Sure, some homeless person living in a cardboard box wearing Manolo Blahnik shoes?

No, the Alaska treasury paid for her kids trips. Read the other threads.

Punish them all for spending too much money!!!

Palin clothing bill up, poll standing down - 2008 Presidential Campaign Blog - Political Intelligence - Boston.com

Politico also reported that its review of similar records for the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee turned up no similar spending.

That is 3 1/2 times my annual salary, and I manage to buy clothes, buy food, pay bills, and pay taxes on it--for both me and my wife.

Nah. If you ran a homeless shelter, would you rather be given a few pairs of Prada shoes to pass on to a select few lucky needy people, or would you rather be given the few thousand dollars that said shoes would've cost, to use to feed the inhabitants of your shelter for a month?

Even homeless people need to be fashionable! Especially when the expensive, designer clothes and accessories were donated by a lady who's always screaming about how "regular" and "everyday" she is.
