Let's Go Shopping!
Have you noticed that Sarah Palin always manages to look flashy and stylish yet hardly wears the same outfit twice? Well that's because she and her family have spent $150,000 of Republican Party money on clothes since joining the McCain ticket. According to the campaign finance bill "coincidently" passed by John McCain himself, it is illegal for a campaign to provide for the personal needs of its members. However, the law places no restrictions on political parties. Accordingly, the Republican National Committee financed a neat little shopping spree for the Palins. To aviod concerns over the legality of this action, the RNC claims that the clothes are its property, and that following the election, they will be returned and donated to charities. So if you see a homeless woman walking around in a chic fitted jacket and little black skirt on November 5th, you'll know why. I just hope they'll be giving away some of those rimless glasses, too. I'm a big fan.

I want to see a break down of what exactly was spent on whom. I want to know how much was spent to suit up the Gov. and how much was spent to rally the family in good duds. And I am serious about this.I am not trying to be funny about something I could really make fun of. Since when does a party or business pay to dress the spouse or kid-lets?
ReplyDeleteIf it is true that a candidate's behaviors during a campaign while running for office indicate how they will lead once in office, then the McCain ticket has got to be struggling with the decision to court the Hillary vote by selecting a populist woman with the common touch. Just how many Republicans are rolling over in their graves right now?
What was wrong with camo anyway?
