The latest on Michele Bachmann:
After launching her bid for the White House, Bachmann has broken with her usual frugality and shelled out some serious cash on a stylist in what could be seen as her own John-Edwards’-$400-haircut moment.
According to Bachmann’s latest campaign finance filings, her campaign spent nearly $4,700 on hair and makeup in the weeks after she entered the presidential race on June 13. Records show her campaign made three payments of $1,715, $250, and $2,704 to a Maryland-based stylist named Tamara Robertson….blah blah blah….
I really, really wish we could knock off this stuff. Presidential candidates have to look good, and female candidates especially have to look good. It’s unfair, but it’s the way things are. To then turn around and gripe about their styling bills is shamelessly petty. MoJo is better than this.
