U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s hairline has made a dramatic comeback.

The 62-year-old politician and minister is rocking a full head of hair in television spots that encourage residents to build rain gardens. Robust growth covers a forehead that had started to become exposed when Cleaver was mayor of Kansas City in the 1990s.

The congressman, it seems, got his new hair in surgery, not a wig shop. Cleaver spokesman Danny Rotert says the congressman is not wearing a hairpiece. Asked if Cleaver had undergone hair transplantation, Rotert said: “He may have.”

More importantly, when is he going to back Obama like the majority of his constituents did?

What's the big deal? That hairline is as genuine and honest as Big Emanuel hisself. What a big ol' bag of gas he is.

Rotert provided a quote from the congressman this afternoon: "Really, they want to talk about my hairline? Not the war, the crashing economy, gas prices going crazy, global warming threatening the planet, and they want to talk about my hairline? I am very glad to talk about things that are important to the District, but I don't have much to say about my hair."

Why would some one who is 62 years old get hair plugs? If you put yourself up for public office like this you know some one will call you out when you do something so vain.

So Pitch, it is now time to find out if Jacob Turk is a robot built by the Bush administration.
