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.

And....how much did John Edwards pay his < airquotes> Videographer < /airquoates>? $100,000?
So Obama is a socialist and Sarah has nice hair. Got it.
Do you object to Obama funneling American taxpayer dollars to his real native homeland of Kenya?
So, the article is telling us that a white collar worker is always worth more than a blue collar worker...and the irony is that the media is trying to help a friggin MARXIST get elected. Elitism and class warfare is alive and well in the media.
Discussing her personal style, Obama said it was “flattering” to be compared to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. “It’s fun to look pretty,” she said, noting that mixes up her style with the assistance of Chicago-based stylist Maria Pinto.
The poor wretches in the media want to destroy Palin's character because she represents the greatest threat on earth to them. Sarah Palin's wonderful, glowing personna reflects on the dark souls of these wretches, and not liking what they see they prefer to extinguish the light rather than live with their guilt. Make no mistake about it, this battle goes beyond politics, it's a battle royale between the forces of good and evil. Now, perhaps, those Americans who wondered to themselves why government and the media have labored together this last generation to extinguish Christianity by criminalizing its public expression and marginalizing its benefit to us are beginning to see why. A country founded on Christian beliefs, morals and values, cannot long survive once those beliefs and values have been supplanted by secular humanism. People thought America was immune from major disasters, especially political upheaval.... now we know better. But is it too late?
do I object that obama used tax money to go to Kenya, ?
Do I object that obama would use American tax money to help Odinga?
Do I objest that obama would send American tax money to help Odinga’s govt
ER YES YES and YES
Definitely it is important to the propagand wing of the DNC, the Mainstream Media.
..good—spread the wealth
I would like to know how much it cost for Obama to put grey in his hair. I sorta noticed that it washed out.
Me too.
I heard the Obama campaign had to pay $500K for someone to coach Michelle on wiping that look of rage off her face.
shame the media doesn’t think so as they are far too busy looking into Palins hair and clothes
I mean this could damage the country for years with her hair and clothes policy
forget about Iran, radical and racist plus terrorist connection, forget about Putin, obama’s votes raising tax’s\
nope the clothes and hair is what is more important to this country.
Forget about where he might be born and his votes to take guns, self defence away
ARF
Is that more per hour than Clinton’s hair stylist?
At least when they're paid by Republiicans!
Speaking of hypocrisy, the rankings taken from the last 10 years of charitable giving:
1. McCain
2. Palin
3. Obama (VERY low until AFTER deciding to run for Pres)
4. Biden ($368/year on income of $280K/Year)
---Until Hillary called him out and its VOTER FRAUD TO ACORN.
LOL!!!
LOL
Palin got more for the money.
