From head to toe, every piece of clothing worn by Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, has been picked at and prodded, from her rim-less $375 Kawasaki glasses to her red open-toed Naughty Monkey-brand shoes.
But scrutiny of her fashion sense reached to a new level after Politico reported yesterday that the Republican National Committee spent some $150,000 on high-end clothes and accessories for Palin and her family.
The expenditures, listed in a monthly financial disclosure filing with the Federal Elections Commission, included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for $49,425.74 and a $75,062.63 tab at a Neiman Marcus store in Minneapolis.
(The pricey clothes didn’t impress The Post’s Robin Givhan, who wrote in her “On Culture” column last month that Palin’s style was “exceptionally ordinary…Her clothes are unpretentious, but they are also unremarkable.” Givhan now calls the spending “plain stupid.“) — [MORE]

Sarah Palin spent more on clothes in one day than Joe the Plumber earns in 3+ years — does this make her a simple small town girl,…a middle class hockey mom? NOPE! Far from it. She his just another wicked Republican hypocrite…..a GOON!
Republican politicians — the custodians of sexual morality, friends of GOD, protectors of peasants and plumbers of “small-town” America.
….Hilarious!!!!

BobboSphere from DailyKos enlightens:
The GOP hardcore base embrace bigots and liars like McCain/Palin because in the darkness of their own souls they hold those same values. As individuals they are too dishonest to get up and admit that in public. McCain/Palin gives them permission to feel good about their own bigotry and small-mindedness. Armed with a permission slip from two major political candidates, they can give full throat to their own worst instincts. They are cowards and if they had any sense of decency they would feel a deep sense of shame and would come begging for our forgiveness.
