Work It! Work those boots Sarah!
Karen Hughes spoke on Larry King Live tonight (CNN) about Sarah Palin’s wardrobe and she was wearing a leopard print silk blouse. And as I type this I am wearing unmatching pajamas and old ratty stained slippers. So who has a better leg to stand on? I don’t know, actually.
Within moments of being chosen as John McCain’s running mate the Republican National Convention had shoppers at Neiman Marcus and Saks shopping for new clothes for Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. They have spent over $150,000 so far on clothing, make-up and accessories. It was also reported by the Huffington Post and the Politico that the RNC also purchased clothing for her husband Todd Palin and her infant son.
Did you donate money to the RNC? Do you mind that your money was spent on such adornments? I have heard that they plan to donate the clothes to charity but I do not have a source to back up that claim.
With all the crisis going on in this country right now it is shameful that we are discussing this issue. Shameful that thirteen days before the most crucial and pivotal Presidential election in our nation’s history we are discussing a state governor/Vice Presidential candidate’s clothing as the headline story on Larry King Live.
McCain headquarters has said this is a trivial issue.
I think I agree.
Be careful what you say Democrats, it wasn’t too long ago that Republicans jumped on John Edwards for getting a $400 haircut with his own campaign funds. He later paid the campaign back with his own money. It isn’t unheard of for candidates running for a major office to treat themselves to some fancy tailoring and primping. It really just gives us something to talk about on a slow news day, or when the DOW drops yet another 500 points.
More evidence of what RNC donors paid for:
…. at least she wears it well?
