Did you see/hear the news today?
Sarah Palin got an extreme make-over to the tune of $150,000 worth of clothing and accessories, paid for by the Republican National Committee! What? They didn't like her moose-hunting clothes?
Now we know why she looked so sharp at the convention and since; right? And her family, too? I wonder - did they pay for Levi's suit, too?
Just how does one person spend $75,000 at Neiman Marcus in one shopping spree? Guess you need a parade of people running through the store with the RNC credit cards and just grabbing blouses and skirts off the rack. Did they all fit? Was she even there?
And $49,000 at Saks Fifth Avenue stores in St. Louis and New York. And $4,700 on hair and make-up?
Does anyone believe for two seconds that the clothes were to be donated on November 5? Or even on January 21? Yeah, sure... And she'll be back in Alaska in her jeans?
Hadn 't thought of the taxable-income angle until I read about the griping of big-dollar donors to the RNC. And what's the value of "used" clothes at the Goodwill?
Oh, wait! Worn by a wanna-be vice-president? Maybe they appreciated in value! Then Sarah and family will have taxable income on the clothing AND on the gain in their value. Guess the RNC will have to kick in for the taxes. And that will generate more taxable income... And then they'll have to kick in more for taxes. And that will ...
Anybody sick yet?

Like John Edwards never got a $400 hair cut before. Oh wait...he did. Come on. The only people that have a right to be upset are those who contributed to the RNC. These are not public monies; and if the RNC feels it's necessary to spend that money, that's their prerogative. How much money is spent on other Dem candidates by the DNC ?? Don't know...find out. I'm sure Obama has a few suits in his closet. Oh wait ... Tony Rezko bought those. Never mind.
Kyle, thanks for your comment. I don't know (or care) who paid for Edwards' haircut. But $400 is a far cry from $150,000. I guess the public is seeing a Glamour Shots Sarah. I wonder what she really looks like.
What do you think about her "family trips" on the Alaskan taxpayers? Sounds like the "Golden Rule" to me (she who has the gold, rules).
Of course, Obama has some suits in his closet. You would expect a sitting Senator to have several.
Accusing Obama of getting those suits from Rezko is a cheap shot. Prove it.
I'll challenge any statement that is likely libelous, regardless of party affiliation.
