Fox crawler: Clark gets his hair cut every two weeks.

[barbaraann]

I am not making this up. This was the factoid on the bottom of the screen during a segment of Neal Cavuto interviewing Bill Kristol a few minutes ago.

Again, I find myself speechless and stunned at the level to which our media has sunk.

1. Yahoo News

has his high school pictures. Secretary of the math club, even! LOL

[xray s]

2. Good

He has the barber vote locked up! :)

[sandnsea]

3. Oh good, I was waiting for that

Now I can cast my vote with a clear conscience that Clark is impeccably coifed!

:eyes:

[Carmerian]

8. Hair?

"Now I can cast my vote with a clear conscience that Clark is impeccably coifed!"

Wasn't it DeLay who made a comment about Clark being a "blow-dried Napolean"? This crawler sounds like a knowing, sneering nod to the Limbots who watch Faux regularly.

[Kahuna]

33. Clark is a greasy kid stuff man. Bryl-Kreem, a little dab'll do ya!

:D

[electricmonk]

4. Well that does it for me

How dare he. I only get mine cut every 3 months. I'll be damned if I'll vote for anybody that grows hair faster than me. :eyes:

[Mz Pip]

5. Geez

This is somehow "News"? Who the f*ck cares. I'll bet he also uses a whole lot less gel than Neil Cavuto. :crazy:

MzPip
:dem:

[ChewToy]

6. Fair and balanced

Need we say more?

[Sideways]

12. That Should Be Hair and Balanced

What fucking fuckwittage horseshit. Murdoch needs to die.

[Julien Sorel]

7. LOL.

WOW -- what a virile man! Twice a month, at his age!

Just think of what he does for the economy at that rate -- $20 a pop, twice a month, * 12 months = $480 added to our national GDP. That's something like 1/10 of a job -- better than Bush has done in three years!

[Brian Sweat]

9. This is news?

Don't most military men get their hair cut fairly often. My father used to get his hair cut all the time too. If you keep your hair really short, you have to get it cut a lot.

[Ouabache]

10. Yeah but does he have a dozen cowlicks on his head like Junior ?

n/t

Bush looks like a bed head constantly.

[eagler]

11. He's military

that's why.

[ButterflyBlood]

13. all the proof we need of Fox's standards of "news"

n/t

[TacticalPeek]

14. Liberal haircut policy?

[Maple]

15. Ahhh but what kind of cheese

does he have on his Philly steak?

[frank frankly]

20. ha

ha!

[Cozmosis]

25. It better be cheese whiz

I won't vote for a president who won't eat cheese whiz ;)

[oustemnow]

16. Maybe an attempt to resuscitate the whole

"Clinton stalls the airport while he gets a haircut" BS?

Who knows? I do, however, know that anyone who's swayed by this was beyond reaching anyway.

[CoffeePlease1947]

17. Does he wear boxers or briefs?

Or no underwear at all? Humm, this should be news too if a hair cut is.

Mike

[Robin Hood]

18. The media did the same thing to Clinton.

Frequent haircuts worth 200 bucks.

[LyndaG]

19. So, THAT'S the Best They Can Do???!!!

Screw them. I am certainly NOT going to allow THEM to define the candidates for me.

[Bolo Boffin]

21. ROTFLMAO!

I don't doubt it at all, mind you. That's just the lamest thing I've heard yet from FOX News, and that includes the Franken lawsuit.

[Dr Fate]

22. So do MANY military types...

...sorry Bush/media- no sale!!!

[MercutioATC]

23. The BASTARD! He's obviously unelectable...

:crazy:

[salin]

24. That is just embarassing.

A so-called news channel running a crawl (re: important updates!) about how frequently someone cuts their hair. Maybe some independent and moderates who periodically tune in to the faux news station (and according to DUers - family members who are not far right wingnuts often do watch faux) will see silliness like this and when others claim the falacy of faux as a news source - it will begin to resonate.

[demgrrrll]

26. Did they have a Bush dropped Barney crawler? How about a Bush

choked on a pretzel crawler. Think of all the true but ridiculous things about Bush that could be crawling at the bottom of that screen right now. Bush an idiot, film at 11. Wouldn't be too hard to get some tape on that one.

