At the Beauty Shoppe

Clearly, the award for line of the night at last evening’s GOP debate goes to Mike Huckabee for his remark about spending money like John Edwards in a beauty shop.

Over at Hugh Hewitt’s blog, Dean Barrett has a post up with a more graphical display of Governor Huckabee’s analogy.  Click HERE to see what he was talking about.

what about don trump?

Sparkie,

Not even close, kid!  Trump has never held himself out to the public as any sort of representative of America’s poor and downtrodden.  Nor has he ever tried to hide, deny, or downplay his financial successes.  On the contrary, Trump’s books and public statements all celebrate business and financial success.

Edwards, by contrast, is a pandering hypocrite.

Edwards, by contrast, is a pandering hypocrite.

Oh. Still, he’s a politician. EVERY POLITICIAN IS A PANDERING HYPOCRITE. I’m pretty sure that’s a prerequisite… no? Let’s leave out Fred Thompson and Bernie Sanders. Bernie admits what he is and tromps around Burlington looking like a effing bum.

I thought of the remark as a great line.

For humor to be effective and hit home, there has to be some element of truth contained in it. John Edwards constantly rails about the existence of “two Americas.” In other words, one for the “haves,” and the other for the “have nots.”

He has put forth a political philosophy that calls for every American that is a net taxpayer to dig deeper and support people that depend on government subsidies to exist.

For me to believe a person like Edwards, usually democrats, they have to put their money in their rhetoric hole. I don’t believe for one minute that Edwards would sacrifice his $400.00 haircuts, his 28,000 square foot mansion, his beach house, or his accumulated fortune by convincing people of marginal intelligence that he can talk to babies in the womb to help one hungry poor person.

He wants to convince people who vote for a living that the average person(a net taxpayer) owes those of aberrant behavior more compensation to do more of the same.

But, I know people, who work hard, pay taxes, and have compassion for poor people that will vote for him because of where he was born and because his hair looks so good.

Sparkie,
Two points.

I don’t think Donald is a Republican.
Donald (Lord help us) is not running for President and embarrassing himself with such transparent political pandering.

As far as Edwards being Presidential material is concerned, I abide by what my late great grandmother once told me while preparing a Sunday dinner.

“You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit.”

Where did you get that from WOOF? The Liberal Institute of Economics (LIE)?

That’s actually Johnnie Edwards teaching his female cousins proper makeup techniques, hair care (bounce and sheen,) and how never to be caught socially in that “other America.”

John Edwards, John Kerry, and Algore, three of the four people at the top of their ticket in the last two Presidential elections have become political cartoon characters.

A Queenie, a Weenie, and a Greenie to give us daily entertainment.
