virtual walking billboard for Grecian Formula and that turned out okay.

[nuconvert]

haha...was he alive when Reagan was president?

[freekitty]

ROTFLOL Obama changes and Clinton was the most. He changed his to whatever actor role he was playing,

[Terry Mross]

That’s funny. But, count me in.

WTF is a Donny Deutsch and why should I give a rip what he/she/it says about “fashion”????

[goodolemr]

Boy, I suppose its the nature of cable tv, eventually stupid stuff will be said, but still, think before you talk.

The Rapist had a different hair color every day, depending upon the particular audience.

Donny Deutsch - sounds like a feminine hygiene product..............

This is definitely a blast from the past, but does anybody remember when Clinton's advisers were trying to equate him to Reagan during one of his famous "reinventions"? (I think it was after the Republican takeover but before the 1996 Election) They went as far as dyeing and styling his hair just like Reagan's. Thankfully, this trial balloon only lasted a couple weeks and was put to bed after plenty of teasing by conservative talk radio.

I smell desperation.

[old and tired]

I always figured Ronaldus Magnus colored his hair. Never bothered me then, doesn’t bother me now.

[wardaddy]

WASP wannabe speaks

yawn

[georgiegirl]

This is the very thing they accused Reagan of doing, coloring his hair! I remember it well.

Does Donny Deutsch Wear a Rug?

A couple of years ago, I used Grecian Formula daily. I knew the company I worked for was up for sale and new positions for guys my age were hard to come by especially if they looked like they were aging.

But I still kept getting calls from recruiters and my job didn't seem any less secure because I didn't seem to be aging.

Maybe I was lucky or in a good market or in a good field or something, but I figured out somebody must like my ability or resume whether my hair was graying or not. So I stopped with the charade.

I've still got half a bottle of unused Grecian Formula in my bathroom cabinet from that era. Anybody who wants it can Freepmail me and I'll give it to you for the cost of shipping.
