Senator Ted Stevens “has broken his trust with the people” and should step down, his fellow Republican Senator John McCain said on Tuesday, a day after Mr. Stevens was convicted of violating federal ethics laws for failing to report tens of thousands of dollars in gifts and services he had received from friends.

Does anybody knows that who is the Palin’s highest paid staffer? I think nobody would have guessed it. That’s Sarah Palin’s Make-up Artist. Her Make-up atrist earns in two weeks more than some in a year. How will the Republican Party deal with this new revelation? Wouldn’t they realize how the public might react to such a tidbit? I am flabbergasted that the Republican Party doesn’t sense these hot-button issues in advance.

A Huffington atricle report revealed that Sarah Palin’s makeup stylist cost $22,800. And that is just for the first two weeks of October. Apparently they paid her more than any other McCain staffer.

But not only the Huffington Post reports about this. The New York Times reveal that “Amy Strozzi, who was nominated for an Emmy award for her makeup work on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance?”, was paid $22,800.”

Sarah Palin and John McCain explained that these designer clothes is going be donated, it does not answer why it was deemed appropriate to spend these sums in the first place. Surely, clothing for half the amount would have done the trick, too?

But, the question is, there is no solution to explain away the costs of a make-up artist. The Republican Party simply can’t donate any left-over Palin lipstick, or can they? Will this erupt in a new scandal around Sarah Palin?

Heading into the final week of the presidential campaign,John McCain and Barack Obama will spend all their time in states that President Bush won last time. But now the situation seems to that McCain and his Republican Party are increasingly difficult situation.

An ABC News-Washington Post national poll gave Obama a 52-45 percent lead over McCain among likely voters, down from his 54-43 percent margin last week.

John McCain today in New Mexico pointed out that Barack Obama’s staff has already written a draft of an inaugural address, mocking the presumptuousness.

“When I pull this thing off, I have a request for my opponent,” John McCain said at rally here yestoday. “I want him to save that manuscript of his inaugural address and donate it to the Smithsonian, so they can put it right next to the Chicago paper that says ‘Dewey defeats Truman.’”

Today,Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton issued a statement Saturday saying Obama has not drafted for the inaugural speech.

While this charge is completely false and there is no draft of an inaugural address for Barack Obama, the last thing we need is a candidate like John McCain who just plans on rereading George Bush’s, the statement said.
