Boehner took time Thursday to critique reporters' hair styles.
Boehner took time Thursday to critique reporters' hair styles.

(CNN) - House Republican Leader John Boehner is known for regularly poking fun at reporters about their hairstyles. But at his weekly press conference on Thursday he couldn't contain himself.

As he launched into his regular refrain about the Democrats' budget, saying it "spends too much, it taxes too much, and it borrows too much", he stopped himself - trying to hold back laughter during his own opening comments.

He quickly singled out a young print reporter, telling him, "You really do need to do something with that hair of yours." As reporters laughed, he joked, "I couldn't wait any longer."

He went on to finish his opening comments, but before calling on the same reporter, he teased, "Get a brush, would ya?"

The reporter had good sense of humor about the crack from the Ohio Republican, and shot back, "I'll get a haircut if you pay for it."

When Boehner called on the next reporter, he referred to him as "the bald guy."

But Boehner didn't confine his critique to male members of the Capitol press corps. When a female reporter, wearing her long hair pulled back, prefaced her question by joking that she hoped her hair was ok, Boehner couldn't resist: "You mean what's wadded up in the back of your head?"

Some reporters chuckled, but others thought the GOP leader was being a little harsh.

Boehner continued his hair assessment, saying, "It looks so nice hanging down. It looks like you got up a little late and decided that, you know, I just wadded up the back. For those of you that don't know about me and ponytails, males get it - males get it just as bad as females."

He then apologized to the reporter, joking "you started it," and let her ask her question on the budget.

With Congress about to start a two week recess, Boehner blamed the long stretch of six straight weeks in Washington for his punchy mood and attempt to have some fun with reporters. "That's why I'm trying to be humorous today to my friend who needs a brush and a friend who needs some hair," Boehner said.

As reporters walked out of the press conference, one asked Boehner's press secretary what she put in the Republican leader's coffee this morning.

His hair makes Donald Trump look good.

Should change his name to " Tan Man"

Michigander   April 2nd, 2009 4:54 pm ET

Way to divert from the issues, Boehner! Not that you have anything new or substantive to add to any discussion anyway.

phoenix86   April 2nd, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Obama jokes about special olympics and we need to lighten up.
Boehner jokes about hair and he should resign or he's an idiot.

The doublestandard of the left fringe is more evident everyday.

Roger, College Station, Texas   April 2nd, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Big hairy deal.

jdp   April 2nd, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Real nice, make fun of a woman's hair.... he should know better, I thought he was married? And the recent comment below from Matt, that is completely stupid and ridiculous. If you really believe that all "liberals" are sympathetic to terrorists and murderers, you are doing nothing but believing the hype and propaganda dished out by the likes of Hannity and Limbaugh. That's foolish.

Insecure   April 2nd, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Boehner must be feeling insecure.

beachgirl   April 2nd, 2009 4:53 pm ET

Why didn't he tell the reporter the kind of gel this moron uses. The nerve to waste his time doing this!! perfect moron, just like every Republican!!!!!!

enough already   April 2nd, 2009 4:52 pm ET

And this is worse than Obama mocking Special Olympians? More liberal outrage.

John in Binghamton   April 2nd, 2009 4:52 pm ET

King comb-over is talking about hair? This is like Trump making fun of people's hair.

ChrisO   April 2nd, 2009 4:52 pm ET

"Wow, look at all these democrat comments ripping Boehner's appearance just because they disagree with his politics."
Matt, it appears to me they are ripping his appearance because of the irony of his hypocrisy, not because they disagree with his policy. Or are you too narrow-minded to see the difference?

jwn in south carolina   April 2nd, 2009 4:51 pm ET

Boehner has the nerve to mention hair when he looks like a leatherhead???

big papa   April 2nd, 2009 4:51 pm ET

Boehner knows he's trash...

...and misery LOVES company...

...Ohioians are just plain STUPID!

...for keeping this pig in office...

kim   April 2nd, 2009 4:51 pm ET

I cant help it ! I cant hold it in any longer! Boehner looks like the evil ventriloquist dummy from the twilight zone.

Tim Biddy   April 2nd, 2009 4:51 pm ET

When you don't ahve anything real to say, belittle others. This has become a popular republican strategy over the last 6 years.

