EXCLUSIVE: John McCain Uses Idol Makeup Artist!
Wednesday September 24, 2008

John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his "celebrity" status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.

The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who's worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.

See photos of John McCain and Sarah Palin on the campaign trail.

The first presidential debate between McCain and Obama airs Friday night.

It must cost a lot to "trowel it on like a trollop, you c*nt!"

What an elitist!!!!

You do realize you misspelled "pricey" in your thread title right?

So are Sean Hannity and Rush going to rip up McCain on this like they ripped Edwards for his haircut?

Dude was robbed unless of course he was going for the undead look.

This chick is good at what she does. Made McCain look 20 years younger than he is at the Debate. That's impressive!

So here is a photo of McCain where he isn't made up:

And here is one from the debate:

For a piece of Presidential election history, when Nixon lost to Kennedy in 1960, many say his lack of make up made him look ghoulish compared to JFK's appearance and cost him the election.

Nixon looked haggard, at least partly because he brushed aside advice and appeared before the cameras wearing no makeup. His TV adviser, Ted Rogers, said later that Nixon's pasty skin tone -- the result of a two-week hospital stay following a serious knee injury -- and his perpetual 5 o'clock shadow would have benefited from a little makeup, especially when he was pictured alongside a tanned, fit-looking JFK.

Nixon also fidgeted a lot, he was sweating, and his beady eyes darted around nervously. On top of that he wore a gray suit, which blended into the background. Although some of these problems were fixed for the subsequent debates (there wasn't much that could be done with those beady eyes), the damage had been done.
