The mainstream media can’t find anything of substance to hang on Sarah Palin so now they are going to show just how out of touch she is with “Joe Six pack” by saying she spent $150,000 on clothes and accessories. 

Like normal, I was eating lunch and minding my own business.  I picked up the Seattle PI (wish I had a bird) and the front page story was that Sarah Palin spent $150,000 on clothes.  They had two pictures of her.  One wearing a pink coat and pink turtle neck and one wearing a black designer dress.  I believe that they were trying to display before and after pictures.  They were trying to demonstrate how she has changed what she wears since becoming the VP candidate.  If you read the captions under the pictures though you would notice that in one picture she was at a state fair and the other the Republican National Convention.  I think you would dress just a bit different if you we’re going to attend both events.   For god’s sake, did they want her walking out in Carhartts and LL Beans. 

There was also a reference to what the average U.S. Household spent in 2006.  Somewhere around $1800 – $2000 (don’t quote me, left paper in the deli).  I guess this again is to show just how out of line she is with the “Hockey Moms” of the country.  You haven’t heard from Obama or Biden on this though…most likely because their suits, clothing, etc.  exceed the U.S Household average.

Back to the point of $150,000 in clothes though.  What everyone needs to understand is that it didn’t cost us, the taxpayer, anything.  The RNC paid for the clothing.  She has to campaign in 50 states…sometimes multiple times in a day.  Did they want her to stop of at the Wash-n-Wait to do laundry between events?  If anyone has the right to be pissed of its donors to the RNC.  Why the democrats are twisted over this is beyond me.  Beside, they’re all going to charity or auction after the campaign, figured they would be happy with that.  Heck, they should be angry that Obama’s using his campaign plane, a Boeing 767 to go and visit his grandmother in Hawaii.  How much do you think it cost to operate one of those?  Do you think he filled it to capacity with people travelling to Hawaii…think not.  And I guess that he and his entourage will be staying with grandma while in Hawaii….like hell.  Who’s paying for that!
