$1250 haircut helps the War on Poverty

More damaging information is revealed concerning the spending habits of John Edwards. Everyone thought $400 was a lot for a haircut. Now his hair stylist, Joseph Torrenueva, has said that Edwards paid $1,250 for a haircut during the 2004 Presidential campaign.

Edwards had Torrenueva fly from California to Atlanta just for this pricey endeavor. Torrenueva missed two days of work.

No offense to Edwards or Torrenueva, but Edwards's hair doesn't look that impressive nor does his style appear that hard to maintain.

Just think of how many poor people could be fed by that $1250. If about 30 dollars was spent on each person for a day, about 40 people could have been fed.

My barber from home could have given Edwards the same haircut for 15 bucks.
