The highest paid individual in Senator John McCain’s presidential campaign during the first half of October was Amy Strozzi. Ms. Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance?”, is Gov. Sarah Palin’s traveling makeup artist.

According to campaign records, Ms. Strozzi was paid $22,800 for the first two weeks of October alone. Payments made to Ms. Strozzi were recorded as “Personnel Svc/Equipment.”

So much for campaign reform …

Plus … if a whole bunch of idiots actually vote this pair into office … I am not, as a taxpayer, going to pay for a daily makeup artist. If she can’t learn to put her makeup on just like the rest of the hockey moms do across this nation, she can pay for that herself … out of her VP salary … but not out of some ‘make-up bonus’ so she can be eternally beauty pagent lovely. Not only that … I don’t believe there should be anyone by the title of ‘make-up’ artist on the white house payroll.
