You know Phil, even 3+ years later, I have to disagree. I think if Palin had shown up in shmatas she would have been shredded and completely discredited for looking unpresidential. I don’t think she would have been afforded any parallel to Joe the Plumber, neither solely nor soul-ly. He was raised onto a pedestal in his $35 jeans; she would have been crucified for it.

No reflection on Emily’s opinion…
Had Palin continuously been seen in shmatas, she would have been truly accepted as a person of the people and sole mate of “Joe the Plumber.” Now she is just a sartorially respendent plutocrat, wanna be.

Thanks for the support, Juju. And for the nod, Dad.

And in actuality, she wasn’t even spending the money, a personal shopper was — and most of it was the week of the Rep Convention when Palin probably arrived in Minnesota with an outfit that made someone say, “Um, she can’t go on tv tomorrow in front of 35 million people in that.” Not standing next to Cindy McCain dripping in over a quarter-million worth of jewels, she can’t. You don’t have to agree with the expense to understand the rush to shop.

There are so many reasons to dislike Palin. This is just not a good one.

That said, it’s a LOT of money, and I understand why people are ticked off.

I agree with Emily that this is a nefarious rant for the Dems to take on. After all, Sarah was spending RNC money, which I would much rather have going toward her wardrobe than to smears against Obama.