It's a real shame that they value personal attacks over solving real issues.

brian   April 2nd, 2009 4:50 pm ET

He of the orange glow! Nice tan Boner!

randy in PA   April 2nd, 2009 4:50 pm ET

Just another example of a stupid, arrogant Republican.

Cathy Brandes   April 2nd, 2009 4:49 pm ET

This from a guy who is more tan than George Hamilton!
Guess he had to do something to deflect from that joke of a budget the GOP is trying to float!

Denise   April 2nd, 2009 4:49 pm ET

Similar to when Limbaugh takes shots at others' physical appearance....

Cruzan Obama Mama   April 2nd, 2009 4:48 pm ET

That man has some nerve poking fun at anyone, when he looks like a raisin/prune or an oompa loompa.

I guess when you have nothing credible, legitimate, or relevant to talk about, trying to distract the reporters from asking the real questions is the thing to do. Guess that is a GOP tactic.

Ryan   April 2nd, 2009 4:48 pm ET

I don't care if you are democrat, republican, or independent, that is funny.

Kevin in Ohio   April 2nd, 2009 4:48 pm ET

Those here who are criticizing Boehner need to look in the mirror at all the name-calling they do themselves. I guess its OK to make fun of Republicans....but no one else.

ch   April 2nd, 2009 4:46 pm ET

This coming from someone who looks like Bob Dole?

Greg in MN   April 2nd, 2009 4:45 pm ET

Why don't you go cry like a little girl on the floor of the House again John and stop worrying about other people's hair?

Denise   April 2nd, 2009 4:45 pm ET

Jeff Spangler....Funniest comment of the day.

Robert   April 2nd, 2009 4:45 pm ET

Oh yeah, this guy's a model.

Eric Tedford - Chittenango, NY   April 2nd, 2009 4:45 pm ET

So, let me get this straight. You Liberals are upset that he was making fun of someone. So, you decide to come on here and....make fun of someone. You Libs make no sense. Just need something to complain about. I love it. By the way, Socialism Sucks.

mat   April 2nd, 2009 4:44 pm ET

House Republican Leader John Boehner has nothing better to say than a bully on the playground!
It's not a joke, it's mean, aside from the hair comment, he also pointed them out for all to laugh at. For anyone to think this is OK, they do not belong up front in public. We have serious problems, we need to be working on, not making fun of someone.
Didn't his mother teach him any better? Are these GOP’s values?

Chris   April 2nd, 2009 4:44 pm ET

Boehner's skin is too permanently parched to even break a tiny smile, let alone crack a joke, which he hasn't done in a lifetime. Seems that the only thing the sore losers have left, are insults, because they've offered no ideas other than "NO!". FYI to Boehner: There are more people that can be voted out of office next round, and uh, that could be you, Mr. Plastic hair.

The Real Slim Shady   April 2nd, 2009 4:43 pm ET

Whatever happened to civility. Why do people have to be so demeaning and rude?!

John   April 2nd, 2009 4:43 pm ET

lol with Jeff Spangler

Somebody had to say it....

Sadie   April 2nd, 2009 4:41 pm ET

I think this says a LOT about Boehner's character - he is demeaning and abusive of power. He sounds like that nasty bully from high school trying to put everyone down to build himself up. This isn't rapport with the reporter - it is abuse!

Do we really really want to vote bullies into office?

margaret gunnell   April 2nd, 2009 4:41 pm ET

My hair is a disaster and John Boehner is stupid. At least I can fix my hair.

Vince, Jupiter, Florida   April 2nd, 2009 4:40 pm ET

Boehner always looks like a hung over fraternity boy. Unfortunately he acts like one too. He’s a male version of Sarah Palin. Just as tan and just as dumb.

Jean2   April 2nd, 2009 4:40 pm ET

How low have we stooped when this is encouraged from our elected officials!

reggie   April 2nd, 2009 4:40 pm ET

Very funny! If Obama said that, noone would complain.

Sniffit   April 2nd, 2009 4:40 pm ET

...said the Great Orange Hope...

Emily   April 2nd, 2009 4:39 pm ET

With the job market as crappy as it is and my paycheck as small as it is and my debt as huge as it is, my hair is the last thing on my mind. I'm not comforted to know it's the first thing on his.

Karen - Missouri   April 2nd, 2009 4:39 pm ET

Boehner exemplifies a typical Republican politician...rude, stupid, clueless, arrogant, cocky. I would have said "excuse me? You said WHAT?" Boehner looks like the devil anyway so he certainly shouldn't talk. How much does he waste on haircuts...$1000? He should get his money back!

