Debbie Wasserman Schultz Gets New Hairdo; Internet Goes Nuts

The new hair, on the right.

Normally, the Pulp would never consider a politician's hairstyle news, but U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Weston) is a special case. For some reason, the internet hates her hair. Her tightly spiraled, dyed-blond curls have been called "angry perm" and "nappy," and Rush Limbaugh once accused her of using mayonnaise on her tresses. Last week, when we published a blog about Wasserman Schultz canceling a speech at a local Muslim group's fundraiser, some commenters cared more about her hair than her decision not to appear at the event.

Old hair, quite different.

No one talks like this about Marco Rubio's hair or Charlie Crist's deep-fried tan, but whatever. Cyberspace is now in a tizzy because Wasserman Schultz appeared on MSNBC Friday with sleek brown, blown-out hair. The crimped curls are gone, at least for the moment. And there's a Twitter hashtag, #waronperms, being used to discuss this monumental event.

So maybe now people will pay more attention to the words coming out of the congresswoman's mouth?

Would the good voters of South Florida do us all a favor and vote the damn Yankee Carpetbagger out of office so maybe she would go back to NYC.

Flashback to November 2000 and recall CNN "expert" commentary on Kathryn Harris' makeup. Whether we admit it or not allegience to one's political creed (whether the right or left), trumps a woman's right to be fairly heard on the merits (or lack of merits) of what she is saying.

to be fair they're both pure evil regardless of appearances.

Oh that whacky right fright wing. Cant debate about policy so they make fun of someones hair.

While I will never make fun of her appearance I can tell you Debbbie Wasserman Shultz cares only about one thing, herself. I have lived in her district longer than she has been my representative. In the state government she voted against requiring children to recite the pledge of allegiance. That speaks volumes about her. Go to her website and look at her 2011 appropriations requests. It is full of wasteful spending that only serves to ger her votes. She continues to get re-elected because she plays the cancer card with her female Jewish constituents even though she is supporting the most anti-Isreal president in modern history. She is ruthless.
