Much a-doo about nothing

Congresswoman Herseth's new hairstyle was noticed in Roll Call in an article they did on Congresswomen being recognized after changing hairstyles.
Uh-oh, Capitol Police: Beware a couple of Members of Congress who have very different new hairstyles. But at least one of them promises that there will be no assaulting an officer if they aren’t recognized and get stopped at a security checkpoint.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who until Tuesday was a curly haired brunette, is now barely recognizable, sporting perfectly straight blonde hair. Regardless of whether she intended to, she’s turning heads left and right — from the left and the right, as both Democratic and GOP aides buzzed about Schultz’s new ’do Wednesday. ...

Also sporting a new sophisticated look is Rep. Stephanie Herseth (D-S.D.) who, as one Democratic aide surmised, “definitely didn’t get it done in Sioux Falls.”
There are moments when I seriously question my love affair with politics. This is one of them. Never let it be said that I am harsh on Democrats all the time. Because "who cares."

If she wants a "more metropolitan doo," I'm sure there are more things of substance that we can use as ammo in the campaign season.

By changing her hairstyle, Stephanie is casting aside her SOuth Dakota Roots.

I was referring to anon's use of the "schwing" term (as popularized by Waynes World).

Party On, Jerald.

I'm pretty sure I've seen that unfortunate haircut being sported around the Sioux Falls mall.

The Herseth for Congress office did used to be in the same mini-mall at a Great Clips...

What is the deal with womens hair and South Dakota? There were several blogs about hair before, one on Kate Looby and then a couple other on Herseth.
How does changing your hair style mean you have decided to "cast aside your roots"?
Is there nothing else to do today?

Am I the only one who has not seen the new doo? Anything would be an improvement on the photo in the floating banner.

Looks like a mouse got loose in her hair and chewed its way out. Sorry, but this do is not as becoming or as professional looking as her prior one.

I'm more concerned about the comment that " it definitely wasn't done in SF". Is that a slam on SD? Was it one of her staffers? Is the person a South Dakotan?

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
