$2000 for shoes that cost $89 new.

But conservatives say that Obama's supporters are obsessed?

Ugly shoes! Bad taste Palin.

With the economy so screwed up who in their right mind would pay $2,000.00 for a pair of shoes?

[Retrofuturistic]

These shoes, and her manicured toes, are as much a symbol of her lack of "class" and erudition as her Bible thumping.

They will be on the feet of "pivot man" at the next secret meeting of the republican movers and shakers.

...There is no place like Nome, there is no place no Nome...

This is the first time that I have seen a close up pic of those shoes and they look kind of tacky.

I notice there were no fewer than five spelling mistakes in the short ad. I hope this money is going to a good cause - English lessons for her niece.

Sean Hannity got one and Dick Morris got the other. They can trade every so often.

That's a higher price than Obama coins...

[SteamRanger]

Just plain nasty! Some things simply don't make good collector's items. Burn 'em!

[NWBrunette]

How are they going to get the stench out of them? The mere thought of wearing something that had been in contact with Sarah gives me the heebeejees.

They look like ruby slippers. After her defeat did she click her heels lamenting, "There's no place like home - There's no place like home" ?

[SailFree]

Gee, Toto, this doesn't look like Alaska! Too many crazy leftists around...

[neuron]

Well, somebody ended up with a two thousand dollar box of stinkfoot.

thank you huffpo for another exquisite pic of sarah's perfect footwear. her wardrobe of red shoes has always inspired comment.
had Eugene Onegin been acquainted with sarah, she may have been looking at alaska- not russia- from the back of a troika sleigh.
pushkin in I. 31 of Eugene Onegin:
"Where are you, feet, where in creation?
What flowers of springtime do you tread?
Conceived and bred in far off places-
The blissful east- you left no traces
Upon our bitter northern snows...........
Youth's joys have fled without a trace
As from the fields your step's light grace..."
