We love this:
John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his “celebrity” status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.
The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who’s worked on So You Think You Can Dance! and American Idol.
McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.
That’s a pretty good bargain…

Well doesn’t THAT make John Edward’s 400 buck haircut look like a pittance.
Keep this story going, and spread the word.
Somehow I would have guessed McCain got made up by someone working with a funeral home.
Okie
All that money and make up and he still looks like a corpse. Hopefully that price includes Cindy’s eyeliner too.

That’s not for a one-time deal people. Get a life. Everybody uses make up artists

I think the $83.43 was for all the extra make up that sunk into the wrinles and creases.

He probably could have gotten a Mortuary School student to do the cosmetics for free. And he probably would look better to boot.

She’s way overpriced. Either that, or we do NOT wanna ever see John McCain without makeup, because if what we’re seeing is the result of over $5000 worth of make expertise…
Be afraid, be very afraid.

Damn! I meant “makeup expertise” My proofreading is crap today.
(On the other hand, that 3AM phone call had better not be on a cam-phone, or I pity the caller!)

I smell an Obama commercial with “MAKE UP” as the punch line
