    Damn. Missed it.

    Did they ask any questions about hair? Because they're really, really into hair over there at Politico.

    Romney, about his own hair: “It’s a little long. … I’m going to get it cut before tomorrow’s debate.”

    A small breeze blows out of the mountains and moves across the corral, gently disturbing the flowing mane of the horse and Reagan's own hair. (Simon)

    Romney has chiseled-out-of-granite features, a full, dark head of hair going a distinguished gray at the temples, and a barrel chest. (Simon)

    But the Yankees' Republican image is also about style -- in part from its traditions regarding players' appearance. "Steinbrenner doesn't let players have long hair," Cowlishaw said, citing Johnny Damon, the former Boston Red Sox player, who was forced to cut his hair when he joined the Yankees.

    His long white hair is combed straight back. (Simon)

    His campaign's as slick as Sinatra's hair.

    Dressed in a dark suit, checkered shirt and plain blue tie, his mostly gray hair, which lately seems to be thinning in the back, was combed straight back.

    The media was howling for Libby's head for months, while leaving unfettered every hair on the head of Richard Armitage...

    Sampson, wearing a brown suit and thick, rimless glasses, his cropped hair shining with gel, sat alone before them.
