I see both of them being examples of not being "fiscally conservative."

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Oct 23 '08, 07:29

how can someone say "let's do away with big government spending" after a $2,500+/day wardrobe bill? And a $400/day make-up bill?

it's just sad.

but hey, keep spending, republicans!

Responses:

though when you put it like that, $400 isn't an outrageous day-rate for a skilled person. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 07:47 2
- it's really not at all unreasonable. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:52
- yeah, there's no reason a high-end makeup professional couldn't be charging $100/hr, which makes the number much more realistic. -- nm - znufrii Oct 23, 07:50

- agreed. It costs a lot to make public appearances. This strikes me as totally silly to talk about. -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:52
- though the dems could pull the "we're not billing our makeup to the taxpayers." card. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 07:48
- *shrug* She's tossed it out there that this is the platform they were running on, so I think it's valid. - JaxSean Oct 23, 07:46 5
  - I agree. Don't talk about Joe the Plumber and his needs when you're spending 3-4 years of his salary on your campaign wardrobe. nm -- nm - Jim Oct 23, 07:50 4

      - I'm posting it here because bringing this to the new board is not what I want to do... - Jim Oct 23, 08:03
    - you mean like talking about the environment while you have your own campaign plane (Al Gore)? -- nm - loosilu Oct 23, 07:53
    - I disagree. in the realm of a campaign, logic takes a backseat to image. - znufrii Oct 23, 07:52
