During a speech in Raleigh on Saturday, Sen. Elizabeth Dole went after John Edwards for getting a $400 haircut.
But it appears that he's not the only one to favor a fancy 'do.
Some of Dome's Democratic readers have e-mailed us stories from other papers that show Dole has also paid for some pricey salon time:
* A Hotline article from 1999 noted that she was a client of ILO Day Spa, a "chic Georgetown salon that caters to Washington's elite."
* A Roll Call article from 2000 reported that she was "among the loyal clientele" of the Four Seasons salon and spa in Washington.
* A Dallas Morning News article from 2001 noted that she stopped by the hair salon at The Mansion on Turtle Creek for "a quick coif."

By seven the busiest thread in UTD history .... pretty much sums up the superficial reality of Politics 2007.

Creepy.

Second, forget the clip job cost, how much did her nose job cost? Her lip job and eye lift? Looks like she is almost a Joan Rivers look like.
