I can only assume Ebert wasn’t aware of Fiorina’s breast cancer and subsequent loss of hair from treatment. An apology is in order:

It’s just me, but I like Barbara Boxer’s friendly tousled hair to Carly’s would-be Elvis do.

And a few minutes later, he wrote:

Urgent to Gawker: Is it time for a John Edwards-style scandal about how much Carly Fiorina’s haircut costs?

And as a note: This does not mean it’s now open-season to attack Ebert and his own battle with cancer. Civility, people.
