Mitt Romney's $300 Makeup Billed as "Communications Consulting"
New financial reports reveal the presidential campaign of Republican hopeful Mitt Romney is spending money much faster that its fundraising has allowed, so much so, the "fiscal conservative" had "to lend his committee $6.5 million during the quarter, allowing him to cover the difference between $20.5 million he spent and the $14 million he raised."
Another $300 also went for makeup services before the first Republican debate in California in May. It was listed in the report as "communications consulting" because the fee was paid by Romney's communications staff.
The expensive grooming consulting session was performed by “a mobile beauty team for hair, makeup and men’s grooming and spa services,” which, well, sounds pretty gay. Which is very interesting, because Matt Drudge, the closet case gay conservative headline writer, should be all over this one, no?

Certainly anyone that made a big deal about Edwards $400 hair cut should give equal time. I think the fact that his fundraising is so far behind his spending is much more important. Must be nice to toss a few million, that you have laying around, in to cover the difference.

I didn't know it was that expensive for the android look, and, make up on a man, is that allowed by the book of Mormon? I wonder as men are supposed to be "men" and i didn't know "real men" worse makeup, no matter the reason, LOL!
