Edwards, his hair, and yes his Compact.

You just wont believe this one! HAHAHAH



slate.msn.com...

Seconds from the football and you want this?

"For a guy who's been known derisively to the Bush crowd as the Breck girl," observes Shearer, vice presidential candidate John Edwards seems "way too interested in his hair." He tries to straighten it with his fingers. A makeup technician approaches with a comb, but the senator likes it just so and does the combing himself. He signals he's ready for hair spray by closing his eyes expectantly, like a child. Then Edwards and the technician straighten a little more with their fingers. Please don't tell me that thing in his hand is a compact. Oh, dear. It is.

If it means I have to carry a compac and have some woman besides my wife fiddling with the part in my hair and whether my tie is straight.

I'm sure all candidates and indeed all "TV people" must live this way, to a lesser or greater extend.

Living in a bubble of doting sycophants.

Watching it reminds me of the Rush song "Living in the Limelight." (Guess my age, now.)

I hope I am always either so poor, or so earthshakingly powerful, that I never have to wear makeup or let someone besides my beloved touch my person. The last person who touched my hair like that was was my mom right before the Christmas pageant in the 2nd grade.

I growled at her until she backed away.

Is ANYTHING worth being fake for? I know it's expected of our leaders, but still. I actively discourage my wife from wearing makeup since her skin is lovelier without it. But she claims other women look down on her for being "naked," and in stores the female clerks follow her like she's a potential shoplifter when she doesn't wear makeup.

It is sad. Locke was right. The only two natural virtues are force and fraud. Wearing makeup, hairspray, etc. in nothing but fraud.

I highly recommend the most viewed and highest grossing documentary of all time this piece is attempting to "answer" in it's own small way. F911 has about a 20 minute montage of the entire Bush cabinet getting ready for "war." Each one from Bush down to Rice covered in dainty doilys, being fawned over by homosexual hairdressers and girly makeup artists caking on the humanity as a guffawing Ashcroft chimes Make me Purty!, Cheney submits to his 'air being combed, and Wolfowitz takes his own comb out and repeatedly spits on it to comb back his loverly locks, before a male aid licks his own fingers to fix Deary Paul's hair. Perhaps the saddest juxtipostion to date is Bush on camera going straight from makeup, to smirking jokes, to the countdown for his live broadcast (when he suddenly gets "manly" and serious) to announce the bombing of Bagdhad has begun. You do get quite a look behind the scenes and into the "fakeness" of it all in this FauxNews world we live in, so if a candidate combing his hair rates 10 LOL's in your book, I'd say Farhenheit 911 would literally bust your gut and blow your mind.

I still chuckle a bit thinking about Wolfowitz covered in man spit, but I tend to give the low brow stuff a single at best. But you? You'd love it Ed. Like 100 LOL's or more, no doubt.

So, what's Cheney do with his hair? Oh wait, has none, he just slaps on some Turtle Wax and sticks his head in a bowling ball buffer for a second.

Ed is attempting to be funny while still belittling the democratic campaigne. Thats all. Three weeks ago, I would have laughed, but there is so much wining about candidates, that even the humor fails to lighten my mood on these political threads.

Except Gazroks post I saw that in his other threadLOVED IT!

IITS TIME TO VOOTE ONCE AAAGIANNNN!!!
