The Best They Can Do – Attack Palin’s Hair!?!

J.J. Jackson* | September 8, 2008

Lauren Beckham Falcone has a column that can only be described as the sort of column that makes people not want to deal with politics. That’s how superficial it is.

Unable to go after Gov. Palin on anything of substance, Falcone lays into her over her hairdo:

Yes, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has a lot on her plate: a pregnant teen daughter, a son on his way to Iraq, an infant with Down syndrome and a looming national election.

But must her hair suffer? With her long, straight, often pinned-up locks, Palin looks one humid day away from fronting a Kiss cover band.

“It’s about 20 years out of date,” said Boston stylist Mario Russo of the Alaska governor’s ’do. “Which goes to show how off she might be on current events.”

This article is beyond catty by a woman who wishes she could have accomplished as much as Sarah Palin has.

But she has an excuse for this tripe ready and loaded and it is just as superficial:

For readers who are rolling their eyes about this nonissue - get real. People talk about hair - from Mitt Romney’s perfectly sprayed coif, John Edward’s Breck do, McCain’s unfortunate combover and Barak’s No. 3 buzz cut.

For the record Ms. Falcone, Romney’s hair and John Edwards’s hair were side issues that were thrown in after an examination of their policies. In fact, if it wasn’t for John Edwards’s do, there would have been anything much to talk about with regards to him because it was about the only favorable reason to support him you could come up with. Unless you are a liberal, class warfare monger that is who likes his socialist ideas.

And people wonder why people get tired of politics. Lauren’s column is a prime example as to why.
