I don't have much to add to what others have said about the Politico's ridiculous story "Romney Spent $300 on Makeup 'Consulting'" (wouldn't you have assumed it was a lot more? for him and every other top-tier candidate?), but I will say that if this story can appear and the folks who did that "I Got a Crush ... on Obama" video have now come up with a video in which a "Giuliani Girl" challenges "Obama Girl," then maybe it's finally acceptable to trivialize Republicans as silly figures of fun competing in a meat market, rather than giants bestriding the earth. That gives me hope for '08, at least until Maureen Dowd's 675th "Obambi"/"Breck Girl" column, which should be appearing any day now.
