    Lovely. Fine example of ethics there.

    Yeah, All you Republican's, keep sending in that money. Palin needs more
    clothes. $ 150,000 worth, so far.

    I didn't contribute so I really have no say about it.


    The GOP is run by all the rich people, they can worry about it.

    I wonder if they dudded her up in the undie department?

    Over $4,000 for hair and makeup! Guess there was a little bit of lipstick involved after all!

    $150,000 is more than her annual salary as Governor. And the stores are hardly the type that a Mrs. Joe SixPack would shop in.

    I did read that the clothes would be donated to charity after the election. Otherwise they would be illegal.

    That's never stopped her before. Or was that JUST a problem
    of ethics?

    Sure they did, I remember media stories grousing about that ...

    People will complain about anything, given the chance.

    I know, I was being obstinant.

    I think that the clothes, if they are auctioned off for charity, would be a good
    thing. IT's funny how that part of the story was kinda left out of the reports.

    Karen's right, Richard. They did complain, long and loud about that. And remember Clinton's haircut - or maybe you're too young for that

  11. And don't forget Edward's haircuts that raised such a fuss!

    I complained about the way NP rolls too!

    Let me put it to you this way, I am old enough to remember the 800 dollar toilet seats and hammers. Who is this Clinton you mentioned?

    LOL, he held up traffic on the LAX runway for pete's sake! That was brash!

    --------------

    I had to laugh about a clip I saw from that hen-fest, The View.


    Who is the big mouth that sits to left of center? Joy?

    She makes me giggle, she is so absent of thought!

    She said something like "SP is dressing with taxpayer money!"

    LOL, the RNC got her the clothes and I thought that most of the cash comes from donations? If I have enough cash around to donate it, it's not mine anymore.

    This is probably the same bimbo that watches those red carpet actresses dress up in thousands of dollars worth of clothes and jewelry and wets her self over how beautiful they are.

    In the end it don't make a whit of difference who or what SP wears, She's already the unqualified animal killer and ethics ignoring woman candidate...so why is everyone getting all tweaked out about it?

    People jumped all over me about commenting about BO's flag pin, now everyone has the sandpaper thong going about SP's clothes?

    Someone made the comment that I was being juvenile by making light of a pin.

    I admit it. I guess it doesn't count when women howl about other women's clothing?

    LOL

    The same reason ES, Liz et all "get away" with their 'passive agressive' stuff.

    Can you deny that the "view" is NOT a "hen fest"? It ain't sterotyping if it is truth. Why is the truth so "taboo" these days? Why is everybody so easily offended?

    The clip was on a newscast leading up to the story about why the media is so harsh about SP and the way she rolls.


    Again, I do invite you to ignore my posts......It's easy and I go away at the click of a button! I really don't add anything to any conversation, altho it is much better than picking the threads off my clothes while I sit in the corner and drool.

    Thanks!
