Of all the videos produced by the Democratic candidates for last week's YouTube debate, John Edwards's was perhaps the biggest sensation. It was intended to rebut the controversy over the former North Carolina senator's $400 haircuts and last spring's hit YouTube video of the candidate primping to the tune of "I Feel Pretty."
Edwards's video runs to the tune of "Hair," the Cowsills' hit from the '60s musical of the same name ("Long beautiful hair, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen . . .") and shows crazy hairstyles juxtaposed against real-world catastrophes such as the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and workers holding signs that read "Honk for Heathcare."
