That is a good one.

We have not seen it in a while ?

Thank you.

What is interesting about Edwards is that many people I have spoken to like him. My father is a lifelong liberal who used to want Hillary. Now he doesn’t want her, like Edwards instead. Similarly a 88-year old friend of the family also wanted Hillary for years now today she said she wants “nothing to do with her. She wants power, nothing else”. Obama is too inexperienced for her. She prefers Edwards. Very interesting.

Thank you. I haven’t done many on him, this is the best I believe.

Does anyone else remember Roger Jepson? He was a one-term Senator. He went to a "massage" parlor, and paid with a credit card. His opponent got a copy of that credit card receipt, and that was the end of Jepson's political career.

Jepson did have a reputation as one of the dumbest men in the Senate. Edwards talks a better game. But he's not much brighter than Jepson, as Hairgate demonstrates.

He is satirist’s dream target

Running just behind Hillary!

I could not think up and bigger ship of fools then the democrats have launched

[ship of fools ]

That’s an idea for a graphic!

[devolve]

And a great movie title too!

That may give you some material

There is also the Titanic.gif - it might come in handy

I think I have a perfect ‘ship’. Today I found a site with ‘cute’ background images and saved a number of them.

Yes - I knew about the movie but don’t recall what it’s about.

“They want to come here because people like me ... the son of a mill worker ... can now be running for president and paying $400 for a haircut,” Edwards said to loud laughter.

I guess this is soft-pedaling his open-border plan for us.

Interesting that this seems to have overshadowed the sympathy thing with his wife's cancer.

[George W. Bush]

...And they probably would have, except that some low-level researcher at Hillary's campaign probably dug it up looking over his FEC filings for just this kind of embarrassing info, sent it up the chain, and Hillary's high command gave it to them with orders to put it on the front page.

I think you're right. This reeks of She Who Must Not Be Elected.

[george76]

This does smell like a clinton secret police job outing the $400 haircut...like the zinc mining against al gore last month.

I think that Edwards is the most dangerous of the (D) candidates. Hillary!'s negatives are too high and Obama doesn't have the experience...IMHO, Obama is setting himself up for a run later on in his career.

Edwards is good-looking (got to court that female vote) and articulate. Sort of a John F. Kennedy-Lite.

BUT, if Edwards continues to shoot himself in the foot with poor staffing choices (he needs to muzzle his wife) and poor haircut choices....he'll be an also-ran, and quickly. One big indicator is that people (other than kneejerk Dems) here in his home state of NC don't like him. He also needs to dump this whole "Two Americas" idea, particularly if he sets out to prove himself right on a daily basis with $400 haircuts. There are a large number of Americans that don't see $400 in a week....

Yep, there sure are "Two Americas": one where people pay $7.50 for a harcut and those who shell out $400.

My first husband used to cut our sons’ hair like that. He was pretty good. My second one goes to my hairdresser and she’s really good at getting his hair very close to his skull! It’s as straight as a pin and she’s the first one who’s been able to make it look good. I love your tagline. The more kids the better!

[Westbrook]

> I love your tagline. The more kids the better!

Yup. We’ve got 11, by the mercy and grace of God.

2 married, and 9 still at home. The youngest 9 are all being homeschooled now.

We’ll be celebrating our 31st anniversary this year, by God’s grace.

Praise God! My tax man is on his 11th (they were going to stop at 10 but....smile). When you go to their house to get your taxes done, there is no commotion. The kids are quiet and well behaved. Four of them are out of the house and now this new one is coming. They welcome their children AND homeschool them. Tis wonderful to want and care for all those children. I give you my admiration and deepest respect.
