What is it about US politicians' hair?

Just what is going on with bigwigs' hair these days?
I mean... it's immense!

The 'austeriy' (read: poverty) that is imposed on the majority of us appears to have the opposite effect on our great leaders' turf;  the more we suffer the thicker, more luxuriant it grows.

Take John Kerry here - Massachusetts Senator and unashamed Grand Bouffant-silverado; currently going rug to rugski with the Russian Hare (see what I did there?) in a delicate series of quiff-offs over their use of banned hairspray propellants in Ukraine.

Putin has his shirt-off-fishing-for-capitalist-subversives-while-holding-his-horse-in-a-judo-headlock action-type-macho photos to prove his manhood - US politicians have massive hair - MASSIVE HAAAIIIIRRRRRRRR !

So how does one attain such a huge rug? It can't possibly be natural! The fact that it stands proud of the scalp by a matter of inches suggest it's lineage is more Axminster than Westminster (yes, I know that's not American but, it's my blog!)

Hair so large that it has to be lowered on a huge A-frame, while the recipient squats beneath it like a medieval knight attempting docking procedure with his great war helm, and like the talking hat in the Harry Potter books, has to be firmly seated on the wearer's noggin before it can impart it's follicle wisdom to our undeserving ear.

As with everything politicians do, you just know they've been told to look that way, don't you! You just know a spotty little gonk has designed a template out of hardboard, like a huge presidential shape-sorter that Kerry et al have to pass their heads through in order to comply with the exact dimensions as prescribed by the voting citizens of America.

I know of the existence of such a device as it was employed against a friend of a friend, who was barred from entering a night club, and whose hair, after having been scanned into a portable US patented 'RugoTronic' device, was deemed to be too implausibly wide for admission, and also in contravention of a number of articles under United Nations legislation.
