by now we’ve probably all heard about sarah palin spending $150,000.00 in the last 6 weeks on clothes.
but let’s think about that, or let’s at least put it in perspective.
maybe even just say it again: sarah palin has spent $150,000.00 on clothes in the last 6 weeks.
she’s a humble soccer mom? a frugal reformer?
ah boy, $150,000.00 on clothes? from money that was donated to the republican party?
that comes down to roughly $3,000.00 a day as her clothing budget(not to mention that $5,000.00 went
to buy clothes for her separatist husband, todd).
granted, she’s looked pretty good, and as a new yorker i’m pleased that she spent most of her rnc clothing
money here in manhattan(yes, it’s ironic that the alaskan soccer mom’s spending has mainly benefited
retailers here in good old new york city).
but how do republicans reconcile ‘soccer mom/frugal/reformer’ sarah palin with ‘i spend $150,000.00 in 6 weeks
on clothes’ sarah palin?
i dunno, if i had donated money to the republican party(which, you’ve probably figured out by now, i didn’t)i think i’d be kind of pissed
off that my vp candidate was spending $150,000.00 of donation money in 6 weeks on clothes.
remember the outrage when it was revealed that john edwards spent $400 on a haircut?
$400 would buy you roughly 1/15th of the red leather jacket that sarah palin was wearing recently.
i guess the new joke/line will be ‘what’s the difference between a pit-bull and sarah palin? a $5,000 ferragamo
dress from saks fifth avenue, paid in full by the people who donated to the republican party.’
