Mitt's Hair Tells All?

OK, I found it hysterical and mildly disappointing this morning that an NPR reporter while describing Romney's appearance at his MI Primary winner's speech actually said, "His usually perfect hair was mussed, but that didn't take the shine off the moment." I don't have the exact audio file, but I'm sure some clicking on the NPR news story would find it. Really, that's news? Mitt's hair is somehow embodying his status in the GOP race? I mean, I hate Mitt's hair, but who am I? Just some random person with Ken Doll Hair issues and a general dislike for Mitt, NOT an NPR reporter. It just felt weird to have a legitimate journalist slam Mitt's hair. This wasn't the brainless partisan pundits or random bloggers like me that I expect to slam a hairdo, this was media I usually respect. I guess that should tell you how odd this election is going to be, Mitt's hair is now the bellwether of results. At least it's an interesting angle and possibly more accurate than polls, right?
