Slog - Comments on Remember When $400 Haircuts Were Hopelessly Elitist? http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/remember_when_400_haircuts_were_hopeless How about the $22,800 makeup job? When you add that to the $150,000 shopping spree, the $21,012 worth of travel expenses Palin illegally billed to the state of Alaska, and the $17,059 Palin collected from the state of Alaska in "per diem" charges for 300 nights she actually spent in her home, Sarah Palin starts looking like one really expensive—and really corrupt—date. But, hey, she's opposed to socialism and welfare, according to the McCain camp's latest attacks. Contrast that with Obama—that dude thinks the government should pay for everything....

Elitism was a sort of secondary criticism.

That's only like $570K a year. McCain's campaign sure has made sure their people are squarely middle-class, eh? ($570,000

The Palins have $1m in assets after building a $500,000 home, with them earning varying sums, but perhaps $100,000 to $150,000 a year raising five children. The contractors on her home appear to overlap with those that built the wrongly-sited, poorly budget sports center (also near her home, but not close to most of Wasilla's population). Johnston also notes that various reimbursements she received as governor aren't reported correctly as income.

Palin to bill the State of Alaska for five days at a swanky hotel on Central Park in New York, for herself and her daughter Bristol.



Even though the conference she attended lasted only six hours, I'm sure Gov. Palin used the extra days to enlighten her young daughter about the diversity of the city, no doubt pointing out how New york is a microcosm of the world itself, with people representing a multitude of nations, as well as various sexual persuasions and lifestyles coexisting peacefully.



Or perhaps NOT?!? Maybe after the election, when Caribou Barbie returns to her White House of the North igloo, Alaskans themselves will look a little more closely at this Femme Fatale Fraud.

The highest-paid person is a makeup artist, and yet McCain still looks like shit. 'Nuff said.
