[janx]

?

Please assist me. Please post pics.

[Sebastian Doyle]

1. Well you gotta go with the most famous example first....

Jim Traficant and his pet Tribble.

[baldguy]

3. Paul Wolfowitz

[janx]

35. Yuk, I remember that. n/t

[janx]

37. Gross!!

[DJ13]

2. ......

?

[leftstreet]

6. ROFL

:spray:

[ClassWarrior]

4. Yikes!!

Sorry.

NGU.

[janx]

16. Oh dear!

:rofl:

[Mike Nelson]

5. Sometimes Sarah Palin looks like she has...

a squirrel under her wig

[janx]

8. I mentioned this at a book group recently.

There's something on the back of her head!

[SirRevolutionary]

13. It was probably her mind from her youth

trying to run away, and it got tangled in the bird nest.

[janx]

20. But what is that thing on the back of her head?

[Hekate]

36. One of the Alaskan bloggers called it a bumpit. I had to look it up; it's a kind of form...

... you can tease hair over to give the illusion of fullness and height to your hairdo.

Sarah likes the teased bouffant look, and I guess a lot of men think it's sexy.

[janx]

41. I'm going to look it up. Stay tuned...n/t

[janx]

43. I found it...!

[nolabear]

44. It's like a bustle for your head!

The head is the booty of the 10's doncha know. Displaced lust. Or not.

[janx]

46. Big hair...old men and young women...and

the bumpit! :rofl:

[AndyA]

22. It's Joanne Worley's wiglet from Laugh-In.

And she wants it back. It's her look, circa 1968. And just like Palin didn't write her book, she apparently doesn't know what's going on with her hair, either. :rofl:

[janx]

23. So that's the bump on the backside of Palin's head?

:shrug:

[AndyA]

27. Just a beehive.

Or a super secret storage compartment for her Ray-Gun.

Or something the bugs built and she can't get rid of it.

Who knows, maybe Todd likes it. (Or perhaps I should say Todd's former business partner likes it.)

[janx]

28. But what is that?

I talked to some female friends recently and they had a name for it--it's something you attach to the back of your head! It's below the occiput.

[AndyA]

29. You've got me.

You can probably buy one from an ad in the back of the TV insert in the newspaper.

[janx]

31. You probably can!

:rofl:

Or maybe Parade Magazine.

[janx]

7. But even John Kerry--

What is this hair thing?

[leftstreet]

9. and John Edwards

[janx]

12. Oh man...

His hair always reminded me of the fundamentalist Christians..My mother, who voted Republican for a long time, took one look at the Repub convention in the early 90s and freaked out! That was after she became disgusted with Reagan...She didn't like that he was making deals with the Pope.

[jillan]

49. I am rolling on the floor - it looks just like him!

[Stinky The Clown]

10. Youth, youthfulness, vitality, strength, cool.

See: Kennedy, John Fitzgerald.

[janx]

15. Dude, that is no excuse for wigs.

:rofl:

[Ken Burch]

11. Probably a television thing.

The last pre-tv president looked like THIS:



His successor, the first "nightly television" president, looked like THIS:

[SidDithers]

14. She asked me why I'm such a hairy guy. ...nt

Sid

[asdjrocky]

17. You mean the musical?

[janx]

18. Is there one? n/t

[asdjrocky]

24. I'm not snarking, but that's a joke, right?

How old are you?

[janx]

25. I didn't mean HAIR as the musical of the sixties or early seventies.

I learned to play Aquarius on the piano when I was young. I am 52.

And my point is that for hundreds of years, hair has for some reason been important in our government.

[asdjrocky]

30. And that point, I must agree.

The guy with the best hair almost always wins, true. Look for the tallest man in the room as well, he will almost always win.

Something about Russia/USSR, look back at their leaders, it's always gone, hair, bald, hair, bald and so on.

[janx]

32. Gorbachev was good.

Lots of bald guys are great, and many aging women get bald spots too.

[janx]

26. "Shinin', Gleamin'..." nt.

[Jamastiene]

19. Don't forget Helmut Head himself..

Trent Lott


Tony Blair

Abe Lincoln with bed head

[janx]

21. Wig versus reality--

:hug:

[kestrel91316]

42. Abe Lincoln was probably our greatest president, but I'm sorry.

That pic just makes me wanna, I dunno...........I can't even find words......

[provis99]

33. here's a few:

the befuddled professor look:

Bernie Sanders

the spider-on-the-head look:

Cynthia McKinney

the blowdried pseudo-TV evangelist look:

John Ensign

and the Brill Cream greased-up corpse look:

Ronald Reagan

You're not a real politician unless you've got strange hair.

[janx]

34. THANK YOU!

:rofl:

That's exactly what I mean!

[Union Yes]

38. Mitt Romney 'nuff said.

[jtrockville]

39. Blago? No one posted a pic of Blago yet?

[hvn_nbr_2]

40. I was sure that would be the one in the #1 post "most famous example"

but it took till post #39 for Blago to appear. How quickly we forget.

[janx]

47. Wig. n/t

[SmileyRose]

45. It's not one hair fits all, that's for sure

[janx]

48. Here's a recent example:

[jillan]

50. This is the one that always gets me

At least wear a toupee that matches. Everytime he talks I find myself looking at his hair.
