Is the stylist a contractor who hires additional contractors to complete other functions?

For example, Stylist A is paid by the McCain campaign for her services like a construction contractor. That person then pays 5 people to do X, 3 people to do Y, etc. Although on the report, it looks like you are hiring one person, you are actually hiring a service that employs many people.

Versus a campaign adviser is one person.

I’ll gladly pay twice as much for a skill rather than an opinion. Lefties think opinions are of value inherently rather than value judged.

Hairgate 2008 continues...

[delphirogatio]

McCain doesn’t desperately NEED foreign policy advisors like Obama does. No wonder they think this is an outrage.

BTW, Sarah’s still as SMOKIN’ HOT as she ever was, SMOKIN’ HOT as she ever was....

So Obama is a socialist and Sarah has nice hair. Got it.

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.

How quickly we forget "Silky Pony" getting $1200 haircuts and holding up aircraft departures.

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.

I would like to know how much it cost for Obama to put grey in his hair. I sorta noticed that it washed out.

[cookcounty]

Is that more per hour than Clinton’s hair stylist?

Palin got more for the money.

[lonevoice]

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.

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.
