NAMPA, IDAHO -- Hair Consultant candidate Florida Pete (right photo) was blasted today by Sarah Bowers (Ben "One With The Tao" Paulson's campaign manager) as a "dimwit" and "idiot" who's Hair Consultant campaign is driven to bolster his "huge ego".

In an instant message to Steve, Sarah wrote: "Pete is a dimwit and an idiot who is only running for HC to boost his ego! Do you really want someone like that telling you how to take care of your hair!?"

"The thing that scares me about Pete is that he doesn't have the IQ of a painted rock! He doesn't know a darn thing about hair, and that's even worse. He has no qualifications for being a hair consultant. My dog could do a better job as HC than Pete, and he licks himself!" added Sarah.

Sarah's brutally negative attack on Florida Pete is in response to Pete viciously labeling Ben as a "horse's ass" for voting for John Kerry in 2004. (See left photos of Sarah and Ben.)

"This (campaign) has definitely gotten ugly. I don't know what to do here. It's just a very contentious environment right now among the candidates." stated Steve, just hours before the official "Hair Consultant Chat Room Debate" is to begin at 7 p.m. this Wednesday night (March 30).

Later in the day, Sarah e-mailed Steve with more negative words about Pete. "Pete needs to get a grip on reality and realize that he's not fit to be HC." wrote Sarah.

Voting for this year's Hair Consultant election is from April 13 to 16. All are welcome to vote! Visit the 2005 Hair Consultant Election Headquarters Page for more details!
