Mitt Romney spent $300 on make-up consultant
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/18/wmitt118.xml

Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate famous for his personal grooming as well as his policies, spent $300 on a make-up consultant, according to papers released under election spending declarations.

The revelations are an embarrassment for the former Governor of Massachusetts, who leads the polls in the states which hold the first election ballots.

Democrat challenger John Edwards was subjected to ridicule when it emerged that he spent anywhere between $400 and $1,200 for a haircut.

Mr Romney listed the fees as “communications consulting” to a California company that describes itself as “a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and men’s grooming and spa services.”

1. Well, I'm gonna say it was *worth* it! Mitt looks hot.
Once he gets this politics bug out of his system he can go back to male modeling.

3. Well, that makes one of us.

I look at him and see a cardboard cut-out.

I hope everyone takes note of how much spending he's doing. We already have a fiscal crisis that's historically bad. He's spending shitloads as is - far outstripping what he's taking in, and he's already dipping into his own money. And it's still ridiculously early in campaign season.

2. Well, he still looks like a psychotic douchebag.
He should demand a refund.
