Palin's makeup artist!
(does anyone here think if the McCain campaign spent more money on commercials and strategy than making Palin look nice they would be up in the polls???)
Palin’s Makeup Stylist Fetches Highest Salary in 2-Week Period - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com
Who was the highest paid individual in Senator John McCains presidential campaign during the first half of October as it headed down the homestretch?
Not Randy Scheunemann, Mr. McCains 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 Palins 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. The campaign categorized Ms. Strozzis 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.
In September, Ms. Strozzi was also paid $13,200 for communications consulting. But several individuals were paid more by the McCain campaign that month, including Mike DuHaime, the political director, who received $25,000 for GOTV CONSULTING, and Mark Salter, one of Mr. McCains senior advisers, who got $13,224 in salary.
There has been much scrutiny this week, of course, over the $150,000 Republican National Committee spent outfitting Ms. Palin in September at high-end department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, as well as for makeup services.
The campaign finance reports filed on Thursday night, which showed the McCain campaign and the R.N.C. had about $84 million left in the bank on Oct. 15, did not immediately appear to show any similar payments in the first half of October.
