3 Palin Stylists Cost Campaign More Than $165,000

Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign spent more than $165,000 over the course of nine weeks on a trio of stylists for Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, equivalent to what a Hollywood studio might invest in preparing an A-list actress for a movie premiere or publicity campaign, other stylists said.

Besides the payments to the stylists, the new reports, for the period of Oct. 16 to Nov. 24, showed additional purchases on Ms. Palin’s behalf, significantly beyond the $150,000 already reported that was spent by the party at luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

The Republican National Committee used contributions from its donors for about $23,000 in additional charges from dozens of stores, including Saks, Neiman’s, Nordstrom, Victoria’s Secret, Kate Spade, Brooks Brothers, Radio Shack and the Gap, according to the filings. There were more than 70 bills, ranging from more than $4,500 spent at various Saks stores to $350 at Escape Skin Care & Day Spa in New York to $151.71 bought from Toys "R" Us in New York.

Hmmm. Let's see. Carry the one, plus two. That's a Grand (Old Party) total of approximately $338,000. Not bad for just nine weeks work, I'd say. She's right up there with the biggest CEO's.

Turning the Waif of Wasilla into the Siren of Skagway was a very expensive undertaking. It would seem that Sarah has some 'splaining to do to the simple real American folk who worshiped the ground her Manolo Blahnik's trod on.

It seems this story is never-ending.
