#5. Edwards' Hairy Cut
Apr. 20, 2007
"What happened is embarrassing to me. It was obviously a mistake to have the campaign pay for it."
— John Edwards, on his notorious $400 haircuts, which appeared on the candidates' FEC spending reports and hurt the Democrat's self-declared image as a populist fighting for ordinary Americans
A popular YouTube video later circulated mocking the former trial lawyer by showing a clip of him primping before a TV appearance set to the song I Feel Pretty. An Edwards spokesman later said the bill was sent to the campaign by mistake and that Edwards plans to reimburse the cost.
