Palin's Makeup Artist Highest Paid Staffer

I realize that makeup for television is different, but as my grandmother always said, "A lovely face doesn't need that much makeup dear, so go wash that crap off now." $22k buys alot of crap.

Gov. Sarah Palin's traveling makeup artist was the highest paid person on Sen. John McCain's campaign staff during the first half of October, the New York Times reports.

Amy Strozzi, "who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show So You Think You Can Dance?, was paid $22,800 for the first two weeks of October alone."

McCain "Forgot" He Didn't Pay For Daughter's Car

But in his defense, with so many cars (how many I wonder?), they must be hard to keep track of. If you figure at least two cars for each house that would make it 20 or so? Plus, whatever happened to "Buy American"?

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential nominee John McCain was “not truthful” and “insulting” when answering questions about whether he paid for his daughter’s Toyota Prius, UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said today.

Gettelfinger, whose union has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama, leapt on comments McCain made in a TV interview Sunday when asked about the Prius hybrid driven by Meghan McCain. In two newspaper interviews last year, McCain had said he bought the Prius for his daughter -- joking at one point, "I ought to know the name of it; I paid for it," according to The New York Times.

But McCain told WXYZ-TV (Channel 7) on Sunday, “Actually she bought it, I believe, herself.”

“To us, it’s a credibility issue,” Gettelfinger said today. “It’s very insulting to try and skirt something as simple as whether or not you bought a particular vehicle.”
