@leftcoast09,
There is nothing "common" about a public official like Mr. Edwards getting a $400 haircut. The common folks I know go to Fantastic Sam's for about 15 bucks. I recall when Bill Clinton got a $275 on a runway at LAX halting all air traffic in or out for an hour or so. Come on...it is a classic example of in-your-face arrogance. This type of political excess is not limited to any one party - they are all guilty.
