Would It Have Been Better for Edwards if the Pink Sapphire Were a Strip Club?

Good question, and it was asked by my daughter in a blog post today at TownHall.com. Here’s her take:

I kid a bit, but I think the American people are more willing to forgive a presidential candidate for being overly hetero than for being overly metro.

And this:

Andre Chreky is one of the nicest salons in town, frequented by Laura Bush and the Bush girls from what I hear, and it looks like I could manage a cut and color for about $300, but hitting $400 would require a “Japanese straightening,” hair extensions, or a haircut from Andre himself. I don’t even know what a “Japanese straightening” is, but I do know that the fact that I’m talking about obscure hair treatments at frou-frou salons in the same sentence with John Edwards is bad news for him.

Does my state really have to claim this guy?
