I'm still hearing remarks on TV about Edwards' goddamn haircut and am getting pretty damn sick of it. I think this would be a perfect explanation.
Pretend this is a debate and a question from whomever has been directed towards Edwards.
"How can you be for the poor when you spend the equivilent of two weeks pay for a lot of people on a haircut?"
RESPONSE:
"Thank you for that earnest question. People have asked me about this a lot. Well, the reason I had such an expensive haircut is because of this.
(wait for it)
"I'm rich.
"I wasn't always rich and if I wasn't rich now, I would not be standing here. I earned it myself. I had help from my family. You remember my Dad worked in a mill. Unlike Mr. Bush who had everything handed to him all his life, I know what it is to wonder where your next meal will come from. I know about loss, about personal courage and about the adversity facing ordinary people.
"That's why I'm running. And unfortunately, a campaign is all about image. I guarantee you no one who is a serious candidate does not pay close attention to his or her appearance. It is too bad that it distracts people from serious matters.
