Flashback: Haircut Grounded Clinton While the Price Took Off
NYT ^ | May 21, 1993

It may have been the most expensive haircut in history.

Two of Los Angeles International Airport's four runways were shut down for nearly an hour on Tuesday, some incoming flights were delayed and Air Force One sat on the tarmac with engines running -- all so that President Clinton's Beverly Hills hairstylist, Chistophe, could come aboard and give Mr. Clinton a high-price trim before he took off for Washington.

Questions about Mr. Clinton's runway razor cut dominated the White House news briefing today, with the communications director, George Stephanopoulos, scrambling to explain why the populist President tied up one of the country's busiest airports to have his hair trimmed.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesmen were quoted by The Associated Press as saying that while Air Force One sat on the runway on an indefinite haircut hold, two of the airport's four runways were shut down and some commuter flights scheduled to land were forced to circle instead. The White House insisted, though, that the Secret Service had not sought any special hold on air traffic while the President was getting his locks shorn.

This should put the Chris Christie story in perspective. Dems couldn’t care less when Slick Willie ground air traffic to a halt so he could get a $200 haircut.

Kinda like directly making a traffic jam to inconvenience the little peeps as opposed to doing indirectly it with plausible deniability.

“So Mr. President. Would you like a little trim before we take off?”

(Not sure that even makes sense!?)

Always had my doubts about whether the barber was the only person who provided a service to the Sink Emperor while all of LAX waited.

Edwards 'embarrassed' by haircut
quad city times ^ | April 20, 2007 | Todd Dorman

John Edwards said he’s embarrassed about his now famous $400 haircut.

Campaign finance records show that Edwards’ campaign paid a Beverly Hills stylist $400 for his haircuts. Those pricey snips have undercut Edwards’ image as a populist crusading for the little guy.

“It’s a ridiculous amount of money for a haircut,” Edwards told reporters after a campaign stop on Adel’s town square. “I’m actually embarrassed by it.

Would a little trim and blow job make more sense?

Edwards wasn't embarrassed until the press got win of the price. He was a typical dem politician - - all lies and manipulation.
