What would happen if Barack and Michelle had taken $150K of your donations and

[tblue]

spent that on clothes? Would we ever, ever hear the end of it?

[BrklynLiberal]

1. There would be a big party in freeperland...fireworks and champagne

[BrklynLiberal]

2. oops...another system dupe

[amitten]

3. It's disgusting that was spent all on Palin.

And hell, she doesn't even look that great.

[ecstatic]

4. and hasn't it only been 7 weeks? That's over 20,000/week. WTF?

:wtf:

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. Palin is totally 'working the system" with her trips with kids, Per diem for staying in her own home

and now this. She's totally corrupt.

[tblue]

17. So Joe the Plumber must pay for her facials, manicures, pedicures, hair & makeup

in addition to her clothes & those of her kids.

How can she spend that much frickin' money?!!! Geez!

[tblue]

5. And WE are the elite????

I'm not poor but I buy my clothes at Marshall's, Target, and Ross, and I even shop at fricking thrift stores! Don't get me wrong -- I have my own style, I wear jeans and boots and I love what I wear. I'm a bargain shopper. I'm not into fashion for fashion's sake and I don't dress to impress anyone but myself. I can see that she has to look decent, but come on! To spend that amount of bread in that amount of time? And I am the elite????

btw, Your post made me laugh! Thx!

6. Why didn't they just take her to…

Walmart? Isn't that supposed to be her demographic? And why couldn't she buy her own clothes? This must be like a fairytale for her. I know it's been a nightmare for me.

[rebel with a cause]

16. Why didn't they just have her go on "What Not To Wear"

They give you $5,ooo to buy clothes and give you a complete make over. Plus, the clothes you buy are either approved or disapproved by their fashion police. Then think of all the free publicity. I can just see palin as they threw her old clothes in the trash can. :rofl:

[These Eyes]

19. Good one!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[last1standing]

7. I support the RNC fully in this.

In fact, I think they need to increase her wardrobe allowance ten-fold. Every dollar spent on this greedy woman's vanity is a dollar not being used to smear Obama with lies.

[tblue]

11. Yeah. And throw in a life-sized American flag diamond brooch for good measure!

Vanity is the right word. Yep. That sums up Sarah to a 'T.'

[BlooInBloo]

8. Note the timing: First we get smear about Michelle and lobster....

THEN we find out the truth about Palin and clothes.

EDIT: Again, there's a lesson to be learned here.

[cliffordu]

10. That train is never late.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Michelle's smear and the revelation about Palin's $150,000, McCryptkeepers $8.700/Sept of make-up

are directly connected.

[LynnTheDem]

9. And billed taxpayers for trips and hotels for their kids?

And amended excpense claims after the fact to say they were "business" trips?

And and and and and...

Oh yeah, we'd hear about it then.

Tax fraud.

Theft of taxpayer money.

But too many repuvlicans think it's ok...as long as you're a republican doing the theft and fraud.

[Median Democrat]

12. McCain Campaign Has Already Blamed The MSM - Watch the MSM Back Off Like A Scolded Puppy

I also expect by tommorrow for McCain to (1) blame Obama, and (2) ask why the MSM has not looked into Obama's expenses (it has, Michelle buys off the rack).

[renate]

14. I'd be especially pissed if she still looked like that after $150K

I like her (non-up-do) hair, I love her shoes and boots, and she's had a COUPLE of good outfits.

But the rest?... girlfriend, PLEASE. She dresses like a 90-year-old Dallas matron. Those suits with those giant buttons?... :puke:

[LisaL]

15. RNC should have send Palin on "What not to wear."

For five grands she could have gotten the whole wardrobe (and makeup lessons).

[rebel with a cause]

18. I just posted this up thread.

I have got to read the whole thread before I post. :7

[terrya]

20. We all know the answer to that.

[TNMOM]

21. how many volunteers could they have paid for with that kindof money?

I agree it takes a lot of work to make a trashy family look wholesome. But damn, what a waste.

[pdxmom]

23. Mika Mouse just implied that they have. And with not one shred of

evidence. And she's trying to say she's not defending Palin.

[genna]

24. We'd be levitating and crying bloody murder at Obama. Forget the media. It would be US.
