[Politics] Sarah Palin and the $150,000 wardrobe

[emandink]

Pretty much anything I could possible say about this, ayun  has said better.  The knock off bag thing slays me.

I will add that evidently not even $150,000 worth of designer clothes which were probably purchased in some urban bastion of non-Americanism are enough to make Sarah Palin "elite."

I can understand the idea of spending some money to update and upgrade her wardrobe to look a little more "presidential". I can get with that. But they could've easily done it on a tenth of that budget and still look "designer" or put together. Geez. And donate it to charity? WTF is that about? That just sounds weird. Again, there's a big disconnect. So much of that could've been advertising or put to some other use. This is why the GOP shouldn't be handling our money! They don't know how to budget and spend wisely!

Reverse Cindarella. Sorry, missy, you lost the VP spot. Back to turtlenecks and stretchy pants. The fancy duds stay here.

Seriously. I completely read the "oh, it will all be 'put to cheritable purpose'" as a tacit admission that she's not going to have any need for a "State Function" wardrobe after November 4.
