This story broke yesterday, that of the RNC spending 150k on Palin's clothes and hair, and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. Moreover this just adds to the negative view and doubts so many Americans already have toward the Alaskan fashion show known as Sarah Palin.
Quote:
There is already an attempt to blame the media -- as in, the liberal media would have looked askance at Palin if she wasn't clad in Neiman Marcus, but this won't wash. Republicans, RNC donors and at least one RNC staff member have e-mailed me tonight to share their utter (and not-for-attribution) disgust at the expenditures.
This sort of spending is without precedent -- the closest approximation for any campaign I've ever covered is make-up expenses for television interviews and commercial shoots -- , and Schmitt's weakly defensive response tonight indicates that the campaign is deeply embarrassed by it and has nothing to say in their defense. Spokespeople have clammed up, a sure sign that they're trying to figure out who authorized the expenses and who knew about them. Did Palin wear all of the clothing? Where is it kept?
The Democrats are going to have a lot more fun with this than is prudent, but the heat for this story will come from Republicans who cannot understand how their party would do something this stupid ... particularly (and, it must be said, viewed retroactively) during the collapse of the financial system and the probable beginning of a recession.
They needed to bring her up to Cindy McCain’s standards,,,,,,, she was wearing a $3,000 dress on stage the other day. Seems the republican party standards are a little higher then most Americans when it comes to spending money on clothing.
Palin and Cindy you go girls...you look great and others are making money because you spend money to look good!!!!
I haven't heard any complains from the stores that made money, so why should other people be bothered and on the side the give much money to charity, which Biden never heard off in his life....$ 900.- and having an icome of over $ 300K!!!! Well he only knows to spread other peoples money around!
Of, course not, because the Republican Party is The Party of shams and hypocrisy.
Hey, Joe Six Pack, we're one of you....
Then run off and spend what it would take Joe at least three years to make on cloths for Ms. Hockey Mom.
Got ta love you folks.
Really.. shops at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, spends 150k a month on clothes and hair..she's just your average Joe six pack hockey mom..isn't she?
What's next? It looks like Palin is under the microcope again. Will it be her nose hairs that will be on the news?