Paul   April 2nd, 2009 4:39 pm ET

Boner sounds just like Bush. There's a surprise.

Jon   April 2nd, 2009 4:38 pm ET

So, ok, the guy is nuts. Who would have ever thought that?

Troy   April 2nd, 2009 4:38 pm ET

Boehner has as mush right to make fun of how others look as Barney Frank does. Guys get a decent hair cut. But at least he doesn’t look like he dresses in the dark like Frank always does.

FL   April 2nd, 2009 4:37 pm ET

Do you all know if he is tanned unnaturally or maybe this is just his real skin tone? I don't know much about the guy, so I honestly don't know. Some people are just naturally more tanned looking than others. Could be the case here. If it isn't a canned tan, or from baking in a tanning bed, and it is his normal skin tone, you all look like idiots for criticizing something he can't change. In which case you are just as silly as he is for criticizing people's hair.

Laverne   April 2nd, 2009 4:36 pm ET

Anything to distract the reporters from asking him about that ridiculous budget they submitted on April's fool day. I think Boehner just tries to hard to be the head of the republican party. He is a loser as far as I am concerned, Mr. Show boat!

Fernando   April 2nd, 2009 4:35 pm ET

Look who's talking, when he spends his hours in a tanning salon, he is turning orange for crying out loud

mimi   April 2nd, 2009 4:35 pm ET

Look in a mirror, man! What a jerk. And once again the repugs have nothing new to offer, no new ideas, just making fun of people. And to the person who brought up another senator's visit to Brittney Spears concert, all I can say is "yuck, double yuck" How completely weird, and they are supposed to be elected representatives? Yikes!!!

margaret gunnell   April 2nd, 2009 4:34 pm ET

Boehner needs to look at his own hair. It looks like it is plastic and plastered to his head..you know... like a little Play School man.

Bubba   April 2nd, 2009 4:33 pm ET

What's that crap on HIS head, then? Sure ain't hair. Guano, maybe? Boner needs to just go away.

JB   April 2nd, 2009 4:33 pm ET

So, I get it. As far as libs are concerned, its OK for Obama to make a joke about the mentally handicapped, and you all defended him. But, a Repub makes a joke about peoples hair, and it is a statement on his "bonehead" nature. I see how you all think. Poorly. You have no capability of playing by the same set of rules whether it be a D or a R. Now if this gentleman made a joke about mentally handicapped people, I can only imagine your response. It wouldn't be the same you gave Obama.

Wynter   April 2nd, 2009 4:33 pm ET

Boehner is just the Angry Old Man these days. He is in the minority and hating every minute of it. He really needs to slide for awhile. Full time obstructionism of the sitting Majority is going to just put years on his own thinning hairstyle.

Get a Toupee!

blindbear   April 2nd, 2009 4:31 pm ET

I apologize to the press for the rethugs. Seems like Sean and Rush's shows this morning were a little bit more hopped-up than usual and it's pushed the rethugs into "no" overload. Not only are they "no-ing" the Democrats, they're "no-ing" the press, "no-ing" their families. Hell, one of them even "no-ed" a lobbyist.

Warren   April 2nd, 2009 4:30 pm ET

What a bufoon. Lay off the tanning bed BONER, it's obviously killing off any remaining live brain cells you may have.

Sniffit   April 2nd, 2009 4:30 pm ET

What do you expect from the guy who blatanlty lied about the cap-and-trade energy/pollution program costing each American household $3,000? The scientists at MIT even wrote him a letter explaining that he was a liar and that their study indicated something like $340 per household, not $3,000. Typical GOP.

Matt   April 2nd, 2009 4:29 pm ET

Wow, look at all these democrat comments ripping Boehner's appearance just because they disagree with his politics. Liberals are so open-minded if you are a terrorist or convicted murderer. Not so forgiving if you happen to be an American soldier or republican politician.

chelle   April 2nd, 2009 4:29 pm ET

While it's nice to have sense of humour, his remarks sound more like a planned "aren't I funny" ploy than genuine humour! Is hair all the man can joke about??

Monica   April 2nd, 2009 4:29 pm ET

This guy clearly hasn't advanced past the mental maturity of second grade.

wmcauth07   April 2nd, 2009 4:28 pm ET

In truth, John was still laughing about the April fool's joke that was yesterday's GOP Budget proposal.

