To all of those Republicans who mocked John Edwards' $450 haircut:

The Republican National Committee spent about $150,000 on clothing, hair styling, makeup and other "campaign accessories" in September for the McCain campaign after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin joined the ticket as his running mate.

...

The expenses include $75,062 spent at Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis and $41,850 in St. Louis in early September. The committee also reported spending $4,100 for makeup and hair consulting. The expenses were first reported by Politico.com.

The RNC also spent $4,902 at Atelier, a stylish men's clothing store in New York. Other purchases included a $92 romper and matching hat with ears for Palin's baby, Trig, at Pacifier, a baby store in Minneapolis.

Even the future first baby (if elected) is getting in on the action.  No wonder their campaign is in trouble!  We can't trust them to manage our money with this kind of waste in their own campaign!!!

relawson,

Thanks for posting this.  I lost track of how bad they went after Edwards for getting that haircut.  It doesn't seem so bad any more.  This is a great talking point for the news people who are obsessed with this story.  LOL.
