John Edwards and the arrogance of the entitled

Presidential candidate John Edwards (pictured) says that he and America are angry about wretched excess.

The candidate, who has been looking pretty [here] and pretty impressive in defining "Two Americas" -- one for the rich and privileged, a lesser place for everyone else -- came up with a wonderful device to show us all what he meant.

His campaign spending reports, required by the Federal Election Commission, revealed that he has been paying $400 for haircuts by a Beverly Hills cutter named Joseph Torrenueva.

The guy must be good, because Edwards' hair sure looks good. So does the rest of him, helped along by a $250 shaping at the Designworks Salon in Dubuque, Iowa, and $225 at the Pink Sapphire spa in Manchester, N.H.

Well, the man has great hair. My barber tells me I do, too, and he only charges 20 bucks.

As Luczanne says:

Muskie's tears, Dean's scream, Al's sigh, Kerry's magic hat,
now this. It's the little stuff that gets them every time.

Now it’s Edwards excess while living in the “entitled” portion of his “Two Americas.”

Does the White House have enough mirrors to accommodate the Breck Boy?
