(2004-07-06) — Now that Vice President Dick Cheney will likely face Sen. John Edwards in debate this fall, Republican insiders say he also faces an historic decision: Avacor or Rogaine?
“I’d like to say that the vice presidential contest pits a seasoned veteran against a flash-in-the-pan rookie,” said the unnamed GOP source, “But the reality is, people evaluate character by results. If you can produce a thick, luxurious cranial covering, that’s considered a mark of good character.”
In addition to over-the-counter and prescription medications, Mr. Cheney has also considered hair implants.
“The time’s too short to do the implants,” the source said. “Cheney can’t go on TV while his head looks like a cornfield in mid-June.”
