If Edwards likes to portray himself as down-to-earth and middle class, he should go get his haircut done at Great Clips of Hair for $13.

If the Downing Street Papers were part of some vast left wing conspiracy they would have been released BEFORE the invasion, when they could do some good, not AFTER, when they were useless except to confirm what we already knew (those of us who aren't stuck in a rightwing echo chamber).

Education requires money. In California that money dried up with the Jarvis Amendment (Prop 13), which reduced property taxes available to education. Twenty years later our uneducated masses are perfect drones for the well-financed Republican smear machine. Socialized education at fault? Hey, it works just fine in other Western countries.

You get what you pay for. Jarvis' minions were Republicans... tried and true.

BTW, I have pretty good statistics showing that the actual welfare queens in America are the Red States, not the Blue States.

Why wont CBS allow post on Bush's pardon but the boards are open for Edwards hair cut and Al Jr. prescription drug abuse. Do a search on the net and find out who owns these media outlets; it will explain the propaganda being shoved down peoples throats.

Edwards like the person that cuts his hair: no where in the story does it say that he spent over $1200 just for the hair cuts this year, the cost include his barbers travel as well as time. Most people are just envious that the man has a full head of hair. The reality for most men his age is more than half of men are affected by male pattern baldness by age 50, and baldness treatments are estimated to be a US $3 billion per year industry.[

I still have the majority of my hair and if I was wealthy I wouldn%u2019t be heading to a local barbershop either. Trust is a huge factor when you let a person cut one%u2019s hair that%u2019s wielding a pair of siciorrs while your sitting in a chair, Edwards pays for that trust and skill. Why the media doesn%u2019t talk about some of those gaudy toupees some of the other candidates wear, my answer I don%u2019t care how much he pays for a hair cut, so all you jealous baldies and media scrounges get over it.

BTW This country is paying for this kind of pettiness look at the results of the current VP and try to tell me Edwards isn%u2019t five times the human being Cheney is.

Why is everyone so concerned about the price of a haircut, especially if Edwards pays for it himself?I would like to know how much the American public paid for President Bush to have cowboy boots with the presidential seal on them? Google the Bush family christmas portrait and see for yourself.

This is what CBs calls reporting?
Report on the guys stand on issues
But to lie that the haircut cost $1250.00 is something that belongs in the enquirer.
C'mon CBs you are so detailed with the old fartt Thompson and you discuss this stupid krap about a haircut.
Now people are curious what the other candidates are paying for:
haircuts,
manicures,
shoes,
socks,
coffee . . . . . ..

Democrat and Republicans deaths, Infidel, with the blue-state of California having the highest toll of deaths, Infidel.

You are a little little man, Infidel, for that post.

Posted by AaaBee at 01:46 PM : Jul 05, 2007


.......AaaBee, some more facts:

985 Americans were killed in Iraq in 2006

16,185 Americans were killed in America in 2006 most in our "deep blue" cities. Cities that have been under "One Party Rule" for decades and generations. The same "deep blue" cities where in Detroit for example only 25% of children ever graduate from High School...... in Washington DC the graduation rate is below 50%, in Baltimore 72% of Black American children never graduate from High School.

So LIBERALS........WHEN are you going to "teach" the children? in your One Party Deep Blue cities. If liberals want a CAUSE they only have to look out there high-rise flats and see the poor people in THEIR sights.........really sad

And the ENABLERS in this "censored" crime our the corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack that share these deep blue cities.

"C [Secret Intelligence Service Sir Richard Dearlove] reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy. The NSC had no patience with the UN route, and no enthusiasm for publishing material on the Iraqi regime's record. There was little discussion in Washington of the aftermath after military action."

I'm sorry you didn't 'get the memo', I guess you were out of the loop.

Way, way, way, out.

FYI ubrew12, that's not proof. Maybe we can get someone from CBS to type up some proof......... like they did with Bush's National Guard papers from the 1960's.............. you know the ones typed with the 1980's Micosoft Word font.....

ubrew12 sounds like you are contaminated.

An expensive haircut for a liberal?

Guess that means the repubs can unilaterally invade another country and place our troups in danger. All for Jesus too! Sounds fair to me!

Hard to believe that the repub congress spent tens of millions over a decade going after Clinton on Whitewater which turned out to be nothing; and horribly divided our nation going after Clinton for doing an intern.

Guess we should hang the barber now. Right after we turn some more soldier's children into orphans and **** off some more international allies. This haircut is way more important than Haliburton or firing people for not smearing dems during an election.

Remember,
=People die when Bush lies: (22K Americans and a million Iraqis.)
=People get an expensive haircut when Edwards flies

McDougal had already served all of her sentence. If Bush wants to do a Clinton he should have pardoned Libby on his last day in office. But then Libby might have spilled the beans on the Prez sometime after his first rape, and Bush couldn't have that. Hence an effective pardon now rather than in a year an a half.

just so we are clear about Jim McDougal: McDougal died of a heart attack in federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas. The circumstances of his death remain questionable: he was apparently denied access to his heart medication, and he was placed in solitary confinement without the medication.

It's most controversial paragraph, which you've already read:
"C [Secret Intelligence Service Sir Richard Dearlove] reported on his recent talks in Washington. There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.

Determining what makes political news is determined by the (D) or the (R) at the end of the politians name. After running stories on Al Gores (D) son, Edwards (D) hair cuts, and Viagra Villiaigora's (D) affair, look at what didn't make the MSM news....

Special interest groups can't buy a multi-millionaire like California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R), as he has claimed since his recall election campaign in 2003. But charities can use tax-deductible donations to pick up the tab on his private jet jaunts and stays in top tier hotels, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a millionaire many times over, bills much of his overseas travel to an obscure nonprofit group that can qualify its secret donors for full tax deductions, just as if they were giving to skid row shelters or the United Way.

Whether journeying to China, Japan or last week's destinations %u2014 Austria, England and France %u2014 Schwarzenegger typically flies on top-of-the-line private jets like the plush Gulfstream models and has booked hotel suites that can run thousands of dollars a night.

It probably looks about the same as when Clinton pardoned McDougal and others who were being investigated for Whitewater. Were you just as outraged? And don't give me that, "Clinton's lies never caused lives" George Soros BS.
