Why, the "$400 haircut," of course!
Still, Edwards has lost some of his credibility in this predominantly Democratic region. They don't forget $400 haircuts around here.
"A haircut's a haircut. You can get the same one for $10," said James Rudd, a 28-year-old Whitesburg resident who's spent the past 10 years mining coal. "If he's so big on poverty, then why don't he give the other $390 to some homeless person?"
The "Still" negates everything, much like complimenting someone -- then inserting a "but" before crushing criticism. Mention is also given to Edwards' "lifestyle of means."
At least Edwards' message is filtering into the mainstream. We have to hope that some critical thinking skills still exist out there.
