Edwards spending more per month on his hair than people in “the other America” spend on a home mortgage?

That’s the way it sounds according to Ben Smith’s Politico.com blog:

John Edwards’ campaign for president spent $400 on February 20, and another $400 on March 7, at a top Beverly Hills men’s stylist, Torrenueva Hair Designs. … Edwards’ campaign also spent money at two spas: Designworks Salon in Dubuque, and Pink Sapphire in Manchester.
