The worst hair day ever

And people think that women take their hair too seriously. Georgia Representative Cynthia McKinney caught hell from a balding radio personality for having an extremely bad hair day. I'm not sure which style Boortz was commenting on when he said her hairstyle showed contempt for her position. I found two pictures.. and I'll just provide a link or two for your reading pleasure.

Here are the major points:
Representative allegedly slaps a cop for grabbing at her and trying to stop her on her way into the Longworth House Office Building.
The cop says he didn't recognize her because she changed her hair and had been wearing braids for the last decade I guess.
Then the balding radio dude gets extremely carried away and compares her to the type of young ladies he probably spends time with weekends. He called her hairdo "ghetto trash" and says she looks like a "welfare drag queen" now this is just silly.
But Media Matters for America reports that he basically said this stuff to give Media Matters something to write about.. As if there isn't enough unbalanced conservative journalism out there to keep those folks busy.

Her original hairstyle looked great, um this other picture I only hope it's been altered for the Web. Good Lord, who'd leave the house looking that way? And she's on her way to a PRESS CONFERENCE??!! Is she on sleeping pills or what? But it was a sharp hairdo in the beginning. And neither styles make her look like a slut or a ghetto slut or a welfare recipient, these comments are just flat out ignorant. Her hair simply looks crazy, like she could be down on her luck...and possibly homeless. There I said it. But her clothing clearly signifies that she's a working woman. (Not a "working" woman, but you know what I mean.) She looks professional to me. Reminds me of a chemistry teacher I had in high school, boy her hair was a disaster ever day of the week.