Dennis   April 2nd, 2009 4:27 pm ET

I think there is something mental about this guy.....a little like Bush!!

Emit R Detsaw   April 2nd, 2009 4:26 pm ET

Instead of a picture of a worthless politician, they should have had a picture of the reporters that he made fun of. As it is, just a jerk, trying to make a joke, Sad.

bob from canada   April 2nd, 2009 4:26 pm ET

wow.........the gop just love the place their sitting in......non-existence......i mean how much of an idiot can you be.....oh wait that new budget they introduced was quite a laugh.....oh those gop=goof on parade

Lee   April 2nd, 2009 4:25 pm ET

Vanity is clearly what drives this man. Are his insults simply an attempt to distract from his own orange skin and over-sprayed hair?

Mary Ellen   April 2nd, 2009 4:25 pm ET

Boehner needs to get a life...

EBC, MD   April 2nd, 2009 4:24 pm ET

WHAT HAIR? You mean that glued down, sprayed down RUG on George Hamilton's head?

What irks me is WHY is this GROWN MAN always ORANGE??? Who told this fool that orange was in? They LIED big time.

That's what I want to know..... Boehner needs to stay away from the tanning beds, it's doing more damage than good.

RutyYou   April 2nd, 2009 4:24 pm ET

I think it's time for the American politicans and the media to grow up. Most of you sound like second graders on the play ground arguing over stupid stuff. GROW UP. ACT LIKE ADULTS OR GET ANOTHER JOB.

Kevin in NY   April 2nd, 2009 4:23 pm ET

Shut up Mr. Spraytan and do your job. 1st grade was 45 years ago.

Lobby this!   April 2nd, 2009 4:23 pm ET

John Boehners wife and children are all lobbyists. I'm sure their hair is terrific

bppack   April 2nd, 2009 4:23 pm ET

nice toupee, John.

Kylee   April 2nd, 2009 4:22 pm ET

Republicans have alsways been obsessed with people's beliefs, hair, etc. What matters most to them is the fact that you have to be just like them and believe just like them or you are labeled UN-PATRIOTIC. And Republicans wonder where the've gone wrong.....nobody perfect enough to vote for em!

RB   April 2nd, 2009 4:22 pm ET

Is this part of the Republican ideology? Making fun of people based on their hair? What an idiot. Vote this guy out if this is all he can focus on during an interview with the press.

Jim   April 2nd, 2009 4:22 pm ET

Why would he risk making those wisecracks when his hair looks JUST LIKE Adolf Hitler's????

chuckthecanuk   April 2nd, 2009 4:20 pm ET

He can be summed up in a single word. Moron. Or as many would say, Boner.

Lisalou   April 2nd, 2009 4:20 pm ET

Just amazing. Now that Republican Boehner and his party are in the minority they seem to be obsessed with fiscal responsibility. Where were they when Bush was in office?

Kevin from MO   April 2nd, 2009 4:19 pm ET

Coming from the guy with a receeding-combover? What a jerk.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow   April 2nd, 2009 4:18 pm ET

Says it all, doesn't it. Constant "no, no, no" with no alternative plan except the tired policies that got us into this mess. Who in the heck cares about the reporter's hair when millions are out of jobs, 401k's are in the tank et al. Very much in character for this cretin.

Steve In California   April 2nd, 2009 4:18 pm ET

This guy is HILARIOUS!!!! I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes!!!!
Oh. Wait. We're supposed to be laughing wiith him, not at him, right?
Nevermind.

SouthernMan   April 2nd, 2009 4:17 pm ET

Hey, give the guy a break. He's got a weird sense of humor. That's obvious from some other things he says.

Erin   April 2nd, 2009 4:16 pm ET

I would think that the GOP would have bigger issues to worry about then people's hairstyles. You know.. things like getting their party back to being relevant, offering up some sort of "better" alternative to everything they shoot down from Obama.. things like that.

