Metrosexual and Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards primps, puffs, combs and flips his hair around as he prepares for a television appearance in this video captured for posterity by the incomprable Harry Shearer.
He tries to straighten it with his fingers. A makeup technician approaches with a comb, but the senator likes it just so and does the combing himself. He signals he's ready for hair spray by closing his eyes expectantly, like a child.Then he says, "Thank you, Mommy."
I wonder if his wife does this for him at home. He looks like a prime candidate for the Fab Five from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
