The make-up job which paid 22 grand for two weeks is being widely noted but there are other nuggets to be considered. NeoCon Randy was paid $12,500. for the same period and Nicole Wallace pulled in $12,000. for the same 2 weeks. That makes their monthly salaries $25,000. & $24,000. respectively. Nice pay grade for running a lousy campaign.
“If Palin's $150,000 shopping spree had Republicans disgusted, then the report that her makeup stylist cost $22,800 for the first two weeks of October should have them livid. The stylist, Amy Strozzi, was apparently paid more than any other McCain staffer during that periodMs. 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. The campaign categorized Ms. Strozzi's payment as "PERSONNEL SVC/EQUIPMENT."
The payment on Oct. 10 made Ms. Strozzi the single highest-paid individual in the campaign for that two-week period. (There were more than two dozen companies that got larger payments than Ms. Strozzi). She easily beat out Mr. Scheunemann, who received $12,500 in the first half of October, and Ms. Wallace, who got $12,000.”
