'Well, "communications consulting" is how presidential candidate Mitt Romney recorded $300 in payments to a California company that describes itself as "a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and men's grooming and spa services."
Romney spokesman Kevin Madden confirmed that the payments -- actually two separate $150 charges -- were for makeup, though he said the former Massachusetts governor had only one session with Hidden Beauty of West Hills, Calif. That was before the May 3 Republican presidential debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., co-sponsored by MSNBC and The Politico.'

You can still make fun of Edwards just not about his 300 dollar hair cut.
If I pay 4 dollars for a bottle of water because I am thirsty at a ball game the same as a Romney and Edwards Beautification session?

Get real:
Since the debate on TV between Kennedy and Nixon where Kennedy used a bit of makeup and Nixon didn't and lost, it has been normal practice for political types to wear a bit of makeup.
John Edwards and his hair is another story, he should be running against Donald Trump.

It doesn't matter what side of the political world you are on, politics is still all about getting elected and these days, image seems to be everything. (If you don't believe that then why are people more concerned with Paris Hilton being incarcerated than about the war in Iraq?)
I'd be willing to bet all of the candidates are spending money like this, it just hasn't hit the news yet or else they have someone permanently on staff who does their hair and make-up...
It's time to worry about the issues and get over the fashion statements!

Romney can't match the Breck Girl in appearance. Close. But not quite.
I hereby authorize you to continue making fun of the Breck Girl.

What changes do you think Romney will make if he gets elected?
10. Replace office of vice president with offices of First Counselor and Second Counselor
9. Reduce current size of Cabinet from fifteen to twelve to match the number of oxen supporting Mormon temple baptism fonts.
8. Call the Three Nephites to assume the Office of Homeland Security.
7. Disconnect the "Red Phone" from the link to Moscow to a link to Salt Lake City's Church Administration Building.
6. Order all military personnel to wear Mormon temple garments for protection from bullets, fire, knife wounds, weapons of mass destruction and sexually transmitted disease.
5. Suggest to Gordon Hinckley that he call Hillary Clinton as first non-Mormon General Relief Society President in order to get more Democrat votes for his second term.
4. Call Boyd K Packer to head up the Federal Bureau of Investigation into any and everything of a personal nature to young men.
3. Rename the Department of the Interior to the Department of the Inferior and call his wife Ann as the director.
2. Begin each cabinet meeting with gang-like handshakes, tokens, signs and penalties and conclude the meeting with the "True Circle Jerk Order of Prayer."
1. Make Re-formed Egytian the official language of The United Nations.
The Mormons believe we all lived in Heaven with Heavenly Father, several Heavenly Mothers, and 20 Billion Heavenly Siblings before we were born here on Earth. Then there was a war. The good guys won and were born White. The bad guys lost and became demons. Those who were neutral or did not fight bravely were born with non-white skin. The bravest of the brave were born to Mormon families.
We all know that Romney must have been a "Valliant Warrior" in the "War in Heaven" during the "Pre-Existence". How else could he have been born "White and Delightsome" to an LDS family here on Earth? Heck, he was probably one of the Commanding Generals . Now , America needs a President with valuable military experience like that to get us through our war in Iraq. Could you please ask "The One and Only True Prophet", Gordon Hinkley, to please release those valuable records to the public? We need to know what battles he fought in. How many medals he won. How many of the "Less Valliant Soldiers" he recommended being born with black skin when they got their chance to be born on Earth. Was Al Sharpton one of THEM ? How about Jesse Jackson? Mormons, this is your chance to show the world the light of the everlasting gospel. Dont miss out. We have General Romney running for president of the USA and we need you badly right now!

$400 haircut. $300 makeup...I think it is waaaaay excessive, however they are free to spend their money any way they choose.
What makes Edwards look bad is that just a few months ago he was chirping about how Jesus would be appalled at how the poor in this country are treated...anyway, 'nuff said.

Oh, dear, and ALL of the politicians are wondering why the people don't vote anymore or trust them. What I would not give for an honest, non vain, reasonably intelligent person to lead this country!

lol Yes, he was communicating his personal beauty to the audience. At least Edwards didn't try to disguise the exorbitant haircut fee with double talk labeling.
Maybe Paul Wolfowitz would be a better presidential candidate than any of these guys. He uses salvia to smack down his hair.

Looking good on camera is vital to all politicians,except Sen.Byrd,he'd only look good in a casket.
Yes,you can still make fun of Edwards,everything he says is a joke.

Edwards is still an easy target.
The supposed champion of the poor who lives in filthy luxury.
The champion of the environment who emits more carbon in a day than most people do in a year.
A man with all the money he could ever need, who therefore has no problem screwing up the economy for the rest of us.
Being a Breck Boy is simply laughable. The other items I mention are offensive.
