PassedOut Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Sarah Palin continues to be victimized by sexist articles about her expensive clothes, hair styling and makeup: Palin’s Makeup Stylist Fetches Highest Salary in 2-Week Period Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch? Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCain’s chief foreign policy adviser; not Nicolle Wallace, his senior communications staff member. It was Amy Strozzi, who was identified by the Washington Post this week as Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday night. Ms. 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, according to the records.Gov. Palin is pushing back: Sarah Palin says clothing budget row is sexist In an interview with the Chicago Tribune newspaper, Palin suggested that male candidates who dressed sharply for the campaign trail would not have faced the same scrutiny.And, truthfully, we haven't read about male excesses in the appearance and grooming category since Edwards' $400 haircut. It's good to know that the US is in such great shape these days that clothing and makeup are big issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's good to know that the US is in such great shape these days that clothing and makeup are big issues. Front page news, New York Times style. Must've been a slow day yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 That they want to "improve" her (superficial) image is one thing. To spin it with the absurdity that they will be given to charity afterwards is just adding insult to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think I heard more about the $400 dollar haircut than the $22,800 make-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 It's much more appalling how she used tax money to bring her kids with her to political events than it is that the RNC spends a lot on her clothes. Personally I could care less, it's not taxpayer money so they can do what they want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Comment 2: While Drudge may be hyping the Ashley Todd case, most people seem to think that its a hoax. (Even Malkin doesn't believe this one) Confirmed (hoax confirmed, that is)...she's looking at charges for filing a false police report. http://kdka.com/local/attack.McCain.Bloomfield.2.847628.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PassedOut Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 This is hilarious -- a Canadian radio station made a prank call to Palin (as the French President): It was kind of mean to do that to her.

kenberg Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 This is hilarious -- a Canadian radio station made a prank call to Palin (as the French President): I didn't catch all the French but there seemed to be something about a cochon in there. This might have been a clue. Some guys having some fun. No harm done really. Some years back a plane took off from National airport and crashed shortly after. Howard Stern called the ticket counter and asked the price of a ticket from National to the Fourteenth Street bridge. Hassling Sarah pales in comparison, although it may be a bit of piling on.

onoway Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Isn't Sarah Palin supposed to be a university graduate? of journalism? this seems a VERY weird bit of non knowlege given the circumstances (not even considering the political situation she found herself in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Isn't Sarah Palin supposed to be a university graduate? of journalism? this seems a VERY weird bit of non knowlege given the circumstances (not even considering the political situation she found herself in) She went to 5 or 6 different colleges and ended up getting enough credits to graduate. Considering that some schools have journalism as a joke degree (most of the football team is majoring in "journalism"), I don't think it's shocking that she could graduate without having any knowledge of the world. I'm sure her skills at English and math are just fine. BTW, I don't think it's all that odd. South Africa is a country. Why would it shock people if there was a place bordering Liberia who called itself West Africa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerben42 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Somehow this says more about some college degrees than of the candidates. How do potential employers evaluate college degrees? I wouldn't want to hire someone who bought their college degree, I would want to hire someone who earned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm sure her skills at English and math are just fine. What does "just fine" mean for a vice president and why do you think Palin's skills satisfy your conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobowolf Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 At a minimum, a Vice President should have a solid understanding of integral calculus, and be comfortable using a slide rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does "just fine" mean for a vice president and why do you think Palin's skills satisfy your conditions? Just fine for somebody graduating with a bachelor's degree in Journalism. For Jdonn, the country names keep changing on me. Tough to be certain that there is no country named, say, Guinea Bisseau. Oh, wait, bad example. Palin simply doesn't care about the rest of the world, including over half of the United States. I doubt she could name the states that are on the Atlantic without looking at a map. But within her own realm, I have no evidence that she's ignorant or incompetent. In other words, I don't think she's an embarrassment to the University of Idaho or the community colleges where she got half of her credits. Just not somebody I want in a Federal office.
