John Bolton's Hair: No Brush With Greatness (WHAT ABOUT HILLARY's BODY?)
The Washington Post ^ | 4-15-05 | Robin Givhan

Posted on 04/15/2005 3:28:10 PM PDT by GianniV

John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, desperately needs a haircut. It does not have to be a $600 Sally Hershberger cut. Bolton simply needs the basics. Tidy the curling, unruly locks at the nape of his neck, tame the volume at the crown, reel in the wings flapping above his ears, and broker a compromise between his sand-colored mop and his snow-colored mustache.

He needs to do this, not because he should be minding the recommendations of men's fashion magazines or grooming experts but because when he settled in before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee this week to answer questions about his record, his philosophy and his intentions at the U.N., he looked as though he did not even have enough respect for the proceedings to bother combing his hair -- or, for that matter, straightening his tie, or wearing a shirt that did not put his neck in a chokehold. Bolton was one wrinkled suit away from being an insolent mess.

These are not flaws or imperfections of nature. This is not a cruel attempt to hold an everyday man to the standards of an airbrushed model or a nipped and tucked actor. This is a matter of personal style.

Bolton sat across from his questioners with a thick, dull slab of hair positioned diagonally across his forehead. It is tempting to say that he has a sloppy schoolboy's haircut, but that would malign studious young men and suggest that they are dismissive of propriety and the importance of making a good public impression. Looking back to Bolton's school days at Yale, one notices that he was better groomed in his younger years......

The moustache is apparently his. The rest is probably his 'cause he paid for it.

Her hair looks okay, though!

Does she have hair? I can not see a single hair in that picture.

I wonder if she ever wrote about Thunder Thighs Halfbright and her ugly brooches, ugly hats, and three-sizes-too-small skirts? Mad Maddie sitting on a stage in a too-short skirt with her legs crossed was a sight to behold! Crazy Khadaffy had a crush on her at one point.

Yes, her hair is pulled back.

Don't you just love the utilitarian black wristwatch with her dressy outfit? Can you believe anybody pays this woman to write about fashion?

Lovely.

It matches her purse. Too bad it doesn't match her shoes.

Robin Givhans and MoDo. Mean girls never do grow up, they just go on to write for the MSM. What a shallow little baggage.

Hey, have a heart and tell the lady that somebody stole her dress and she's standing around in her slip . . .

Wait just a minute.....wasn't it the WaPo that was criticizing Condi Rice just last month for being too stylin'? Dang, I wish these leftists would make up what little exists in their minds.

Bolton's got "I ain't no metrosexual" written all over him. Cool!

It's also the same idiot who did the hatchet piece on Dick Cheney's clothing at Auschwitz, when it was about 20 below zero.

He does look like a rabid Capitan Kangaroo.

LOL! But he's our rabid Captain Kangaroo.

And the UN definitely needs a rabid ambassador who doesn't take any doodoo from Kofi and his pals.

Exactly. So let him have his style and you can have yours.

Sheesh. Darn fashion police.

Give the guy a breat MSM. Maybe Bolton did not have $250 and the power to stop air trafic at LAX so he could get a haircut as nice Bubba's.

he has GOT to be wearing a wig. i mean- his mustache is milk-white. what are the odds that his hair would naturally remain brown like this?

I don't think the WashingPost was criticizing Dr. Rice. It sounded more like... heavy breathing. Like the reporter was typing one-handed as he wrote it. Knowhatahmean?

Well, that could be. But, I seem to recall a rather snide (she looks like a dominatrix?) tone to the whole thing.

It fully shows how vacuous and shallow these people are.

They have no policy issues to discuss - just how the guy looks .. how juvenile.

Well, it isn't Michael Bolton hair but not too many people can acheive THAT greatness.
