Does John Bolton need a better haircut?
Robin Givhan, who wrote so vividly about Condi Rice's "commanding" stylishness, has an entirely different view of John Bolton's haircut:
If you're not a nice person you will enjoy reading the whole thing, whatever you think of John Bolton. Suffice it to say that if Bolton's hair achieves the same prominence as Condi's boots, he's finished.
John Bolton, President Bush's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, desperately needs a haircut. It does not have to be a $600 Sally Hershberger cut. Bolton simply needs the basics. Tidy the curling, unruly locks at the nape of his neck, tame the volume at the crown, reel in the wings flapping above his ears, and broker a compromise between his sand-colored mop and his snow-colored mustache....
A Hollywood costumer could not have ordered a more perfectly stern Washington insider. Bolton embraces with a flourish all of the cliches that afflict so many men in Washington. During this testimony, his hand was constantly reaching up to adjust his no-frills glasses. His attire was not merely bland but careless. His hair was so poorly cut, it bordered on rude.
If you're not a nice person you will enjoy reading the whole thing, whatever you think of John Bolton. Suffice it to say that if Bolton's hair achieves the same prominence as Condi's boots, he's finished.

He does look like he'd be more comfortable in the Rutherford/Gabby Hayes era, doesn't he? It's not just the shrubbery, either. He's an Old Testiment total package.
