I do not mean to be petty: Re: Joni Ernst

But, Jeez...is there not one person in her life who is willing to tell her that the wig she wears looks like something you buy in a costume store?

I have ZERO respect for Ernst. She is dumb and depends on those around her to prop her up. She only knows how to read the notes others put in front of her. When she is at a town hall and answering questions from the audience without a written statement in front of her, she looks like a deer in the headlights.

People can't help their looks, but as much money as congressmen make, she could afford to have a decent quality wig and clothes, so I see it as a little different than if someone said she was ugly or fat.

Are you saying it is wrong to ridicule "fat or ugly" people, but ok to ridicule wigs, makeup, haircuts, pantsuits etc....

If so, I still don't get it. It's a slippery slope.

always looked. She laughed and said it was a Raquel Welch wig, because her hair hair fallen out from chemotherapy.

I don't think Ernst is undergoing chemo, but she might have other reasons for wearing a wig--alopecia, for example.

OTOH, as my co-worker proved, a good, well-chosen wig (which hers is NOT!) can look great.

As for whether anyone has that much hair: I do, and I am 68 years old. I wear my hair nearly shoulder length, but it it were short, it would be a thick cap.
