AP moves hatchet piece against Edwards

AP reporter Joan Lowry pens this obnoxious, biased story:
Looking pretty is costing John Edwards' presidential campaign a lot of pennies. The Democrat's campaign committee picked up the tab for two haircuts at $400 each by celebrity stylist Joseph Torrenueva of Beverly Hills, Calif., according to a financial report filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Looking pretty? Looking pretty? What journalism school did Lowry attend, Don Rickles University?

Lowry brings up an Edwards visit to a "boutique" but buries the actual facts further down--that Edwards was referred there for television make-up because he was in New Hampshire. Wow, he got television make-up, like every other presidential candidate.

Check out how objective Lopwry is about another haircut place, this one in Iowa:
According to Designworks' Web site, the salon and spa features a wide variety of beauty and health services, including massages, facials, body polishes, self tanners, and rosemary mint and Caribbean therapy body wraps.
Obviously Lowry is a liar because any fool knows that rosemary mint body wraps went out in 2005. Why, I never.

I assume this means we will be getting detailed information about Mitt Romney's dresses and Sam Brownback's perfume.

As if it isn't obvious that this is a replay of the "Clinton held up LAX traffic to get a haircut" lie, Lowry even alludes to it at the end of her story, slyly mentioning that "late night comedians poked fun." Yeah, no kidding, because it didn't happen the way the press said it did.

This is nothing more than a hit piece; the RNC could have written it. Clinton rules, people, Clinton rules.
