#1 There are two Americas: one in which people pay $400 for high-end haircuts, and another where the people have too much common sense to pay $400 for something you could get for $19.95 at BoRics.

#2 I think it is time to stick a fork in this turkey - oh yeah, he's done.

Dead man walking.

But - the more of these losers who keep hanging on, the better the chance that they will cripple one another as they backstab and browbeat one another.

#3 Hey, if he can afford a $400 haircut, more power to him.
But knock off that "Two America's" bullshit, like your one of the good old boys, because we don't have $400 haircuts in mine...

#4 Hmm I pay $12 once a month to have the Barber buzz off my hair. I remember back in Song Tong Si you could get a "Full" haircut for $20 in the late 1980s. What did the Breck girl get for the $400 haircut?

#5 Wow. I guess I'm either blind or I wasn't paying attention.

I don't think I want anybody in the WH or Congress who is so disconnected that they think a $400 haircut is OK.

I think people in these positions should be paid a lot less. And monitored so that they and their friends don't "benefit" any more than anyone else from being in their positions. The whole thing has just gotten so out of hand from what our founding fathers envisioned.

#6 I know some people who would vote for a guy who gets his hair done at the Pink Sapphire Salon, but not too many.

#7 Mr. Edwards lives in a circle where appearance is critical. No doubt Mrs. Edwards spends similar amounts on her haircuts, then again on getting the colour touched up, again to have her legs waxed every other week, again for a weekly manicure and pedicure... Remember when President Clinton had Air Force One held over before take-off for a few hours until his hairdresser popped in from wherever to give his hair a quick trim? I seem to recall that trim cost thousands. I don't even want to think about what Mrs Heinz-Kerry spends to make her pet Senator look so pretty. The Democratic presidential candidates seem to think that having better hair is a selling point for voters, so of course they spend a lot on that -- it's an investment, dontchaknow.

She should demand her money back - it ain't working.

#9 I know many people who pay less than $400 a month for rent.

#10 The choice of song on the video is perfect.

#11 Let's be fair for a moment: lots of Republican office-holders get a weekly trim, and I bet that their favorite barber Luigi does it on-site. Dubya doesn't ever seem to have a hair out of place, and that costs money.

Oh hell: let's not be fair. 400 friggin' dollars for a haircut? Why that would illuminate the Gore Palace for at least five minutes!

#12 Used to be when only women payed that amount for their hair - men only paid $5-10.00, now $12.00, for regular to crewcuts, or light trimes wid shave and shoulder massage.
