Blecch! Imagine - Palin foot odor!! Plus, they could be spattered with moose blood! <Retch>

Some Republican foot fetishist will no doubt obtain these and keep them in a hermetically sealed glass case, only bringing them out to be fondled and worshipped in private ceremonies.

Oh, yeah -- this guy.

[grasswire]

1. who is selling them?

And yes, stinky shoes do bring a LOT of money on eBay from fetishists.

[klook]

3. Her niece,

if you can believe the listing.

[alittlelark]

2. The reserve is not met, and the niece has poor grammar

[klook]

4. Hey, maybe it really is her niece, then. (n/t)

[mod mom]

5. Is this ok with the RNC donors?

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

6. Another genius in the family

I just read the text of the ebay listing and the alleged relative definitely has the Palin command of English.

[Frustratedlady]

8. And, spelling.

It will be interesting to see what the reserve is and how many other items they put up.

[merh]

7. photo that is on the page

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. She gave them as a present to her niece? I thought everything was in the custody of the RNC?

[Kahuna]

11. That's what I'm thinking. Keith Olbermann needs to know about this..

Hmmmmm.

[cali]

13. no, this was her own stuff prior to the big RNC clothes buy, I believe.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. So she had these before she became all gussied up by the RNC?

[cali]

21. yup, that's my understanding

for some reason i remember reading about those shoes way back when she was first introduced.

[fasttense]

10. When did these ugly shoes become famous?

I heard about the idiot Palin buying overpriced expensive clothes with the RNC campaign funds but were the shoes special or something?

[AlCzervik]

12. those shoes are about $90.

and that's without the palin taint on them.

[EFerrari]

14. I could never be Vice President because just looking at those shoes gives me vertigo.

[acmavm]

15. Red naughty monkey shoes. *snark* That's great!

[TexasObserver]

17. It's a family of grifters.

Don't the shoes belong the RNC?

Or did that come later?

[GentryDixon]

18. The wear pattern on the shoes is very suspect.

[NYC_SKP]

19. I'm gonna snatch those puppies up!!!

Of course, I'll sit and wait until 45 seconds before the auction ends and hit the button!

Naughty Monkey Sarah Palin Pumps, HERE I COME!!!

[BuelahWitch]

20. Both buyer and seller have 0 feedback

I'll bet somebody reneges on this auction...

[NYC_SKP]

24. No, I think they're bidding on their own item, shilling.

Other family members or friends with fresh accounts trying to give the appearance of interest in the item where there is none.

[BuelahWitch]

25. Oh, there's no doubt of that!
