Tancredo To Get $400 Haircut For Autism

Republican presidential candidate Tom Tancredo will get his hair clipped for a cause in Concord today, while poking fun at a Democratic rival's high-dollar haircuts. The Colorado Congressman will pay $400 for a haircut. It's a nod toward a $400 cut that appeared on John Edwards' campaign spending reports. The owner of the Hair Biz Salon, David Holden, says the $400 fee will be donated to the Autism Society of America.Holden says he got the idea for raising charitable funds after hearing about Edwards' pricey haircuts, but didn't immediately pursue it. Holden's 12-year-old son has autism. Holden says offering $400 haircuts was a way to raise money and learn about government-funded research.
