Style worth more than policy?
An acclaimed celebrity makeup artist for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin collected more money from John McCain’s campaign than his foreign policy advisor.
Amy Strozzi, who works on the reality show “So You Think You Can Dance” and has been Palin’s traveling stylist, was paid $22,800, according to campaign finance reports for the first two weeks of October. McCain’s foreign policy advisor, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed.
McCain’s campaign said the payment covered a portion of her work in September and a portion of October. An earlier report showed Strozzi was paid $13,200 for part of September.
