Austan Goolsbee: "bald is the new chic" at the WH

[Clio the Leo]

The line for the Austan Goolsbee fan club starts BEHIND me btw. I'm callin' dibs. :)

Yesterday POLITICO asked WH Economic adviser Austan Goolsbee if "geek is the new chic" at the WH.

Goolsbee replied that "jock is the new chic."

But today, he had a change of heart.

"You know, I thought about it...bald is the new chic," he said, pointing to his head.

"Ask Favs!," he added, referring to Jon Favreau, the White House chief speechwriter whom People Magazine called one of "Barack's beauties."

Gentlemen take note ... sometimes it's not how you look, or even how uncreepy your name is ..... but how you act like you own a room when you walk into it. ;)

1. Bald was the new chic back in the last administration as well.

Why else would Dubya have been so obsessed with rubbing bald heads?

2. I thought bald was the new "chick" back in the last administration.

Those guys must have cringed every time Dubya entered the room.

3. Austan is cute. Bald is beautiful.

At least on him. :)
