I’m guilty today of gazing at celebrity hair, but I can’t pass up this chance to dwell on John Fugelsang.
And it’s a nice promo of a new Wisconsin blog. One happy accident that came out of Waukesha-gate is the discovery of a new Progressive blog “Waukesha Wonk” by Lisa Mux. Yes. It did blow me away that more emerges from Waukesha County than thousands of mysterious votes. A snippet of Lisa’s piece from last Saturday featuring Stephanie Miller, Hal Sparks, and John Fugelsang is here:
“The Sexy Liberal Show in Madison last night was a cathartic even for me, and so damn fun. With times tense and intense around these parts, this show was downright therapeutic. Plus, at $35 per non-VIP ticket, it was a lot cheaper than therapy. And, unexpectedly, I met John Fugelsang, one of the stars of the show, when he was out foraging for food about two hours before it all began. He had a hat covering his trademark Patrick Dempsey-esque mane, so he went largely unnoticed. But I digress. Back to the show. …”
Go to Waukesha Wonk for the rest of the story.
I had to check on the status of John Fugelsang’s mop of hair and so I began to rifle through YouTube. He does have nice hair, but it’s obvious he’s much more than a tousled cut and style.

In the video above, Fugelsang has a heart-to-heart chat with Republicans to explain why healthcare reform and the public option represent core values the GOP believes in.
Here are 3 of John’s key points with matching jokes:
1) If you’re afraid of competition, you’re not really a Capitalist.
“Saying the public option will hurt health insurance companies is like saying community college will hurt the ivy league. “
2) If you don’t want to save American lives, you don’t get to call yourselves a “patriot”.
“Don’t tell me it’s a job-killing bill, alright? Because you guys supported NAFTA and that screwed a lot more young people than NAMBLA”
3) If you don’t want to help the sick, stop calling yourself “Christians”.
“Jesus never once asked a leper for a copay.”
Finally, I present photographs culled from the web for the sole purpose of making a hairstyle comparison. (I’ll try not to do repeat of this within any 6 month period. )
This is Patrick Dempsey
This is John Fugelsang. Wow. They DO have similar hair.
don’t forget Scott Speedman: http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/scott-speedman/scott-speedman-20070201-205622.jpg
Holy mother of gawd. That guy’s cute. I can see how web sites fall into a vortex of celebrity worship.
“I’ll try not to do repeat of this within any 6 month period.”
Good luck with that.
Now if only we get all Repugs to actually watch and listen to this…
That video clip was fantastic, and was what I was referring to….I should never type so early in the morning! Now if only we get all Repugs to actually watch and listen to this…
I would like that blog more if she allowed comments….
Kay-OK. I’ll pass your note re. comments on.
Thanks for the input! I will change my settings to allow comments to my blog, hopefully in the next few days.
to Lisa -Many political bloggers do allow for comments – - readers like to respond. I did – then I took comments away for a few weeks only because of 1 or 2 bad apple harassers that I didn’t want to deal with. Then I opened it up again and things have been OK…. so far. *knock on wood* You just do whatever works. If we readers don’t like it, we can always ask for our money back
