I’m wondering if the editors of Time Magazine have gone completely nuts.
In their bootlicking piece on John Edwards in the September 10th issue, Eric Pooley whined:

Another challenge is that much of the attention he’s gotten recently has been the unflattering kind, stories that question his integrity and assail his image as a fighter for the little guy by focusing on his pricey haircuts, huge house, and hedge-fund job. These viral attacks, spreading from the Drudge Report and other blogs to newspapers everywhere, make a dumb argument.

“We live our lives,” says Elizabeth. “We’re not pretending to be anything we’re not.”

Once the editors finished bowing towards the Edwards’ mansion for the fifth time that day, they went over Anne Kreamer’s “The Gray Wars” piece for the Society section.
Photographers and Photoshoppers worked together to put some gray in the locks of Katie “Falling Ratings” Couric and Condoleeza “Giving Weapons To Good Palestinian Terrorists To Fight Evil Ones” Rice.
But turn the page… and you see…

Yup. John Edwards with his “normal” brown hair, and below that, John Edwards with an artists’ rendition based on his current age of what he’d look like with a natural amount of gray hair.
You know, if he didn’t have those pricey “haircuts.” So he could pretend to be something he isn’t.
What’s the troof… I mean truth, John?
Oh, and Eric? Anne? Maybe y’all ought to have a talk and sync up your watches. Just to make sure you’re in sync with the… Time.
