$1000 dollar Haircut? Not By My Calculations
I did a little research. Then I went to an independent source to confirm that research. Here is what I found about the $1000 dollar haircut cost.
Corroborated by a phone call to Signature Flight Support in San Francisco [also located in DC], the Flying Squirrel [Gulfstream V] would consume approximately 660-700 Gallons [5500-5700 pounds] of Kerosene to fly from Washington DC to Pittsburgh.
Also Corroborated by Signature Flight Support was my calculated mileage including pattern approach and departure[300 nm x 2].
To fly a Gulfstream V to Pittsburgh, and back, from Reagan International would consume about 1300 gallons of JetA jet fuel, or approximately .46 miles per gallon.
Signature Flight Support indicated that Jet A kerosene is running around $2.00 per gallon. Not including crew costs, depreciation, applied maintenance, landing fees [fuel cost only], the fuel burn was $2600.00.

A Hummer could drive 13,000 miles [Nearly 4 times the distance between London and New York] on the same fuel load out.
When asked, Signature indicated that no way in the world could you round hop a Gulfstream V to Pittsburgh and back for $1000. Further, Signature indicated that to use a Gulfstream V for such a short hop was "not a very efficient use of resources", and "the jet could not reach its optimal cruise altitudes above 45,000 feet on such a short hop".
A phone call to NetJets revealed that the lease cost for such a hop, with no crew overnight would range around $15,000 dollars [includes, landing fees, fuel surcharges etc]

Once Senator Kerry got to Pittsburgh he had these words regarding energy and oil:
SEN. KERRY: ..... As president, I'm going to move the United States of America towards energy independence. I'm going to set a goal, that by the year 2020, 20 percent of our electricity will be produced from alternative and renewable sources. We'll create 500,000 new jobs doing that, Tim. We can reduce our dependency on Middle East oil. I don't think any young American ought to ever be held hostage to America's dependency on oil in the Middle East. We deserve a president who wants to move America toward energy independence, clean energy, alternative energy. We'll be drilling gas and oil for years to come, but we can move in a new direction and I intend to do that.
John Kerry is all wrong for America

Ummm, nice work and all, but lets not hammer Senator Kerry so hard that he doesn't survive to win the Dems' nomination at their Boston convention this Summer, eh!

My friend got called during the DNC convention in 2000 to cut Gepharts hair. He went to Dicks hotel room and charged him $200 for the cut. Dick seemed very surprised it was ONLY $200!!! It seems he wanted to be charged even more. My friend kicked himself for not jacking up the cost more. I consoled him with the fact that Dick isn't paying for it...the taxpayer is. He normally charges $35 for a haircut in his shop and maybe $75 or $100 for a housecall.

from Drudge Report....This report indicates it was either the Gulfstream or the campaign jet. I have been unsuccesful in determining the make and model of the campaign jet, but pictures of him aboard it, indicate its a hell of alot bigger than the Gulfstream...somthing along the lines of a 707 or 727

$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.

I don't know but the odds are that if Kerry says he didn't eventually we willfind out that he did. Then he didn't, then he did.

Re-Calculation Bump.
BTW, why doesn't he cut it all off and get a regular haircut. Oh, I guess he would look more American that way. Kerry certainly doesn't want that.

It's important that Democratic losers be well-coifed, since none of them can carry off wearing a cowboy hat.

Goetz grew up in a small town in eastern France. She also does Hillary Clinton's hair. She should tell her to wash it once in awhile. Hillary has the ugliest hair I've ever seen.
