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.

Spray-on tanner? Oh, Todd...you sure are a macho dude!

Spray-on tanner really does say it all about these two...Fake, fake, fake, fake, fake....

[stayinsouth1981]

I wonder if she measured the Lincoln bedroom as a possible TANNING BED room?

[helonias]

Si muy macho

[ideveloper]

The silk boxers are really for Sarah.

[Zenfull]

Actually, the silk boxers were going to be a surprise wedding present for Levi from Bristol...I blame the MSM jerks for their cowardly exposes that ruined the surprise.

The media are son in the tank for Obama. They keep on reporting the cute story about how he's going to get a dog for his daughters. But do they ever report that Sarah Palin wants to adopt a dinosaur for her kids? Nope.

[roshni]

i thought Palin only killed animals - you mean she adopts them?

[1differentdrummer]

Doesn't everybody in AK wear silk skivvies?

[LemonMeringue]

She did tell Katie she has trade missions with Russia, maybe they go over to China too. Can she see China from Alaska?

[Thinking-It-Through]

I just hope she loses sight of the lower 48 and DC from Alaska...enough is enough!

[sylar]

I can safely safe this is the funniest thread I've read on here. lol

[crossoverwriter]

What compulsively greedy airheads. I hope she ends up on the B-grade talk show circuit and nowhere near politics.

[stayinsouth1981]

Instead of standing beside Kathy Griffin on the "D" list, she is going straight to the "Three day old Fish List."

[ignorantwillyharper]

She's appearing on Jerry Springer, next week !

[LemonMeringue]

This is all relevant to her run for any office because she flunks the HONESTY TEST and so does her co-governor who apparently thinks he gets elected when she does.

[bored2tears]

You know, these comparisons to the Beverly Hillbillies have to stop.

First, the Clampetts paid for their own house.

Second, their money didn't affect their fashion sense. Hell, Jethro didn't stop wearing that rope belt for eight years.

Third, and most important, the Clampetts were honest.

If you must compare the Palins to a fictional TV family, how about the grifter family from The Riches?

[sylar]

lol

[Soulsurfer]

Hey, I LIKE the rope belt..............

[stayinsouth1981]

Someone needs to photoshop that rope belt onto one of her campaign outfits.

[stayinsouth1981]

But Todd sorta resembled Jethro..

Which of her kids plays the monkey?

[krabby]

You can take the hicks out of the woods...

[That One]

Sara takes no blame for anything , its all the media'a fault... Please

[LemonMeringue]

Somewhere a has-been named Greta Van Sustern is all a'twitter.

She's probably getting more plastic surgery before she interviews him.

[Stalling]

Isn't that the normative Republican/ego/pathological method?

[DaOne]

Did the hillbillies also buy a Cement Pond?

[LemonMeringue]

Does Levi get to keep his suit? Because he deserves it. And he will need to wear at that wedding - when is the wedding now?

[roshni]

Please, please let the poor self-described redneck escape this cruel fate.

[Truth4Voters]

I have seen her flat denial in an interviewed on Wardrobe-gate. Scary to see how comfortable she is with L*y*i*n*g. That must be how they run their government in Alaska.

[thepianodiva]

Don't forget-the sociopathic personality can look you right in the eye and lie through their teeth.

[RealistDem]

Alaskan republicans are the mother lode of corruption....Stevens....Young....Murkowski....Palin

[LemonMeringue]

Opportunists. Can anyone imagine what they would have done with the carte blanche the president and vice president get? The Palins would make those romps in the Lincoln Bedroom by Clinton guests seem like mere party favors.

Dick Cheney spends most of his time on expensive hunts and fishing trips, dragging the SS and an ambulance around with him everywhere he goes. It's disgusting. The president used to feel he should be seen as a man of the people.

Though it pales by comparison, Edwards' $400 haircut is a perfect example. My husband said he should have walked into some barber shop like one of the people. It would have won him votes. I realize that the Secret Service makes such a thing difficult. But they walk into cafes all the time.

But I thought these were consolation prizes! Door prizes maybe?