[OneBlueSky]

27. have they tracked down the barber yet . . .

you know, for the inside scoop? . . . helluva story there, imo . . . :)

[arcane1]

29. the freepers will be posting his address any time now

:silly:

[dean4america]

28. lol

what's next, telling us what kind of cereal he eats? faux news gets more f'd up every day.

[joycep]

30. I am so glad I have that info

Now as soon as they let me know how often he bathes I'll know how to vote!

[IndianaGreen]

31. Clark pays far less for his haircut than the $75 Kerry pays for his.

Looks like Clark is keeping the same grooming standards he had when he was in uniform. This is quite common among high ranking retired military officers, particularly when they go to work for the private sector, they bring their grooming standards and their work ethic with them. This is good!

[VolcanoJen]

32. Here's an interview with Clark's barber - no kidding!!

I see that the flunkies at Fox have been busy Googling; I imagine they got the earth-shattering news about the frequency of Clark's haircuts from this article, published in yesterday's Jonesboro Sun. :-)

To his barber, Wesley Clark is just a "general Joe"

http://216.239.37.104/search?q=cache:4DkWjy0gPzUJ:www.jonesborosun.com/editorial.asp+wesley+clark+barber&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Excerpt:

The former NATO commander, widely expected to be the next Democratic presidential candidate, shoots the breeze with doctors, lawyers, politicians and presidential library builders at Sullivan's Barbershop, an icon in Little Rock's upscale Heights neighborhood for nearly 50 years.

"Sometimes he gets to talking to people in here and carrying on, and sometimes he does lots of reading," proprietor Scott Sullivan said. "But he doesn't come in with a holier-than-thou, 'I'm a big shot' attitude. He doesn't put on airs. He's just a general Joe.

"He seems to be a very genuine, honest man, easy to get along with. He's always polite to us here."

When he's home, Clark frequents Sullivan's about twice a month. He still favors the military cut -- combed across the top, keep it short on the sides.

[Clark Can WIN]

35. Is there ANY NEWS?

On Fox news? Seriously.

[leesa]

34. What is with their obsession with hair cuts...Clinton, Kerry and now Clark

[buddhamama]

36. what? every two weeks !

selfish bastard.

FOX :eyes:

[jumptheshadow]

37. I've noticed something

There are currently no pictures of Clark's wife on his official website.

Perhaps Clark wants to focus on issues rather than the People magazine stuff?

[LTR]

41. Had to dig a little

Nothing on Google, so I went to AllTheWeb.

This is Gert Clark, courtesy of http://www.defenselink.mil/news/May2000/n05042000_20005043.html:



BTW: I sport a buzz cut. Clip my own hair every week. And I know that most military guys are impeccable when it comes to grooming. Look at Ollie North and all the noise back in the late 80s about his haircut.

[OKNancy]

46. She looks nice

Good open face. She is from New York..is that right?

[Monte Carlo]

38. Jeez, you'd think he was in the _military_ or something...

You know, I think Fox should continue with this petty squabbling. Bitching about the haircuts of the Democrats have been a good way to start the smear campaign ball rolling.

Ridiculing military men for being military will come back to bite the right in the ass. Military voters don't appreciate their punctuality mocked.

[in_cog_ni_to]

39. So?

now being well groomed is a character flaw. Damn! They are really digging here!

[underpants]

40. I get a haircut every two weeks

or at least I should. Sometimes I'll stretch it out to three weeks but eventually one day *poof* it's out of control.

Clark is a military man and well groomed (well dressed too). You are right they are reaching.

[in_cog_ni_to]

43. He's GORGEOUS, too!

:7

[molly]

42. Who the frig cares?

this is so absolutely superficial!

[bluedog]

44. should be...*breaking* bush

cleaned his teeth today and will have the dentist fly in today for a full exam

[imax2268]

45. Glad to see

that Faux News is giving us fine, quality, "fair and balanced" news...

[arwalden]

47. I Get My Hair Cut Every 10 Days!! Big Freaking Deal!!

Who cares?



-- Allen

P.S. And why are you watching Fox news anyway? Shameonyou!

[TahitiNut]

48. "gets his hair cut"? Which one?

The wild hair up his ass? Inquiring minds want to know: Which hair is so newsworthy? :silly:

[Wednesdays]

49. SCANDALOUS!!!!!

I want my money back!
