What ever happened to John Edwards getting in trouble for getting a Haircut?

Question

with his canpaigne money. I haven't heard about it lately, did he have to do something or what?

Well finre but I still think it's more important than what happens to Paris Hilton, although she deserves to go to jail.

Forgotten,Sort of like what happened after they did discover WMDs but after the media covered it for one day it was hush hush.

Answer 1

Yes because John Edwards' haircut is a HUGE deal.
And EVERYBODY should care about it.

Seriously, we have way bigger problems than a haircut.

I don't support him for President, but this question is just ridiculous.

Answer 2

1. Her daughter was taken out of school 6 or so months earlier (2-3 months into "Sarah's" pregnancy) 2. Up until about a month or so before the birth, no one around her, a VERY public figure (after all she was the top elected offical of Alaska) had even known she was pregnant. She told everyone in March that she was pregnant, she "gave birth" on April 18!! 3. Her water broke and she felt contractoins at 4 AM in Texas - contractions that she herself said were different than those of "false labor" (remember, she already had four children) 4. She stayed in Texas for another 12 hours and then ultimately had the baby at 6:30 AM the next day (actually with the time difference 29-1/2 hours later) 5. The unborn baby was already diagnosed with Down Syndrome, yet she delayed the birth by more than a day AND subjected it to 12 hours of air time - probably 3 flights from Texas to Anchorage with the repeatedly changing cabin pressure. 6. As a 44-year old woman who had already had four children, once the water broke and the contractions began, she couldn't possibly have not given birth in more than a few hours. Either she's a liar or an irresponsible mother. Take your pick!

Answer 3

It was never stated that he used campaign money. I doubt that he's stupid enough to do that, it's not allowed.

What is a big deal is why anyone would go to the public and ask for their vote, when they spend what some people make in a week on just a haircut. Also, why would someone patronize a barber that charges that much? How could a haircut possibly (!) cost that much? the sad thing is that that is probably normal for him?

I think it's more important to talk about issues. Edwards is a lawsuit attorney, and so supports the ability to sue like crazy. I think it's important to allow lawsuits that punish companies who are deliberately disregarding safety - but when people sue because McDonalds coffee is scaldingly hot and the foam cup collapses if you squeeze it between your legs - it's time to add some common sense to the laws about how and when you can sue...

Answer 4

It wasn't with Campaign money it was his personal money

Were you equally upset to find out that THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER paid $750 forLaura Bush's hair do she wore to 2nd inaugeration?


Most people on here are clearly the types who deride Edwards simply for being an "ambulance chasing trial lawyer" but of course that's because they're simply parroting back the drivel they've been spoonfed all their lives. Here's a summary of Edwards' most famous case:

John prosecuted a claim on behalf of a 3 yo girl whose intestines were literally sucked out of her body when she sat down over a powerful suction pump in a kiddie pool which was inadequately covered by a flimsy plastic piece, leaving her dependent on medical assistance which would cost her and her family millions of dollars during her lifetime.

Testimony from pool design expert witnesses showed that a sturdy suction cover could have been provided at a cost of only an additional 25 CENTS, yet the defendants chose to utilize the flimsy plastic piece TO SAVE A MEASLY 25 CENTS PER PUMP.

That's how much businesses care about you. Your safety wouldn't be worth 25 CENTS to them if it weren't for people like Edwards.

Answer 5

There really wasn't any trouble. Maintaining his appearance for the public is a legitimate aspect of campaining- even if $500 is a ridiculous amount of money for a man to spend on a haircut. Mostly it was just something for Conservatives to hold against him.

Answer 6

Media bias not covering the story. Kind of like how the media has kept mighty hush hush about Jefferson being charged for taking the bribe money.

Answer 7

No one stated it was with campaign money. It was just the $400 haircut. Who cares??!!

Answer 8

He did not get in trouble...it was never announced that he spent campaign money on the haircut.

Answer 9

It has been forgotten - just like him.
