Edwards - why 615,000 hits on his hair?

Why are there over 615,000 hits on "john edwards" hair? Why has the gestalt shifted away from attacking Hilary and lauding Obama to attacking Edwards?

What is it about Edwards that's different?

I'll answer. Of course.

The serious presidential candidates fall into these flavors:
  • Clinton I/Ford: Hilary, Obama. Good conventional presidents who will not disrupt the established order.
  • Bush II/Nixon: Giuliani and Romney. Lousy presidents who will not disrupt the established order.
  • Bush I: McCain: Mediocre president who will not disrupt the established order.
  • Teddy Roosevelt: Edwards. An unpredictable and potentially very disruptive force.
The establishment is not afraid of Hilary, Obama, or McCain. It's not even as afraid as it should be of Bush II, probably because it can't believe anyone could ever again be so disastrously bad. Edwards is scary. Edwards must be destroyed.

But if Edwards is destroyed, then Gore will run. Then we'll see hellfire from all directions.
