So after Sarah Palin had been slammed for having $150,000 spent on her wardrobe she countered by saying that after the campaign they'd be sold for charity. OK, that's a weak retort but I could see how a GOP fan might actually pay a healthy amount of money for Palin's gently used pantsuits.
That's not the jaw dropping part, though. Get this; the highest paid position in the McCain-Palin campaign isn't a spokesman. It also isn't a foriegn policy advisor.
The top paid person in the McCain-Palin campaign is Amy Strozzi, Palin's makeup artist. She was paid $22,800 for the first half of October. Not bad for half a month's work. Another woman, Angela Lew, was paid $10,000 for two weeks to be Palin's hairstylist.
I think the best part of all of this is that the campaign didn't actually refer to these people as being makeup artists and hairstylists, they're being billed as working in "communications consulting."
It's also amusing to read the comments on ABC's site that reported this. I've collected a couple samples below.
"The media is so biased they have destroyed our democracy."
"Zero integrity and journalistic ability, just like their Messiah has Zero experience. They're more concerned with Palin's shoes than they are with Obama's racist, terrorist and marxist friends. "
"Ah, hear that sweet sound?? That is the sound of Republicans writhing, twisting and spinning, as they continue on their death march until election day!"
"hmmm, I guess my $200 contribution to the RNC paid for lipstick on a pig."
