$1000 HAIRCUT? KERRY FLIES IN HAIRDRESSER FOR TOUCH-UP BEFORE 'MEET THE PRESS'

**Exclusive**

On the Friday before his MEET THE PRESS appearance, Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry flew his Washington, DC hairdresser to Pittsburgh for a touch-up, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Cristophe stylist Isabelle Goetz, who handles Kerry's hair issues, made the trek to Pittsburgh, campaign sources reveal.

"Her entire schedule had to be rearranged," a top source explains.

A Kerry campaign spokesman refuses to clarify if Goetz flew by private jet on April 16 or on the official Kerry For President campaign plane.

The total expense for the hair touch-up is estimated to be more than $1000, insiders tell DRUDGE.

One source suggests the hairdresser was flown to Pittburgh on Teresa Heinz Kerry's 'Flying Squirrel', a Gulfstream V private jet.

[The 'Flying Squirrel' is worth about $35 million. A deluxe model; plasma TV, two bathrooms, fancy mahogany and burlwood paneling, gold-plated fixtures.]

"Senator Kerry thinks Isabelle does a superb job," a campaign source said.

Goetz grew up in a small town in eastern France. She also does Hillary Clinton's hair.

Ahhhh...memories of Cristophe start dancing in my head...

You're right Ron! A true man of the people. One who identifies with 'the common man' and the needs of the common man.

Sickening level of decadence. Now, if a Playboy Bunny was giving me a topless haircut with a few favors included afterwards....US$1000 might be acceptable....

Naaah. I'd still buy jumps and tequila.

So now partisan pundits with unnamed sources are considered trustworthy or credible? I wouldn't buy anything from either political spectrum with such dubious credentials and obvious agenda as Drudge. And once again, such an important issue. Hmmm, soldiers dying, world wide credibility being destroyed or price of a hair cut. Which issues do you get behind to decide on who to vote for?

if you include the gulf stream 5's fuel I believe it would have been a 7 grand hair cut.

I haven't had a haircut in probably about two years. The last time was in a Super Walmart, and I just wanted to get the ends cut to where they were healthy. I ended up having the guy put it into a ponytail, and cut just below the rubber band. It left my hair still "long," but not quite long enough to ponytail again for a while. The tail that was cut off was the length of my hand, or about 8-9 inches. I still have it, still rubber-banded, in a Ziploc bag.

So $1000 to get a haircut? No fuggin' way. Kerry is a schmuck, and his lies of being closer-in-touch with the Average American than GWB fall utterly flat when he does some blueblood snob shit like this. Flying a hairdresser in on a fuckin' private jet! What an absolute ASSHOLE.

I suppose I understand his reasoning, though. He's got all kinds of "advisors" around him telling him how to look, what to say, what to believe... so they're probably all over the issue of what his hair looks like. If he were to go to someone he didn't know, they might botch his hair and there goes his "public image." (Remember the haircut Seinfeld got from his Italian barber? He looked like he was six years old!)

It's his money and he can do whatever the hell he wants with it. My boss did trip a few years ago that was highly publized and man did he get a rash of hate mails and threats to the point he had to have a body guard and the firm had private security for 6+months. If he wants to blow it on a 1k on a haircut so be it. For those that think public image is BS for a politician look at the Kennedy v Nixon debate. That was a pivital point in American Politics.

If you were in a race for the white house wouldnt you use everything you had? Even if it meant $1000+ hair cut, $5k+ suits, $2k shoes etc. Hell Bush has a private trainer, good for him. Some might view that as superflous or the 'common man doesnt do that.' But he's the leader of the USA and if it helps him portray a stronger image so be it, even if it means $1000+ hair cuts. Look at his suits, you think theyre off the rack from Macys or Bloomingdales. The common man doesnt walk around in $5k+ custome tailored suits that take 4+ months to construct.

No, but hopefully soon I'll be walking around in a $450 Ouragan freefly suit that took about that long...

BTW just because it may serve a person who wants so desperately to be president, doesn't mean we have to respect a decision to spend such an outrageous and wasteful amount of money on a haircut, suit, shoes, etc.

I'd like to see the presidential candidate who admits he bought his shoes at Florsheim and his suit at Syms. He'd be a REAL MAN, a REAL PERSON, and HE'D GET MY VOTE.

If a presidential candidate feels he needs to project this bullshit image in order for people to respect him or take him seriously, I offer that he is pandering to the wrong elements of society -- the ones who value style over substance. What we need right now is someone who couldn't give two shits about style but is all about substance. Just who the hell is so impressed by the difference between a $5,000 suit and a $250 suit?? I don't even know what could possibly make the fucking difference! And I sure as shit don't like the fact that a president or candidate thinks that the people who DO know are the ones whose opinions matter so goddamned much.

I agree with you and I would like to see a canidate like that too. Hell when I buy dress shirts for work I think of how many jump tickets that shirt would buy me, and trust me it hurts buying those shirts. But we live in an image driven world/society. You have to portray the image of success and power. For example if a Presidential canidate came up that was lets say disabled, in a wheel chair versus one that wasnt who would most likely win. Good example was FDR, I dont think he would win against any of the last 5 Presidents if they showed him in a wheel chair. IMHO FDR was better than the last 5 combined. I would even say the same about Lincoln. Lincoln was tall, lanky, and looked odd. Put him next to JFK and who would people vote for? Look at the stats for cosmetic surgery, men are 50% of the clientele. Two decades ago we were less than 15%. Looks matter, especially when you have such a visbale position as leader of a country.

BTW. Congrats on the suit. I just got my first rig, well 1/2, reserve and container this last weekend so I'm stoked. Does that mean 1/2 a case of beer?

but it wasn't even a good haircut and it really cost 7 grand.

[kallend 1,661]

Would you pay $150 for a regular skydive?

When I went to Cross-keys last July, adding up the cost of the jump tickets, travel, accommodation, restaurant meals, and pro-rating the cost of my gear, reserve re-pack, etc. it worked out over $150 per jump, to jump from a Caravan.

My money, anyone that doesn't like it can shove it.

Same with Kerry and his haircut. I bet Bill Clinton's haircut on AF1 cost far more.

I believe it's called "Freedom". I guess you conservatives don't like it unless it applies to your own buddies.

Well, that's what happens when only multi-millionaires have any chance of being elected president. Maybe you'd prefer a homeless person or someone living in a trailer park as a candidate.

How many recent presidents have been truly representative of "the people"?

Yeah, you know I would like a homeless person, or someone from a trailer park. I think maybe someone who knows what it's like to be on the bottom might have a better regard for the "common man/woman's" plight and not pissing away our rights.

I don't think it would be so bad having a working class person at the helm. Maybe someone who wasn't born into the greed, lies and game that is modern politics.

Of course the political game really has not ever changed. Buying the throne has been around since we invented the concept of the throne. Might makes right...whether it is military might or finacial.

No, it only cost Clinton $200 when he had Christophe, a Beverly Hills hairdresser, do it in 1993 aboard Air Force One.

Of course, it cost millions of dollars to others because Clinton had it done on the tarmac at LAX, which held up air traffic for an hour, burning fuel and time. People lost connections, business was not accomplished, and others had to land in other airports.

Hey, I gotta give Kerry his dues - at least he didn't hold up the whole West Coast airport network for his haircut.

Together with his wife the guy's worth what, a billion give or take? Whats more wasteful, having that money sit in an offshore account or getting it back in circulation?
