Guilty Hair

We'll forget her, and him, soon enough.

Gary Condit, innocent or not, has guilty hair, hair sculpted into a configuration that inspires immediate distrust. The Condit-Chandra Levy scandal seems to have been scripted by the Coen Brothers - Fargo in Washington. A terminally ill wife in hospital; a hypocritical politician revealed as a horrid scumbag; a suspicious flight attendant; police combing through empty apartment buildings for a self-assured intern gone missing and probably dead.

William H. Macy must be calling his agent now, spiking his hair up in the mirror, studying tapes of Condit, preparing. There should be a role for Steve Buscemi, as well.

There was an interview with a scriptwriter in a newspaper. He'd already written most of the Chandra Levy TV movie. “I'm just waiting for the ending,” he said.
