John Edwards reimburses campaign for both $400 hair cuts
Heh. Too funny:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrat John Edwards is trying to get out of a hairy situation, reimbursing his presidential campaign $800 for two visits with a Beverly Hills stylist.
Two $400 cuts by stylist Joseph Torrenueva, who told The Associated Press that the former North Carolina senator is a longtime client, showed up on Edwards’ campaign spending reports filed this weekend. Edwards spokesman Eric Schultz said it never should have been there.
“The bill was sent to the campaign. It was inadvertently paid,” Schultz said. “John Edwards will be reimbursing the campaign.”
[...]
Federal Election Commission records show Edwards’ campaign also spent $250 in services from Designworks Salon in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 in services from the Pink Sapphire in Manchester, N.H.
Schultz said those services were legitimate campaign expenditures to prepare Edwards for media appearances.
LOL! I would love to see an itemized bill for the services he rec’d at those two salons, just to see what kind of ‘legitimate campaign expenditures’ Edwards is billing to the campaign. And BTW, I think he might have lost the Iowa barber vote 
The AP article also reported this, which I’d not heard before:
Political candidates often have hair and makeup done before media appearances. Edwards rival Hillary Rodham Clinton got some attention last year when her campaign paid $2,500 for two hairstyling sessions that the campaign classified as media production expenses.
That makes sense. Just like with every other aspect of Hillary Clinton’s life, her hair is a big production unto itself.

There’s a joke in here somewhere.
*goes to rehab*
*goes directly to rehab*
*does not pass GO*
*does not collect $400*
….like a Reid in a Knatche’ Peloche’ wind he is……..the gee bus is coming round the bend.
Reimbursement……is that like redeploy or retreat?
Really gives *Swingin* for the fences, some brand new action.
Jeff Dobbs has a hilarious send-up of Edwards’ “Two Americas” speech:
Go read the whole thing for a good laugh.
When a man spends $250 at someplace with ‘Pink’ in the title, I would expect that a lap dance occurred.
Check Scott Ott’s take on Edwards at “Edwards campaigns…”
WARNING- swallow your beverage first!
OMG, my other half complains if I spend 20 dollars on a haircut. Next time I get one(whcih is tomorrow) I will remind him of this.
I just don’t get it. I read in our local paper today (in Iowa) that he said he didn’t know the haircut was $400 until after he got it cut. Then why did he do it twice. Temporary amnesia? What a pathetic liar!
