Palin Hairdresser: NYT Was Lying About "Hair Thinning" Claim

By Tim Lindell

Chalk this up as Stupid Palin Meme of the Week:

In a July 12th hit piece published on the front page of the New York Times, reporters Jim Rutenberg and Serge Kovaleski (assisted by Kim Severson and William Yardley in Alaska) made the following claim:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Friends worried that she appeared anxious and underweight. Her hair had thinned to the point where she needed emergency help from her hairdresser and close friend, Jessica Steele.

“Honestly, I think all of it just broke her heart,” Ms. Steele said in an interview at her beauty parlor in Wasilla, the Beehive.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This tidbit was seized upon and has bounced through the Internet and blogosphere -- a Google search for "Palin hair thinned" now returns nearly 400,000 hits. Lefties such as Eleanor Clift seized on it as some kind of meme that Palin can't handle stress.

Vanity as in: this is pretty picky by the MSM and bloggers to be reporting this (eyes rolling). Now the hairdresser is pissed...seems the NYT put words in her mouth (so what else is new).

Does the hair dresser have any recourse?....

Beautician should contact NYT, write an editorial, demand a retraction. She should at least insist they correct their mistake on the page number that coincide with the article....front page for front page etc.

All I gotta say is it's a good thing she's into fitness and jogging, because they do a LOT for relieving stress in certain types of folks. I remember early the morning after the second Dubya election, I went to the pool to swim laps as usual. Only one other swimmer was there, just thrashing out laps. To my surprise, I saw it was one of the "regulars" who usually didn't show up until a little after me. We chatted for a bit ... turned out he'd been in the pool since about 4 a.m. (two hours!) because he couldn't handle the suspense of the election returns! Of course, he was a conservative.

I know by 18-plus years of experience that maintaining a routine of regular heart-thumping lapswim workouts makes a tremendous difference in how I handle stress. It calms the mind and puts things into perspective.

When the Libs reach and talk about hair, you know they are running out of bashing material.

It ranks with L Ron Paul saying Palin is a Country Club Republican.
Yeah, waiders and hip boots, trainers and jogging shorts,

Has there ever been a politician so viciously attacked as Sarah? Day after day, in print, online, on tv, radio hit pieces directed from the WH and “zero’s” minions.

So how do we get the job done....The truth out? Her twitters are only going to heard by a few who are already loyal to Sarah.

Yes, she is attacked daily and mercilessly. By George Soros’ money, may his black heart burn in hell. Make that ‘roast.’

Why in the world would this site bother with dribble like this?

I meant the Conservatives4Palin site.

It’s a little amateurish.

Typical LIB tactic. If you can't coherently argue the points of the topic, make personal attacks.

The People are growing tired of it.

There is a core of adult Conservative talkshow people who are good at this. Just by callers exposing this, it makes it way to these Lib rags. Just the blog Conservatives4Palin gets the ball rolling

Oh contraire....this isn’t dribble, but a fine example on how void the MSM is today. It’s a good laugh when they now have to talk about someone’s hair and not their policies.

Also GOP lady, you need to take a look at the site conservatives4palin.com. It’s a good resource.

While some people on the blogosphere were grumbling and crying “woe is me”, some sites were doing the dirty work exposing the lies of the MSM, exposing the backstabbing shallowness of the Romney faction, exposing the ones waging the bogus ethics complaints and PROMOTING SARAH....not to metion hawking/promoting her pac and defense funds!!!!!

Conservative4forplin is on the forfront of this battle.
