Rod Blagojevich & The Worst Haircuts In Politics

From the Complex News political desk: Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been accused of attempting to sell Barack Obama’s senate seat a truly horrific haircut (also, dude’s obviously got something weird going on with his teeth/upper lip, but we’ll leave that alone).

That’s right, forget the Gov’s supercilious attitude towards government ethics, we’re more concerned with his super silly cilium (he was trying to line his coffers when he shoulda been lining up a new coiffure!). But is it the worst ‘do in the history of politics? Check our hair-raising Hall of Shame below…

JOHN EDWARDS, former Senator D-NC

Word is J.E. spent $400 on his faux-windswept reverse-part a.k.a. the self-satisfied tort lawyer duck’s ass. But hey, it works on unstable pseudo-MILFs. (Tangential query: are people with bad hair naturally attracted to one another?)

TRENT LOTT, former Senator R-MS

If Strom Thurmond had been elected in 1948, not only would we have racial purity, we’d have shellacked-scoop hairdo purity as well! Stupid, stupid voters.

DEBBIE STABENOW, Senator D-MI

There’s a certain shooting-fish-in-a-barrel thing with dissing middle aged ladies’ haircuts. But if we’d all listened to Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond we wouldn’t have this little women-in-the-senate problem now would we?

CARL LEVIN, Senator D-MI

Forget the auto industry, it’s time to bail out Michigan’s flagging Hair Club for Men resources.

TIM PAWLENTY, Governor R-MN

He toned things down when he was angling to become John McCain’s running mate this summer, but T-Paw was long famous for rocking a politico-mullet. Which, come to think of it, would probably go down real well with the Joe the Plumber crowd.
