Why are the Wives of Repub Prez Candidates all Blonde?

[dynasaw]

[Drale]

1. Because they come out of a machine. /nt

[baldguy]

3. +1

[TheWraith]

2. Better question...

Why is Callista Gingrich wearing a bright yellow motorcycle helmet in that photo?

[onehandle]

4. Bleach is cheap? nt

[Angry Dragon]

5. Three look like they are on the bottle

[immoderate]

6. Callista looks like she's posing for Legos.

[Hepburn]

13. She looks like if she smiled...

...her face would crack!

[11 Bravo]

7. Check the roots. Those curtains almost certainly don't much the carpet.

[Warpy]

8. Of course not, none of those women has her natural color

They're all bottle blondes because being blonde is a status thing.

There was some research done a few years ago with women wearing wigs of various colors going to clubs. Women in brunette wigs were hit on the fewest times, redheads near them in number but a little better, and women in the blonde wigs had to fight them off with a stick. When you are a GOP egotist and the wife exists as arm candy, you want her to be arm candy every other man wants, so she has to go stick her head into a peroxide bottle.

And that's why they're all blonde.

12. In my clubbing days, I preferred non-blondes.

But I guess I'm not "normal"

[shanti]

9. that's a "look", you know....

showing the dark roots. it's supposed to make one look as if their roots are naturally dark instead of the GREY that's probably there!

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. Sweet revenge - their husbands are the ultimate jokes

[tabatha]

11. I think Ron Paul's wife has gray hair.

Here when younger.

[HopeHoops]

14. You think any of those are natural?

[MADem]

31. I don't think any of 'em were blonde in the cradle, to be honest! nt

[HopeHoops]

35. I was, but by adulthood my hair was dark brown. Now it is streaked with silver.

[CRK7376]

37. My son too

was blond from birth until about 10, now he's got brown hair and messes with it all the time. We laugh alot about his hair antics. Easy for me, who happens to be "hair challenged" better known as BALD.

[HopeHoops]

38. It isn't uncommon. Hair is naturally clear/silver. Pigmentation is a slow process.

LOSS of pigmentation is rather rapid in later years.

[qazplm]

15. well

Hillary was blond, W's wife had brown hair, don't know that there is necessarily a pattern, although have we ever had someone who was a red head as a candidate for President's wife?

[NinetySix]

28. At least one...

[gopiscrap]

16. Because they're all relatives of the Stepford Wives?

[limpyhobbler]

17. I don't know, but whatever it is, it also seems to be affecting the female anchors on Fox News. nt

[DCBob]

18. The factory only offers one color.

[jberryhill]

19. How do you know if they are "all blonde"?

[wandy]

22. Well Hawkeye theirs only one sure way to tell.

[DFab420]

20. Some pretty derogatory comments towards women with blonde hair in this post

At long last DU have you no shame?

What the fuck does it matter what hair color they have?

DO we hate them cause they are blondes??

[Dreamer Tatum]

24. It has nothing to do with the women.

Just assume the (R) on the husband's names are (D)s, and these will suddenly be the most comely women ever.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. Newt's tart has a blonde helmet. That doesn't count.

[Marrah_G]

23. I think it is common on both sides of the aisle

Maybe blonde is thought to be more attractive, less threatening, or something like that.

[JI7]

25. Hillary Clinton is Blonde, Laura Bush, BArbara Bush, Nancy Reagan had dark hair

what is the point of this ? Jill Biden is Blonde.

[whistler162]

26. Only their hairdressers know!

[Shankapotomus]

27. They are all going for the Eva Braun look (nt)

[bluestate10]

29. Well. I think peroxide should be outlawed. In regard to republican wives....

[eShirl]

30. BECAUSE THEY CAN HAZ.

[City Lights]

32. Why does it matter?

Personally, I don't give a shit about the color of someone's hair. It's what's on the inside that counts.

[Darth_Kitten]

33. And from the looks of it, not natural ones either.

34. they "look the part of a U.S. First Lady"
