This blows my mind too: Berine Sanders has not had a haircut since 1976!

[youceyec]

I heard this couple say while having lunch at the four season Hotel. No reason to doubt them. I mean, regular haircuts are vital to being an effective president, right?

[Wilms]

1. I heard that it is only since entering Congress.

Underscores the fact that he is NOT a Democrat.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. So what? I don't judge people on how often they get haircuts. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

3. Given up the red baiting for this? Your Chairman Mao and Marxist ops were quite enlightening.

Can't say it's much of an improvement but everyone needs a hobby I guess.

[Armstead]

35. Hippie Bashing is much more fun

[beam me up scottie]

36. A lot of that going on lately too.

Sometimes I have to check to see which website I'm on.

[Bread and Circus]

4. I got a chuckle when I read your headline...pretty funny. /cheers.

[one_voice]

11. +1 good sport!

[NurseJackie]

5. Too easy ... I'll refrain from taking the bait.

[longship]

6. Have you seen Hillary's clothes recently? ;-)

I would not criticize either Bernie or Hillary for either their hair or their sartorial tastes. I do not think either attest to Oval Office qualifications. Possibly thank goodness.

I would hope that a presidential election went beyond such criteria.

My best to you.

[greymattermom]

24. What's with Hillary's clothes?

I'm sure Trump will have something to say. And all chubby women will hate him for it.

[longship]

34. Well, I would not call Hillary chubby.

The point here is that whether or not I think Bernie's hair, or Hillary's clothes are not in the best taste, is irrelevant. I don't select a president by their hair or their clothes or their looks. (Thank goodness! Or we would have never had an Abe Lincoln, an LBJ or a HST, or maybe even James Madison -- he was really, really short!)

But yes, Hillary is a bit sartorially challenged. And Bernie is not very well coiffed. So be it.

I'll vote for the one who gets the Democratic nomination regardless of those perceived negatives.

[HubertHeaver]

7. If your hair doesn't grow, why have it cut?

I am on a first name basis with all my hairs and wouldn't dream of injuring them.

[Kalidurga]

8. lol

that's what I was thinking.

[ghostsinthemachine]

9. I LOL'd out loud! (NT)

[Cali_Democrat]

12. It's an honest mistake

Relax.

There are more important things to worry about than misspellings.

To suggest that it's homophobic is pretty laughable.

Thanks for the chuckles.

[beam me up scottie]

13. I disagree, not when it keeps happening.

The op is free to edit it, we'll see if they do.

[appalachiablue]

18. Unreal but you did good. Wild times. I was No. 5.

19. Oh brother, it's a personal attack to point out red baiting now?

The threads are in the op's journal, they're obviously proud of them.

Thanks, the alert stalkers lose again.

[opiate69]

20. Just wait...

Your post #10 got alerted on too. I'll post the results when they come in. Must be "try to nail BMUS day " at the cesspool.

[beam me up scottie]

21. Not taking a chance, they've gotten bogus hides on others before by lying in alerts.

They swarm the board this time of day, it's not a coincidence.

My name is on the list.

Yes feminizing a man's name is homophobic and misogynistic. And not Laughable or worthy of a "chuckle"

28. Not my alert, Cali Democrat didn't misspell the name, the op did.

But the alerter is right, it is homophobic to turn men's names into women's and vice versa.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

30. I guess I missed that.

I think I have so many people on ignore now that nothing seems to make much sense anymore. I think I'll start over.

[beam me up scottie]

32. LOL!

I don't blame you, I've heard DU is almost tolerable when the ignore function is applied liberally.

[Cali_Democrat]

29. what the....

[litlbilly]

14. Who is Berine? Never heard of her. Is she a relative of Bernie?

[litlbilly]

15. I would say your mind has been sucked, not blown...:)

[jmowreader]

16. There's no way this could be true

Hair grows at, on average, three-quarters of an inch per month. Do the math and his hair, if left uncut since 1976, would be thirty feet long. Cats would be living in it.

[treestar]

26. +1 impossible

even old people's grey hair grows and they have to get haircuts.

[jmowreader]

31. What I think they actually meant was,

"Bernie hasn't changed his hairstyle in the last 40 years."

That I can believe...he's always looked like he does now.

[treestar]

38. oh

that works.

[Zorra]

17. Outrageously expensive haircuts, paid for by taxpayer money, are vital to being an effective

President.

Everybody knows that. You left out the most important details.

[FSogol]

27. The US Senate has a free barber shop. Article here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/08/06/you-can-still-get-a-taxpayer-subsidized-haircut-at-the-senate-barbershop-but-manicures-are-out/

LOL: Marco Rubio gets the most tax-subsidized hair cuts

According to an analysis by The Fix's indispensable Philip Bump, Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, and Marco Rubio burned through the most cash in the past year.

[PonyUp]

22. Four Season Hotel? Wow, I can't even get Motel 6 to leave the light on for me. nt

[mak3cats]

25. LOL! (eom)

[Zorra]

33. Hillary Clinton $600 Haircut Shuts Down Elite Bergdorf Goodman Salon In New York City

http://www.ibtimes.com/hillary-clinton-600-haircut-shuts-down-elite-bergdorf-goodman-salon-new-york-city-2029338

Dang. Bernie is saving big bucks by never getting his haircut. Men are so lucky. Last time I had my ends trimmed it cost me $23! I could have gone to town and got it done cheaper at Supercuts, but LuAnn up by the Dollar Store does a better job, and it's important to support local folks.

[youceyec]

37. Good for her

Shes a strong, wealthy woman. She has a right to spend her money any way she wants.

[Logical]

40. FFS, really? If Romney did this we would rip him. nt

[youceyec]

39. Look

If we can talk about Secretary Clinton and her lack of driving experience I think the grooming habits of Berine Sanders is fair game as well.
