Sarah Palin Spent $40,000 On Luxury Goods For Todd

Washington Post's Reliable Sources column reports on more Palin clothing expenditures, this time for Todd:

On top of the $150,000 first outlined in Federal Election Commission filings, Palin spent "tens of thousands of dollars" on additional clothing, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for her husband, Todd, our colleague Michael Shear reports. The campaign was charged for silk boxer shorts, spray tanners and 13 suitcases to carry all the designer clothes, according to two GOP insiders.

Now that it is over, Palin is claiming that she never set foot in any of the stores and that the RNC did the shopping, etc. My question is, where are the people who sold these clothes? There seems to be a simple answer to this. Who bought the clothes and from whom? Someone knows this from the stores.

They be stylin'! Do you think in an alternate universe McCain/Palin won the election? I'm glad we're here.

I remember hotel guests getting stopped at a resort hotel with a car trunk full of hotel silverware. I wonder if they were related to these folk?

[misspris]

Excuse me- that was $20,000 PER HOUR for the chartered plane.

What was the tanning spray for?

If anyone needs to see any more proof that palin should NEVER get anywhere near a position of power again (I wonder how many Alaskans had their eyes opened about how much money Miss Greedy was hitting them up for with her unbelievable charges to the state, like awarding herself money for living in her OWN HOME!) this should do it. The people of the nation are going without the basic necessities and this b!*@# is spending $15,000.00 a month on make-up! She would probably want solid-gold toilet seats in the White House and need a new pair of shoes after walking from the East Wing to the Oval Office. The greedy repubs need to be stopped and permanently doesn't sound too bad. Just as they were more than happy to reduce the populace to the ultra-haves and the slave- labor with their ideas of a "permantent republican majority", they need to be slapped down so hard by the Democratic Party which represents the PEOPLE, that they will not fully regain their feet for fifty years. Maybe they will have learned by then the meaning of "WE, THE PEOPLE..."

All the "Talented" men and women in this country and McCain picks Sarah Palin. What does this tell you about McCain ? This fiasco is all on him. She is just another former "High School Cheerleader Type" who was always in the spotlight because of her looks who faced the moment of truth when she was interviewed by Katie Couric. 5 different colleges in 4 years, get real.

Everyone needs to remember what they felt like when they realized that this person was denied access to the highest office in the land. Remember what made you want to deny her that priviledge, because when she "rears her head" again in 2012, she will have help and money. She must never be allowed in - never.

[hopefull2008]

She's not smart enough to thiink this all the way through....from McCain campaign and RNC accounting to her own tax returns ... she's in a big mess.

[Star2000dancer]

Screw Palin, I never want to see her or hear her name again!

[elakelaiset]

espeecially that eeccent...sounds like Pickles from Metalocalypse.

[popartusa]

i was married to a woman who could tell a lie as easily as tell the the truth because to her they were the same thing...in her mind everything she said she truly believed to be true...perhaps Palin is simply unable to detect a lie when it comes from her mouth. That being the case she is never to be believed.

I know you've all seen this, but it just fits so well:

YOu would think someone who has run for public office and is on the same ticket as John Sidney McCain, would have a clue about clothing purchases being allowed. What a twit.

[YesIAgree]

Take your prince and go home Cinderella, the glass slipper didn't fit this time and never will!!!

[mikey76]

And this woman said she did not, that she wouldn't answer questions about this because those making the accusations would not step forward. She is a liar. Newsweek editors embedded with the campaign have come forward. And yet you will see her lie again tonight on the Fix TV network in an interview with Greta.

Deny, deny and lie!
