It is the tone deafness not the wardrobe

[Perky]

The hypocisy is a Walmart Mom shopping at Saks and Nieman's.
I understand the need to make her look the VP part butit sgow a certain tone deafness when it comes to the campaign's choices in terms of the bill and the image, I mean we are talking like $2,000 a day on clothes.

1. I can't imagine what you can buy with that kind of money...

...any mother of five would rather pay down her mortgage with $150,000 than buy clothes.

2. Right. Palin is supposed to be the champion of the middle class, Joe the

plumber and Joe Six Pack. Yet, she's shopping at Saks and Neiman Marcus?????

3. I could put together an amazing wardrobe that would look much better...

...for a fraction of that price. I bought two outfits last year for a friend's wedding because I couldn't decide what to wear. The more expensive piece was in a Saks/Neiman's price range, and the other one came from Dillard's. The less expensive (and we're talking an EIGHTH of the price here) outfit looked equally as well-made and flattering as the other. Everyone who saw the two outfits together agreed.

I don't know what got into me on that really expensive dress, either. I returned it unworn a day later and felt much relieved. Spending that much for a dress really bothered me, and I'm glad I had the sense to undo my decision.
