    Edwards would get flak no matter what

    The infuriating thing is that if Edwards' hair were messy or shaggy, or if his haircut were tacky or corny, or if he changed haircuts in any way for any reason, they'd flick shit on him then too. The haircut story is a gimme for a lazy journalist -- no thought is required. There's absolutely nothing Edwards (or anyone else) could do or not do to his hair that would protect him from this kind of hit piece.

    And in public they dare to represent themselves as skilled professionals, and sneer at us commoners!
