JOHN EDWARDS GUM-CHEWING ON NATIONAL-TV IGNITES COMMENT

A C-SPAN camera zoomed in on Sen. John Edwards Tuesday night during a dinner marking the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe vs. Wade decision -- as he was popping and chewing gum.

The presidential contender attended the event in Washington, DC with fellow democratic hopefuls Kerry, Dean, Gephardt, Leiberman and Sharpton.

The camera zoomed in Edwards causally chewing gum as rivals made their pitch.

"I couldn't believe John Edwards is running for President chewing gum on the stage on CSPAN!" one top TV producer e-mailed the DRUDGE REPORT. "At least he was not chewing and spitting tobacco," joked a republican senate staffer who watched the telecast.

CASH AND COIF: KERRY HAIRCUT COSTS $150

**Exclusive**

Democrat all-star John Kerry of Massachusetts is positioning himself as a populist politician while he takes the first step for a White House run...

But the self-described "Man of The People" pays $150 to get his hair styled and shampooed -- the cost of feeding a family of three for two weeks!

Maintaining his reputation for best hair in the Senate, Kerry was recently seen at Washington's famed Cristophe Salon, according to sources, getting perfectly cleaned and coifed by Isabel Goetz, Hillary Clinton's hairstylist.

"When it comes to his hair, Mr. Kerry is very, very particular, " says a stylist source. "The coloring and the highlighting, the layering... but the results are fabulous."

Meanwhile, on a state visit to sign a nuclear arms reduction treaty:

After the meeting, NTV, the once-independent Russian television station now controlled by a state-dominated firm, kept replaying footage of Bush entering his meeting with Putin while chewing gum and then spitting it into his hand.
