But instead of a Fifth Avenue spending spree, Ms Palin said that the clothes in question were "loaned to us during the (Republican National) Convention. And I don’t think it was anywhere near ... What did they say... $150 grand? It wasn’t anywhere near that.”
She added: “Those are not ours. We give those back, those go to charity or they’ll be auctioned off or whatever. That’s not even my property. So to be criticized for that, that is not who we are."
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Ms Palin said. “Those clothes are not my property. We had three days of using clothes that the RNC purchased.
"If people knew how Todd and I and our kids shop so frugally.
My favorite shop is a consignment [second-hand] shop in Anchorage, Alaska, called Out of the Closet. And my shoe store is called Shoe Fly in Juneau, Alaska,” she said.
“It’s not.. you know, it’s not Fifth Avenue type of shopping."
You miss the point, as did she. Nobody is critizing sarah palin for this - they are criticizing the entire ticket and the RNC AS A WHOLE for spending $150,000 on her clothing out of campaign funds.

Palin uses a store named "Out of the Closet"??? Hilarious! Is she trying to tell us something?
As to the other stuff she and her family USED the Saks and Nieman Marcus stuff, didn't they? She could've said , "what's good enough for Joe the Plumber's wife is good enough for us."

She didn't.
So what is wrong with that? Michelle Obama lied about her clothes now didn't she.
I don't think Joe is married!
How can she say it was no where near $150k when there were receipts filed to prove it? What a blatant lie. She just outright lies, all the time, as if people don't see the proof.
I guess she buys her $700 glasses at consignment shops as well...

Where are the receipts? Sarah does have the receipts otherwise she would know the amount!
OMG now her glasses are 700.00 ..........Sorry...................... you are wrong they are 300 ish and they are back ordered as of the story they did on them.
Amy Strozzi, who works on the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance" and has been Palin's traveling stylist, was paid $22,800, according to campaign finance reports for the first two weeks in October. In contrast, McCain's foreign policy adviser, Randy Scheunemann, was paid $12,500, the report showed.
Sarah is really like "us" unlike the elitist Michelle Obama! hahaha
