AP: Palin's father says daughter is sorting through clothes to see which owned by Republican Party

[brooklynite]

WASILLA, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spent part of the weekend going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican Party after it spent $150,000-plus on a wardrobe for the vice presidential nominee, according to Palin's father.

Palin and John McCain's campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee. Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.

Palin's father, Chuck Heath, said his daughter spent the day Saturday trying to figure out what belongs to the RNC.

"She was just frantically ... trying to sort stuff out," Heath said. "That's the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for."

1. This is a stupid controversy that we don't need to be hearing about

nt

9. I dont' think it is a stupid controversy at all.....just one more example of Palin lying

She said multiple times to reporters that all of this was a faux controversy because the RNC owned the clothes and would be given to charity after the campaign.

Why in the hell did she bring them back to Alaska with her. There were plenty of RNC people at the concession speech on Election Night and she could have handed them over then.

She is a liar. And a grifter. And she needs to exposed for what she is.

2. Didn't anyone explain to her she'd have to give the stuff back when she buying it all?

And, yes, let the Palin's keep their underwear at least.

3. This just underlines the fact that she never had any intention of returning them

prior to the media coverage.

4. This just underlines the point

that when she said the clothes were in "the belly of the airplane," they just hadn't been offloaded yet. Sarah, you may think you're getting away with your disingenuousness, but some of us are paying attention.

5. Wondr if they are all in a ball in a hamper.

6. the kids lose underwear?

WTF - My kids didn't lose underwear. Sweatshirts, yes. Jackets, yes. Umbrellas, sure. But, for the life of me I can't remember any of my boys ever losing any underwear.

15. My house eats socks and underwear for some reason.

:shrug: Might have something to do with people never using the hamper. :eyes:

[DoctorMyEyes]

16. LOL!

We lost socks too! I blame the dryer.

[Obamanaut]

19. Navy ships have a special machine that rips buttons off, and then

shoots them through the toes of socks.

Maybe those machines are gone now. I'm retired.

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. LOL nice machines. What did you guys clean your clothes with, a sand blaster?

[chollybocker]

7. "the kids lose underwear"??

What is wrong with these people? No wonder they're always getting pregnant.

[RayOfHope]

8. Hey Sarah, you liar, I thought it was going to charity. Lying liar. n/t

[piesRsquare]

10. And what the hell is Palin doing...

...buying her kids underwear with RNC money?

She was supposed to buy clothing FOR HERSELF for the campaign. Even if the family was to get new clothing as well (for the campaign trail), that doesn't mean new underwear.

"Chuck" just essentially told the press that his daughter Sarah has been lying. Is anyone *really* going to believe that it was the campaign workers who bought underwear for Palin's kids?

It seems stupid runs in that family...

[chollybocker]

14. And Levi isn't even a family member (yet)

No way those nice suits he was wearing came from the closet of a 'proud redneck'.

[WI_DEM]

11. They are going to turn in the underwear, too?

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. Oy...this shit is just tawdry

I'm skeeved.

[TexasObserver]

13. The ones that don't smell like Moose are the RNC's, Sarah.

[The Blue Flower]

17. Comic gold

This is the funniest ending to a campaign in history. Says everything anyone needs to know about the R ticket. It will be so fun to read about it in the history books!

[qanda]

18. This is easy. If the tag says Katie Lee or Jacqueline Smith, it belongs to Palin

All the rest go back.

[Bluenorthwest]

20. Just the other day she was saying she had no RNC

clothing, it was all goin' back it the belly of the jet, you know. She lies like other people breath, and her husband is a secessionist in silk boxers. Frantic!

[frylock]

21. tell you what, why don't you go ahead and keep the underwear

[Betsy Ross]

23. I have to get my jaw wired.

It broke when it dropped over the silk boxers.

[xultar]

24. First off, the kids shouldn't have been lugged around the fucking country...

Second, her lazy ass needs an effing job husband should have stayed with the kids back in Alaska...

BTW does he have to return his silk boxers?
