| 91. Wow, a flaming hair war! |
|
For those of you outraged by a $400 haircut, I have news for you. Rich people spend money on things you and I would never dream of spending it on.
Nonetheless, you cannot escape who your are. John Edwards is the son of a mill worker. Yes, he made plenty of dough in the lawyering business, but that does not mean he didn't eat his share of biscuits back in the day. As someone who grew up in poverty in the south, and made it on my own to a comfortable, middle-class life, why should I begrudge John edwards for going even further? Is extreme poverty now a qualification for public office? I don't think it should be, because, as anyone who knows anything about being poor knows, poverty is degrading.
Anyway, I would entrust the care of the needy far more to a John Edwards than a George W. Bush, who always had family millions to bail him out of his various failures.
