Taxpayers paid for Palin's lipstick

The laughs never end with Failin' Palin, do they? Except it's really not very funny, because we're paying for her extravagance.

Now it turns out that $110,000 was spent on cosmetics and hair styling for the failed GOP vice-presidential candidate. Unlike the $180,000 that the Republican National Committee spent on her wardrobe just for one week, this lipstick allowance was effectively paid by taxpayers: It was purchased by the McCain campaign, which received public funding.

This is the Bushbots' version of a "populist", folks. They'll ridicule someone for wearing the same shoes for more than a year, but somebody who wastes thousands of taxpayer dollars on cosmetics (while America has the worst economy in 75 years) is called a champion of the people.

I also know of no media attempts to debunk this story. When some operative tried to discredit the true story about how Palin didn't know Africa was a continent, they fell flat on their face, so I guess they realize they're out of luck.
