[StBernard] Can this get anymore ridiculous?

Jer, let me take over here on tag-team tag.  Again, to the replyer I'll say
give me a solid example of when any Republican did something like that when
it could have been taken care of by a staffer or personal assistant?

Unlike liberals, I have a really good memory.  Below I've posted an "oldie
but goodie" on former President "Slick Willie" Clinton.  Has it only taken
16 years to forget the most expensive haircut in the history of
mankind?....read below the NY Times story from back then.

"Haircut Grounded Clinton While the Price Took Off"
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN,
Published: Friday, 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. Everybody Does
It

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.

"Everybody has to get their hair cut," Mr. Stephanopoulos said. "I think the
President normally gets his hair cut sometime during the week. It happens at
different places. As you know, he has a very busy schedule, and he just
tries to work it in when he can. That was when we were able to work it in."

And who paid for this haircut?

"The President and his family have a personal services contract with
Cristophe to cover things like this," Mr. Stephanopoulos said. "They pay for
it. It's for the whole family."

In light of Mr. Clinton's haircut by a stylist to Hollywood stars, Mr.
Stephanopoulos was asked whether his boss was still the President of the
common man.

"Absolutely," he answered. "And if you look at his economic package, it's a
package that's designed to turn this around and to really get some real
benefits to middle-class Americans. And that's what's important."


YEAH, I WOULD COMPARE WHAT THEY DID FOR THE CHENEY VISIT TO THIS ABSURDITY!!
