Over a hundred people found this site by Googling the words: “howard fineman’s hair.”

    Oh yeah! It looked like Howard was trying out a new hairdo on Countdown two nights ago and the result was the appearance of a red fox crawling on to his skull and dying. It was all the rage on the PTT that evening.

    only 100… I’m shocked. I find myself totally trying to figure out wtf is going on up there while he’s talking.That sounds like an interesting data collection you have there… you should put together the top 10 unusal keyword used to link to GDAB

    Hey, I found Elvis’s blog by googling “smegma.”I think he was talking about Cheney in one of his posts.

    Better than the 100′s that find us by googling some form of animal sex. Still haven’t figured that one out.

    I’m happy to know that my wife and I are not the only people that are talking about Howard Fineman’s hair transformations.

    Howard’s associates must have read our PTT comments because I noticed he was without the fox last night. And on Olbie. I swear someone on KO monitors our comments. This isn’t the first thing we went on about that got a result (but I’m braindead these days so please don’t ask me to give examples).

    Ok, between the post and the comments, you had me at “snarfed” (one of my fav terms,) and “smegma,” (one I had not heard in a while.)Oh, and the tag “Howard Fineman’s hair?” Priceless. How many more posts are going to be filed under that tag, I wonder?

  • dontpanic23

    At least 2 PTTs can be retrotagged.Bob, this is fun. Please keep us posted on other fun search anomalies. And yes, TN1, I hadn’t heard “smegma” in several decades and it brought back fond high school snickers.

  • mattpddm03

    My English friend uses that term all the time. If you hear several times in the same evening, it gets funnier every single time. Of course, when he says it I hear ‘smegmer’, which makes it even better for some reason.

    smeghead – from Red Dwarf, one of the greatest BBC series ever!And it leads to the unavoidable question: why were you googling “smegma”, Packy? :)

  • SillyGit

    Chris -He was researching Cheney. Elvis is not the only person that thinks smegma is a prefect word for Cheney. It *is* a perfect word for Cheney.We need to have GDAB come up for merkin as well. People doing research on medieval hair pieces should also get GDAB in the results.merkin merkin.

    mer·kin (mûrkn)n.A pubic wig for women.[Alteration of obsolete malkin, lower-class woman, mop, from Middle English, from Malkin, diminutive of the personal name Matilda.]A pubic wig for women that happens to come from the word (name!) Malkin? Git, you just made my day.

    What with the hair, Howard?

    I found it by Googling “Howard Fineman’s Pubic Hair.”

  • http://www.osborneink.com Matt Osborne

    All those hits from people looking for barnyard sexcapades does tend to explain the recent spate of trolls…

  • dontpanic23

    I had the same thought, Matt. But a bunch of “regular” new names came in at about the same time so I’ll excuse their googles or assume they sailed in from the Huffpo Bob pot.

  • dontpanic23

    (oops, pot = post)Just shoot me.

  • Kevin K

    What? The Wall Street meltdown has so impoverished Howard that he could not afford a stylist and colorist to help him transition from dyedbrownshoepolishhead to touchofgreyandwhitesides over the last month? Watching Olbermann, I could not retain anything Fineman said, so transfixed was I by the red and white heap of hair on top of his cranium. Howard, you are on television! You wear makeup, for Krisesake! Hire a professional!

    OK, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed harder at a series of comments on a political (or any!) blog as this set. I have been laughing so hard that I’m crying and had to stop to wipe my eyes to continue reading.I, too, have been watching Howard’s Hair and I should have realized others were – that dark, black dye job is a welcome loss and this week has been “interesting”.But, it was the ‘malkin’ tie in that finished me off! Thanks ALL for a super great laughing fit.SusanD in Berkeley
