Blair Spent Money On Makeup
Shocking!
Scandalous! Just over $3,000 in six years? That's like, $521 a year.
Or about half of what John Kerry spent on one haircut during his Presidential campaign.
Sarcasm aside, I don't see how this article made it to the AP "Top Stories" list. Its pretty lame. I mean, $521 a year seems like a pittance to keep a nation's leader looking decent during television and public appearances.
LONDON - British Prime Minister Tony Blair has spent more than 1,800 pounds (US$3,130) of taxpayers' money on makeup and cosmetic artists over the past six years, according to the government.
In a written answer to Parliament, the government revealed Blair's Downing Street office had spent 1,050.22 pounds (US$1,826.66) on cosmetics for the prime minister's media appearances since 1999. In the past two years, a further 791.20 pounds (US$1,376.14) had been spent on makeup artists.
