We Have a Winner!

$400 haircut for John Edwards. Lose! $3,000 haircut for Hillary Clinton. Fail! $520 shoes for John McCain? Bitch, please. $150,000 in clothes, including nearly $5000 in hair and makeup? Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner, folks: Sarah Palin!

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.

The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.

Does the McCain campaign deny this? Oh, hell no:

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we're spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses," said spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt. "It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign."

Christ! The woman spends $150,000 on clothes and make-up in one month, charges the state of Alaska whenever she goes home to sleep, and charges the state $21,000 to take her family on business trips. Not important? If elected Vice President, the woman could spend the entire $700 billion allotted for the bailout on her wardrobe.
