It Costs 5k To Make John McCain Look Alive

Remember all the fuss when John Edwards paid $400 for a haircut? Well, he was only cutting his hair, not attempting to make himself look not dead. John McCain, on the other hand, is engaged in a daily battle with his skin and it is not cheap.

The celebrity gossips at US Weekly report the Republican presidential candidate has spent more than $5,500 for a makeup artist better known for her work in Hollywood.

But Barack Obama is a "celebrity!"

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.

Holy shit. He actually got the make-up artist from American Idol. This is priceless.
