The prissiest candidate

I saw this over at Michelle Malkin's place this morning. Well, not her place, unfortunately, but her blog. Now you've got me sidetracked. Dammit.

Anyway, I didn't think it was worth blogging about until I actually watched the video (thanks, E.N.) and it's freakin' hilarious.

Go watch the video at Harry Shearer's Slate corner - it depicts John Boy getting ready for a TV interview. The attention he and his primpette pay to his hair is remarkable. In Shearer's words:

"For a guy who's been known derisively to the Bush crowd as the Breck girl," observes Shearer, vice presidential candidate John Edwards seems "way too interested in his hair." He tries to straighten it with his fingers. A makeup technician approaches with a comb, but the senator likes it just so and does the combing himself. He signals he's ready for hair spray by closing his eyes expectantly, like a child. Then Edwards and the technician straighten a little more with their fingers. Please don't tell me that thing in his hand is a compact. Oh, dear. It is.

Just go watch it. It's as funny as it is disturbing. Plus, it effectively illustrates that all that really matters to John Boy the side-show carnie is image and fluff - he has absolutely no substance and comletely lacks any kind of character.

Oh well, at least he has nice hair.
