Does he or doesn’t he?

I was most amused to learn of James Wolcott’s concerns about Ann Coulter’s “shampoo with its special conditioning agents.”
While I almost never agree with Wolcott, I do, I confess, enjoy his writing. But in this instance I have to question his hair expertise. And not just because of the picture in Pajamas Media. There’s this:

Far be it from me to criticize anyone’s personal appearance, as I’m hardly a model of good grooming. But I didn’t bring up Ann Coulter’s hair; Wolcott did.
So I’m wondering. . .
Might the man be jealous of Ann Coulter’s hair?
Or is he just trolling for a spot on “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy”?
I’m hesitant to make assumptions.
AFTERTHOUGHT: In fairness to Wolcott, I think he is probably not jealous of Ann Coulter’s hair. More likely, he’d be “envious,” because, even though there is a small possibility of some involvement in the conspiracy I outlined here, I think it is highly unlikely that James Wolcott owns [or has any proprietary interest in] Ann Coulter’s hair. However, he might nonetheless be jealously envious — assuming he thinks Ann Coulter’s hair receives more attention than his. But even there, might he be wrong? (Parsing these issues is hairy.)

    It’s like something out of Faulkner.

    If that’s Wolcott, that’s a scary sight. In public. Before other media people it looks like. Let’s just say he doesn’t ooze the “Vanity Fair” vibe.
