GOP Paid $55,000 For Palin's Fashion Stylist

Another day, another story about Palin's clothing and styling expenditures. On Wednesday it was the news of more spending on "accessories," as revealed in a new report filed with the Federal Elections Commission. Then on Thursday it was the story of another $55,000 in payments by the McCain campaign to Palin's hair and makeup stylists during the election's final weeks. And today it's the revelation of yet more spending on stylists, this time for Palin's "fashion stylist." The New York Times reports:

A woman who appears from campaign finance records to have been Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's fashion stylist was paid $54,900 by the Republican National Committee, according to a new report filed with the Federal Election Commission.

A charge for that amount to "Lisa Kline & Co." for "Consulting-Campaign" appears on Oct. 17 in the R.N.C.'s latest campaign finance report. Ms. Kline is a New York stylist whose name had previously appeared alongside some of the much ballyhooed $150,000 in charges for clothing and other "campaign accessories" from luxury stores like Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.

McCain was paying, accounting for the election expenditures is one thing, reality is the McCain campaign bought an accessory with all that money. There are parts of the country where he could have bought another house for that amount of money. But, for a well-heeled loafer such an accessory probably made sense in pocket book terms. It takes two heels to make a pair.

A t u r d spray painted gold is still a t u r d.

Man, she's high maintainence. How long did she campaign for again?

If she wants to run an actual election campaign lasting a year, how much will that cost? Those guys better start the fund raising for the fundamenta­list-raisi­ng pronto!

The nightmare continues. Another story about Sarah Palin! We know she abuses her position and circumstance. Stop already. Aren't there more pressing issues that we should concerned about, like say Global Warming, Terrorism, Economic Meltdown to name a few?

"Or maybe we have witnessed one of the biggest frauds in American political history and the biggest failures among the American media in a very, very long time."

Old news travels fast.

Well, the investment worked, didn't it? It got Gov. Palin a $7million book deal. If she really has traditional values, she will rush to reimburse the GOP for the gifts-- after all, she doesn't want to feel that someone was giving her a handout, right?

Sarah Palin is who she is...she's not a regular woman.

So SO what if she has wears pricey clothes, hair, makeup etc.

GET over it, people

Sarah Palin is a FARCE! Trig is not her baby! Sarah's actions will catch up, Just like OJ's!

Really...s­he portrayed herself as just another hockey mom.

If that is how the average person in Alaska lives, I'm moving tomorrow.

[DinkyP]

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Even if the sow wore lipstick.
