They all have hair. Really great hair. Then I thought a bit more.
McCain. Not great hair. How did he win the primary? It was his turn.
But generally politicians running for President have pretty good hair. The last bald President was Eisenhower. Since then everyone had hair who was elected President. Ford doesn't count. He got the job as a bump up from Speaker of the House after Watergate.
So is there a thing that makes people not vote for someone who is bald? Looks are huge thing in Hollywood. Look how many men have hairpieces and get nipped or tucked. So I guess the vanity to look perfect in Hollywood, appear perfect is also in politics. You might be able to become a member of congress without great hair, but President? Never.
So what is it about hair that makes a good President? Uh, wait. I should think it's the thoughts underneath the great hair that are more important. Look at some of the Republican field. Great hair, crazy fucking ideas. Especially Bush version 2.crazy.
I wonder if a candidate who shaved their head as a choice, could they be elected President? Lots of people shave their heads.
Is a bald head a sign that the man couldn't control his body, therefore how could he control a nation. Maybe control is the wrong word. Guide. He couldn't guide his body into not sloughing off it's hair, how could he guide a government?
Now Eisenhower had a great lead in with the whole World War II thing. He kicked ass in the war. Decisive general can lead a country. Oh, by the way, bald. Not a big deal.
W. Good hair. Led the country into a war then got distracted trying to get daddy to love him by invading Iraq. Idiot. Crap thoughts under that hair.
I am willing to bet we will never have another bald President because of TV and the perception of people about bald heads.
Yup. We are shallow. And easily distracted.
Oooooo. Something shiny...
