Blair's Wife Spent $13,700 On Hairstyle In One Month

[joeunderdog]

LONDON -- It took $13,700 to make the hair look good for a month.

A London newspaper said Prime Minister Tony Blair's Labor Party spent almost $14,000 on hairstyling bills for Blair's wife during last year's month-long general election campaign.

The Times said the party lists the styling bills as an election expense of $490 a day for a month of campaigning.

A Labor spokeswoman responded, "So what?" She said Cherie Blair worked hard and is enormously popular, then added, "Don't forget, we won the election."

1. Not unreasonable when you consider

her stylist traveled with her, did her hair between appearances and several times a day and probably did her makeup and wardrobe, as well.

Theater costs.

The hairdresser is making out like a bandit, imo.

14. Uh......cause it shows how Bush's cronies waste money?

And because some American Liberals (like moi) live in the UK and hate to see taxes go to Princess Chinless for her bad hair days..........and to top it off........all of the money was wasted.....she still has butt ugly hair. :patriot:

[malaise]

13. What a waste since

it didn't help.
