The McCain campaign seems to have come up with an ingenious new trickle-down economic plan for ending the recession. Its stimulus program apparently involves spending hundreds of thousands in campaign funds at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue on Sarah Palin so that she can singlehandedly revive the slumping economy before donating her pricey outfits to charity. Yet the McCain camp seems remarkably circumspect about its latest foray into economic policy and about trumpeting Palin's discriminating taste in clothing.
McCain aide Tracey Schmitt thus complained to Politico, "With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we're spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses." Indeed it is. "It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign." Doggone it, why won't everyone give Palin a break?
At a minimum, the revelation reveals another side of Palin. She doesn't just like to hunt moose. She's a clothes horse as well.
