WASHINGTON (AP) -- An acclaimed celebrity makeup artist for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin collected more money from John McCain's campaign than his foreign policy adviser.

Amy Strozzi, who works on the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" and has been Palin's traveling stylist, was paid $22,800, according to campaign finance reports for the first two weeks in October. In contrast, McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed.

In recent days, McCain and his running mate have tried to douse a furor over how their side spent their money. The Republican National Committee came under scrutiny after the party committee reported earlier this week that it had spent about $150,000 in September on wardrobe and cosmetics after Palin joined the GOP ticket.

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune and Fox News on Thursday, Palin said the clothes bought for the Republican National Convention were not worth $150,000 and said most have not left her campaign plane. She also said the family shops frugally.

Well this shows that women do get higher pay than men.

[Always Right]

Whatever that pay to keep Palin looking great, they are getting their money’s worth.

Who’s business is this? Ask Hussein to produce his BIRTH CERTIFICATE. (Or find his Indonesian passport)

[library user]

Biden spends more on booze than his hair.

[zwerni]

where is this info coming from and why is it coming out now?

any information on where Nobama’s money is going??

[andy58-in-nh]

Policy advisors are cheap in Washington. Good stylists are hard to find.

[Tarpon]

Never mind the stylists, how much did OBiden’s hair cost?

[Def Conservative]

So we were chided for joking about John Edwards’ haircuts because those were distractions....but the MSM now finds relevance in Palin’s hair and wardrobe

[SolidWood]

I fully expect to read tommorrow about how the Obama campaign is spending their money... NOT!

[skimbell]

Maybe this is the stylist who used to work for Edwards.

[neodad]

They’ve really painted themselves into a corner on this one. Attacking a woman’s hair and wardrobe looks sexist. Besides, every man knows that women’s hair and clothes cost more. It’s not news. By the same token, remember Kerry’s hair stylist flap? It just make the dems look like girly men.

[manc]

first her clothes and now her hair

just when you think the media couldn’t go any more to the sewer they do

obama is sitting in a terrorist home

obama used tax money to go to Kenya to support a radical killer

the list is endless but no wait Palins hairstylists got so much money

what a pathetic bunch of idiots we have now in the media

[dead]

The foreign policy adviser makes up the difference in tips.

[Fred]

What is with all the hokie attacks??? We were told that THE ONE is going to win by over 500 electoral votes...so what is with all the panic from the Pravda media???

[Loyolas Mattman]

$5.3 million for the Barackopolis. The libs should worry about their guy. We’ll worry about Sarah, thanks.

[Chaguito]

And the average female on McCain’s staff has higher salary than the average male and has a higher position. Why hasn’t our crack MSM discovered that?

$830,000.00 for stage and Lighting for Obama

Until Hillary called him out and its VOTER FRAUD TO ACORN.
