Putting a good face on Palin

by Goldy — Friday, 10/24/08, 9:00 am

Turns out the highest paid member of Sarah Palin’s campaign staff, at over $11,000 a week, is Amy Strozzi, Palin’s traveling makeup artist.  Which kinda makes sense, as it’s the one party of Palin’s campaign that consistently looks good.

    11K a week to put on makeup? Where do I sign up?

    Makes Edward’s $400 for two haircuts look like a bargain.

    No wonder the Republicans were making up stories about Michelle Obama ordering lobster, caviar, and champaign from room service! Turns out she never even stayed at that hotel as reported by the wingnuts. A completely false allegation to muddy the waters before the truth about their own extravegant spending comes to light.

    It’s 306 to 157 on the electoral college count and Montana and N. Dakota are now in play. I love this.

    In the meantime, the DJIA is down again as of almost 9:25 this morning PDT, -282.43 points. Looks like it’s going to continue to see-saw back and forth in the mid-8,000s level for a while.

    Fortunately for me, I only get quarterly 401(k) statements. Unfortunately for McCain, lots of people get monthly statements. If they had palpatations after looking at their September statements, they may go into near full-cardiac arrest after reading their October statements. It might be the most effective pro-Obama mailings yet, and the Obama camp doesn’t have to pay a penny for them.

    Goes to show that if you want to put lipstick on a pig, it will cost you.

    Sexist pig humpers! How much does Obama pay for his suits? Biden? How about Biden’s brain aneurysms? Is he fucking brain-dead, or what?
    How much did Darcy divert from her campaign fund to pay for extravagant home furnishings?
    Does Burner get a piece of the Casino kickback money or does Gregoire keep it all for herself?

    I remember Clinton’s haircut on the LAX tarmac, costing somewhere in the five-figures, plus the 747 downtime. They’re all guilty. I hope Obama will put some of his bloated campaign monies back into his healthcare regime. His socialized medicine plan will cost us working folk money untold.

    Being Palin’s makeup artist is hard work. They have to apply all that makeup with a trowel.

    It must be embarrassing knowing that people will be joking for years about how much it cost Palin to look good.

    8 Yeah, right. The old “everybody’s-doin’-it” dodge. Didn’t your Mom stop buying that one when you were in the seventh grade?

    @7 “Sexist pig humpers!”

    Hmm, you must be addressing Pudz and Cynical. They do fuck goats. That’s common knowledge. But I didn’t know about the pigs.

    12 We’re pretty much in agreement about that here. However, we’re selecting the Leaders of the Free World here, not picking out a favorite wank fantasy.

    Besides, if Todd knew you’re thinking that about his wife, he’d probably run you over with his snowmobile.

    I guess the makeup didn’t do the trick. It must suck when your campaign advisor endorses your opponent.

    An article in the automotive section of today’s LA Times, which is actually a review of the new Nissan Maxima, states that 66% of McCain supporters own full-sized pickups, the typical Obama voter gets around in a Prius, and the average Palin fan drives a Zamboni.

    Oops, another Republican endorses Obama.
