Democracy for Vancouver

It’ll take more than an expensive haircut to make the border nazi attractive to voters:

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo is getting his hair clipped for a cause while poking fun at a Democratic rival’s high-dollar haircuts.

Tancredo, a Colorado congressman, will pay $400 for a haircut on Friday - a play on former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards’ $400 cuts, which appeared on campaign spending reports in April.

Tancredo’s $400 fee will be donated to the Autism Society of America, said David Holden, owner of the Hair Biz Salon in Concord, N.H., where the candidate’s coif will get trimmed.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about Edwards’ haircut. When Romney is spending $85,000 a day on ads, and Judith Regan is ripping the lid off the rotting leftovers of the Giuliani-Kerik Brotherhood of Serial Adultery, returning attention to a 7-month old snipe story is all Tancredo’s got?

I believe this quote applies:

Where you see a person of valid achievements or virtue being attacked, it’s by someone viewing them as a mirror of their own inadequacy instead of an inspiring beacon for excellence.

I believe this is also the reason that the one candidate who regularly beats every one of the Republican candidates in polled head-to-head matchups is John Edwards.

Get all the $400 haircuts you want, Tom. It won’t help. Disparage him how you will, Edwards is the one the GOP should be afraid of.
