Facial Hair in the Cabinet

Allow me to echo Obama's disappointment that Bill Richardson shaved his beard. With Eric Holder and his moustache already nominated for AG, and the announcement of Richardson, I was hoping that we were finally seeing a full-blown return of facial hair to national politics after a long, cold winter. Alas, Holder must hold down the fort alone for now while Richardson in Commerce panders to the pro-Gillette lobby.

UPDATE FROM ERIK: It seems that Obama shares Trend's disappointment.
