Stopped The Presses: Palin Got Another $30,000 In Clothing
Politico brings you an update on the most important story of the election cycle (judging by the amount of media attention paid to it):
The Republican National Committee will report Thursday that it spent about another $30,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin during her vice presidential bid, a GOP source tells Politico.
Palin took a major public relations hit when Politico revealed that the RNC in September shelled out $150,000 for clothes and accessories from high-end retailers for the Alaska governor, who built her political persona around a folksy, regular-gal demeanor.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama just spent more on an election campaign for President than any other politician in the history of this country.
Discussion question: Has anyone asked how much the Obama campaign spent on The One’s clothing? Or on his wife’s clothing? Or how much the custom, embroidered seats on his private campaign airplane cost?
Seems that if Palin’s wardrobe costs are important details, so are those.
Aren’t double standards lovely?
