Very good.

I favor the politicians I favor, but I have no problem condoning generalized sniping against politicians. If we truly lived in a world run by the gods of the Greek pantheon, I'd have no trouble generalizing that the gods were d*cks.
Now, such generalizations may show a certain narrowness of vision, and one's energy may be better spent, but, as a practical matter, I don't think generalizations by the weak against the powerful put as much negative energy in the world as generalizations that flow the other way.

$13,000 / 260 works out to ~$50 per hour. For a professional that is tops in her field? A damn good bargain if you ask me.

I'll be sure to pass that on to your wife- you won't mind if she hires her own make-up artist then?

I don't believe they stated that the woman worked with Palin full-time. If so, a bargain- but still outrageous. Who the **** needs a full-time make-up artist?

Now, a cabana boy- that I could justify.

So how much is Obama/Biden allowed to spend on appearance before they become evil?

I mean really, it's like damming Darth Vader because of the cost of his suit. There are bigger issues here.

Honestly, EVERYTHING, when it comes to Palin, is a huge deal to the left. When related to the left, though, it is minutia that isn't worthy of mention.

I think people who pay $400 are ridiculous, and I'm a stylist. People who extol their own financial virtues and spend this sort of money are ridiculous hypocrites. Turns out Palin may have to repay the money- the clothes she can say she's giving to charity, but how do you give make-up back?

[BarTopDancer]

Palin ceases to be 'every woman' or 'one of us' or 'just another hockey mom' from a small town when she spends that kind of money on clothes. Yes, those types of clothes are necessary for what she is doing, but it puts her in the category completely out of touch with the category she is appealing to.

Welcome to our world. (Clinton ring a bell?)
