Breck Girl Feels Pretty Maligned
The press blowout that John Edwards paid $400 for a haircut, twice, in fact, really don’t have the story straight. Worse, YouTube has Edwards aka “The Breck Girl” messing with his hair for two minutes to the tune of “I Feel Pretty”, which makes him appear vain.
In the first place, the Breckster would not pay that for a haircut. It was paid out of campaign funds, so it was a free haircut. That is a big difference. Even for the contributors, it comes out to less than one cent per. In the second place, he has decided to reimburse the campaign to show foreigners what America is all about. As he put it, people want to come to America “because people like me can come from nowhere, the son of a mill worker…and now be running for president and pay $400 for a haircut.”
He added, “People around the world look at us and say, ‘That’s what we want. We want that kind of chance.’ ”

Giuliani Promises Twofer With Threefer
Rudy told Barbara Walters that if he becomes president his wife Judith will sit in on cabinet meetings and advise on federal policy “as much as she wants”. He noted that this is something he would be “very, very comfortable with”. This gives the republic another twofer at no additional cost. He says that the extent the public enjoys this will depend on the extent of Judith’s interest in the affairs of state. He noted that she will have no specific responsibilities, just as she had none in the breakup with Rudy’s second wife Donna Hanover. Donna, the twofer, was not a twofer.
It seems likely that Judith’s scope will exceed that of Nancy Reagan, whose astrology staff primarily vetted Ronnie’s schedule for extraterrestrial conflicts. Likewise with Rosalynn Carter, the first wife to attend cabinet meetings, but who didn’t say much. Hillary may have been the second first wife to attend, but primarily stuck to overhauling the nation’s health care system. This would apparently make Judith the third wife.