I guess making fun of hairstyles is just easier.. pathetic. Keep ostercizing people GOP.. it's definitely the best path to recovery.

republicans hate america   April 2nd, 2009 4:16 pm ET

anything is better then that fake orange tan your sporting Boner

Tim   April 2nd, 2009 4:16 pm ET

Butt head has such nerve talking about anyone else. Has he looked in the mirror? He needs to consider hair club for men and he also needs to get another spray on product. The one he uses makes him look like an orange.

mkn   April 2nd, 2009 4:15 pm ET

can anyone say MELANOMA..which is what this perpetually tan man is headed for...
Mirrors are wonderful tools for those self righteous types don'tcha know.

steve   April 2nd, 2009 4:15 pm ET

Are we talking about he guy with the fake tan

Kelby In Houston, TX   April 2nd, 2009 4:15 pm ET

These repubs are always good for a few laffs...Like that time they release a budget with no numbers. :) I laughed so hard, I cried...And then this week they release the budget with the the numbers :) My goodness, they need to take this show on the road

Kevin   April 2nd, 2009 4:14 pm ET

Maybe the good Congressman should try looking in a mirror.

al   April 2nd, 2009 4:14 pm ET

Talk about a complete waste of time. Did the people actually elect his idiot? Is this the best he has to offer? What a loser.

David   April 2nd, 2009 4:12 pm ET

All in good fun... but I still don't like Boehner.

Florida Joe   April 2nd, 2009 4:12 pm ET

Better take it easy on little Johnny...He is liable to start crying again........

LYNETTE IN CA   April 2nd, 2009 4:12 pm ET

I guess if you don't have a budget or anything else to discuss ...make stupid hair insults?? Is that how it works?

Gloria   April 2nd, 2009 4:11 pm ET

This from the guy with the spray-on tan!!!

Alison   April 2nd, 2009 4:10 pm ET

Not to be personal, but his own hair really irks me. It looks like that brown pile of plastic dog doo pranksters buy at joke shops.

theresa   April 2nd, 2009 4:10 pm ET

He and other Republicans don't have any answers for the crisis they put us all in....This is how he diverts speaking about real issues. He's very much like Bush! He's just an idiot.. I know you won't print this, but it's just the truth.

Jackie in Dallas   April 2nd, 2009 4:08 pm ET

Gads, imagine what the screams would be like if a Democrat said anything like that! Boehner needs to get some Polident to glue his mouth shut, and maybe he'd save some stitches from the bite marks on his feet.

Earth to Boehner: the media can bite back, you know.

Tom   April 2nd, 2009 4:08 pm ET

I wonder what Boehner would say if he met Blagoivich.

sammieb51   April 2nd, 2009 4:06 pm ET

Boner is so funny. I thnk it is time for him to cry again ... he is good at that now.

Jim   April 2nd, 2009 4:05 pm ET

The guy with the Rent-A-Tan is making fun of other folks looks?

The new GOP- Clueless and oblivious to irony!

Liberal   April 2nd, 2009 4:01 pm ET

Someone should ask Boehner how many hours a week he spends in a tanning booth and why he is so vain.

Hawaii moderate   April 2nd, 2009 4:01 pm ET

Why is this news? One of the reporters needs to make fun of his fake tan! This man never has anything to say that is worth listening to.

Karen- PROUD OF MY PRESIDENT   April 2nd, 2009 4:00 pm ET

The Republicans in office are really too much! Wow! Boehner no
Cary Grant or Frank Sinatra. WTH, this is why they will not win in 2012 simply because they really think they are the better people. There are nothing more than a bunch of crooks. Soemone should tell him to see a dermatogolist.

Rethugs Sore Losers   April 2nd, 2009 3:59 pm ET

At lease he HAS hair John. Just goes to show you how nasty & sore losers these rethugs are.

Fenarkleman   April 2nd, 2009 3:59 pm ET

What a hamboned, jar-necked buffoon. This is the best that the GOP has? Barry Goldwater is rolling over in his grave so much that he has almost driven himself half way to China via middle Earth.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   April 2nd, 2009 3:58 pm ET

Boehner carries a "bag of groceries" under each of his eyes and shouldn't be laughing at anybody. Just more proof there isn't too much of a brain under the hair on Boehner's head.

MOJerry   April 2nd, 2009 3:58 pm ET

Just one more comment, Boner. Where in Ohio do you get a tan like that? From a can? Or, have you spent too much time at Bernie Madoff's mansion in Florida? Sure refreshing to know Republicans are more interested in hairdo's than fixing the economic mess you helped create.

Mark Fullerton, CA   April 2nd, 2009 3:56 pm ET

Where to begin...Boehner needs to look at himself in the mirror. Helmet head, spray on hair isn't all that attractive either.

