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.

Did the foreign policy adviser have to leave his private business, leave his home and family, abandon all other clients, and travel on the campaign trail with Senator McCain so he could be there to do his job at every campaign stop and public appearance McCain made? No?

Now we have Amy the Hairstylist joining Joe the Plumber. Amy, the MSM has decided you get paid too much money. It's time to share your wealth, you greedy lady!

Why do they even bother reporting this stuff to try and suggest that Palin is a shallow know-nothing. Why don’t they just run a piece every day that simply states: “Media: Palin is a Shallow Know-Nothing.” It would save them the time of having to search for reasons to try and prove their foregone conclusion.
