What Ana said. I don't really understand the contadicting views that individuals should be allowed to accumulate limitless wealth, yet once they achieve that level of wealth, they can't spend it however they want? John Edwards is a sleazeball, but the obsession with his haircut was just insane, if only because there was so much other, more relevant stuff to grill him over.
Given what all around freaks and disasters are either in office or running for office right now (on all ends of the spectrum), I'd be thrilled if bad hair was my biggest concern. Sigh.
Yours cynically,