Roger   April 2nd, 2009 3:55 pm ET

If Obama or Biden said it, this report would be saying how outgoing and free-wheeling they are. Interesting double standard.

Kevin   April 2nd, 2009 3:55 pm ET

What a jerk. Who crowned him King of Hairstyles?

Mari   April 2nd, 2009 3:54 pm ET

What is Boner..... I mean Boehner doing?? Talk about arrogance! And the GOP wonders why their approval ratings are so ...........LOW.

Thomas   April 2nd, 2009 3:54 pm ET

Such comments are beneath the dignity of a US Member of Congress. Mr. Boehner should simply know better....and perform better. "The bald guy...???" Shame on him!

MICK in MESA   April 2nd, 2009 3:51 pm ET

Just like Boneher, always cracking jokes.
Whether it's the GOP budget proposals, anti-union laws, health care, tax cuts for the rich only or whatever, he and the other rethugs always seem to offer nothing but a gag line.
Maybe they should start getting serious for a change, don't ya think?

CNN Ed Henry Bu$t Was Handed To Him In A Platter of Doodoo   April 2nd, 2009 3:51 pm ET

Arrrrgh, this coming from a guy who spends all day in a tan machine!!!!

Simmy   April 2nd, 2009 3:50 pm ET

When you can't score on policies why not try slap stick, huh? Someone probably told him his face looks like it's set in stone when he appears before the media. P.S. Their budget is a joke too.

London has gone Gaa-Gaa @ the G-20 for The Obamas!

Enlightened Voter   April 2nd, 2009 3:50 pm ET

Although I can't stand the man or his policies its nice to know he has a sense of humor.

Doug, New Jersey   April 2nd, 2009 3:49 pm ET

Boehner is being too hard on them.

me   April 2nd, 2009 3:49 pm ET

These are some funny republicans... Boner here tans until is an oompalumpa, and he has a near fetish with hail.

Cantor...going to Brintney spears' concert, and that tale-tell lisp of his....

Tim   April 2nd, 2009 3:49 pm ET

Buttner, I mean Boehner has some nerve!!! He looks like he's wearing a cheep hair piece.

Fredi   April 2nd, 2009 3:48 pm ET

When was the last time Boehner looked in the mirror?

Brian   April 2nd, 2009 3:47 pm ET

That's about all this guy's got.

Robert Crowley   April 2nd, 2009 3:47 pm ET

Just another Republican jerk who is still living in the past. The Republicans have just not learned. They continue to make fools of themselves every time they open there mouths.

Bob Lees   April 2nd, 2009 3:47 pm ET

All in good fun eh John? Perhaps reporters should ask about the condition of his lungs or how bad all that tanning is for the skin. It's nice to know that there is someone "poking fun" at other people now that George Bush has slunk back to Texas and it had to be a Republican.

Tom   April 2nd, 2009 3:46 pm ET

"I'm sorry, that's not a hair question..."

MOJerry   April 2nd, 2009 3:46 pm ET

Boner ought to look in the mirror. Hs "coif" looks outrageous and fake. Is that what a $400 haircut looks like?

John   April 2nd, 2009 3:46 pm ET

Says the senator with the plastic hair.

please   April 2nd, 2009 3:45 pm ET

Like anyone needed any more reasons to know Boehner is a jerk. (said politely)

Dylan from MN   April 2nd, 2009 3:45 pm ET

Wow, I've never seen that man smile much less crack a joke.

cara   April 2nd, 2009 3:44 pm ET

It's always funny when stupid people make comments about other people's appearance. "Dude, they can change their hairdo's - can you stop being stupid?"

Jamie   April 2nd, 2009 3:44 pm ET

Who is this guy to make fun of anybody's appearance.
Has he never had anyone tell him anything about his phony, orange tan?

Jeff Spangler, Arlington, VA   April 2nd, 2009 3:43 pm ET

How can a guy whose name is so easily and humorously mispronounced have any credibility to critique hair?

Dutch, Bad Newz, VA   April 2nd, 2009 3:42 pm ET

The reporter should have fired back at him about his orange skin color. He's the only politican in Washington who keeps a tan like it's summertime all year round. He's such a BONEHEAD.

Objective Thinking   April 2nd, 2009 3:39 pm ET

His own hair looks like a comb-over...
