EXPENSIVE Lipstick
My goodness, Caribou Barbie sure does like to spend money, as long as somebody else is paying the bill. And if somebody else isn’t SUPPOSED to pay the bill, then she just fudges a few expense sheets and they wind up paying the bill anyway. I’m certain Alaska taxpayers like paying for her kids to attend snowmobile races in distant places. and we know not a few Gopper donors appreciate her $150,000.00 clothing bill (for ONE MONTH. Imagine if Johnny had picked her 6 months ago. Yikes!) And today brings news of another mighty expense, one that you might not have thought about.
Wingtard mythology says that Sarahpoleon is H-O-T. HOTTEST political chick in America! Klanservatives and like-minded fools get the stiffie at just the thought of their moose-butchering wet dream. But this wingtard myth, like the “hockey mom” myth, and the “self-reliant” myth, and the “fiscal conservative” myth, appears to have a few holes in it.
About $13,200.00 worth of holes, give or take a few bucks.
John McCain‘s makeup is right out of “American Idol.” Running mate Sarah Palin‘s is so “So You Think You Can Dance” — and so much more expensive.
McCain’s September payments of $8,672.55 to “American Idol” make-up artist Tifanie White, who has also worked on the reality dance show “So You Think You Can Dance,” are a drop in the bucket on the campaign’s beautification front compared to the GOP vice presidential nominee.
The Sleuth has learned that Palin’s high-paid traveling make-up artist is Amy Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy Award for her work as head of makeup on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Strozzi was paid $13,200 by the McCain-Palin campaign last month alone, according to the campaign’s latest financial disclosure report filed this week.
That’s $4,527.45 more than McCain’s make-up artist made last month. And as we mentioned yesterday in our exclusive on McCain’s make-up artist, the 72-year-old Arizona senator, who has prominent scars from battling cancer, requires more work than does the more naturally telegenic 44-year-old Palin.
Strozzi, whose first name is misspelled as “Ami” in the campaign’s financial report, is listed as doing “communications consulting” work. But two sources close to the campaign tell the Sleuth Strozzi is Palin’s make-up artist.
I understand it costing a lot to paint Johnny over-he’s had the melanoma, he’s had the shit beat out of him in Vietnam, and he’s far from a young man. But how on EARTH can it cost this much to paint up “the hottest political chick in America?!?”
Christ, Obama is right. America LITERALLY can’t afford her. This chick is a de facto escort that makes what Spitzer was shelling out look like chump change. And Spitzer definitely got the better deal-I doubt seriously Ashley Dupree had to spend this kind of money painting herself up.

I thought The Palin was an attractive woman the first time I saw her on TV a couple of years ago. Why in the world she would need this kind of makeover is beyond me, unless it is just pure greed. I suspect, given everything we have learned about the barracuda over the last several weeks, that this is the case. This self-styled hockey mom has proven herself to be selfish, vindictive and mean. I have no doubt these clothes would have gone in her suitcase had the media not exposed this silliness.
BTW JR: I had to return the favor. I visit you everyday. So go visit my place and consider yourself the recipient of not only one but two awards:-)

Oh, boy. Now I have to come up with 5 more, and there are so many good ones out there. Ugh.
That’s the whole thing with Caribou Barbie; everything is for HER. As I said earlier, I really don’t think she cares much how the election goes now-her thing is all the attention she gets. That’s all that matters to her. I’m quite certain a lifelong Narcissist like Sarahpoleon would indulge herself to the maximum allowed, and beyond. We know this from her Alaska record.

I do think your graphic is classy, jolly roger. Absolutely. You betcha! I’m just fed up (I am) with the focus on fashion. Without being snarky, I feel Killa from Wasilla clothes and make-up are distracting us from the issues along with Cindy McShames $300,000 outfit at the close the the RNC (one night). Maybe that’s the point.
The makeover is a “girl thing.” Many women spend at least an hour on hair and make up every morning. I’d rather be blogging.
