Of haircuts and pantsuits.



I was going to talk some about yet another story about Clinton's clothing. But the stories are not hitting the big time that often at the moment.

But looking at the way the Washington Post talks about Edwards, it has got to sting and bother.

From TPM Horses Mouth:
Yesterday I heard that The Washington Post was set to weigh in today with a big profile of John Edwards, so a friend and I started gaming out the key question: Is there any chance that the piece won't mention Edwards' $400 haircut high in the piece?

...

These days, Edwards's $400 haircuts and $6 million house garner the lion's share of attention...
...

Well, yes, WaPo, Edwards' $400 haircut does get "the lion's share of attention,"a lot of attention, because...

...YOU KEEP FRIGGIN' WRITING ABOUT IT!!!

...


The article then gives a good list of the repeated use of the haircut to take jabs at Edwards.

It is just a cheap way to make a cheap shot.
