Interesting Comparisons

Remember all the fuss when the McCain campaign spent $150K on a new wardrobe for Sarah Palin? Rivers of ink and mega-gigabytes of bandwidth spent on hashing out that story for a couple of weeks.

And now this interesting item about our First Lady. Apparently the woman requires a personal staff of 26 (that's TWENTY SIX), with a combined annual salary topping $1.5 million.

For comparison, the elitist, plutocratic Bush women (Barbara and Laura) only required one taxpayer-funded staff person each. Even Hilary Clinton somehow managed with a staff of three.

Can you imagine the media outcry if a Republican first lady had ramped up the First Lady Court to such a degree, and at such expense, in the middle of a recession?
