Neiman Marcus and Sarah Palin Set Deal For Clothing Line After Election

In an arrangement not to be announced until November 4th, the upscale specialty despartment store, Neiman-Marcus and Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Sarah Palin have agreed in principal to open a chain of outlet stores offering discounted Palinwear™ while creating a line of higher-priced Palinwear™ for their upscale stores.

"The clothes that were purchased by the Republican National Committee for Governor Palin will need a home after the election," said Neiman Marcus spokeswoman, Ann Taylor. "We're not talking knockoffs here. We'll be selling those in the foreign markets overseas where Sarah's stylings have gathered a huge, though unAmerican, following."

In addition, a side deal was made with READ THE REST OF THE SHOCKING BUSINESS COLLABORATION HERE.

NOTE: IS THE LINK IS DOWN, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT IN A FEW. DAMN HI-TECHING SELF-PROMOTION.

"Ann Taylor" (???) doesn't make any sense.

1. Why do the RNC purchases for Failin' from N-M "need a home"??? WTF?
2. What do these "homeless" clothes have to do with a line of clothes have to do with selling clothes overseas?
3. Since when does N-M sell overseas other than perhaps through the internet? I live overseas now and have NEVER seen active marketing or advertising from N-M. What, are they going to create a whole new international marketing division for Failin'? Have they done any marketing studies on this?

This HAS to be a joke. Or maybe it isn't. Failin' herself must have written Ann Taylor's comments because they are as incoherent as Failin' is.

The quote about Palin's "stylings" having a "huge, though unAmerican, following" in foreign markets, is an outrageous manipulation of the truth. I live in Munich, and know several major European cities well and in not one of those sophisticated hubs is there panting over Palin's fashion sense--only outrage and disdain over the beauty pageant mindlessness and hate-mongering of her campaign. If Neiman-Marcus wants to recycle her duds they'd better post them off to Saudi or Dubai, where expensive clothes are all the rage, but hidden under veils--like Palin's agenda.
