Alaska funded Palin kids' travel

[sparks19]

yes... how DARE real people have nice clothes. How DARE she be a real hockey mom and be well off. REAL people don't have money... and if you are "rich" you must not deserve it.



Like they would let her out to campaign in her camo gear or sweat pants. Then we would be complaining that she doesn't care enough to look presentable.

Oh for Heaven's sake, anyone can look presentable without spending that much money. I do it all the time - and I don't shop at Neiman-Marcus. Lands' End and LLBean are 2 of my favorite places. And I don't wear camo gear or sweat pants - at least not when I'm out in public. The pictures of her when she was only being Governor show she dressed quite nicely - and I'll bet those clothes didn't cost more than a year's salary.

So she is wearing designer labels right now. Big deal.

I just don't get all the uproar about it.

If someone was shoving money at me and saying "Go nuts... buy the best clothes you can find" you bet your sweet patooty that I would take them up on it lol.

But she didn't have the time to go shopping herself. She had a Personal Shopper - a man named Jeff Larson. The very same man behind the robocalls made in South Carolina in 2000; the calls implying that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black baby. Politics does make strange bed fellows . . . . . .

Does any celebrity shop for themselves? They have personal shoppers, personal chefs, personal assistants (which are apparently different from personal shoppers and personal chefs) and for some reason people think celebrities are fantastic.

If I could afford to have someone shop for me I would. I hate clothes shopping (mostly because I can't find anything that fits or that I like lol... but that's a different can of worms )

Oh dear - now you're saying she is a celebrity? Isn't that an accusation used against Obama by McCain - in a very sarcastic way - awhile back. Comparing him to Paris Hilton. Now it seems he has his own celebrity

I wonder if Cindy McCain is taking advantage of the clothing deal?

She doesn't need to. She has her own money, lots of it, that she can spend anyway she wishes. She does lots of good charitable work, all the while wearing simple slacks and tops; so if she wants to dress up - let her. As I said, it is her money.

The RNC paid for the Governor's clothes, and contributors are a bit uneasy about it.

You missed the end - I said I was being sarcastic!

Uh.. yeah. She is a celebrity. the definition of a celebrity is a famous or well known person. Sarah Palin, John McCain, Barack Obama, Joe Biden... are famous and well known... They are CELEBRITIES. Whether they like it or not they ARE celebrities.

Now... that's not to say that ALL celebrities are like Paris Hilton (although she seems to have grown up as of late but there is no telling with her). Some celebrities are good, down to earth people... some are spoiled, high and mighty pompous boneheads.

ETA: I wonder if it would be better to donate and just sell the clothes in the store... or for them to sell them like they did the scarf and pin and collect the money and put it towards the shelter and the meals on wheels. I think selling the clothes and putting the money towards other things would do more than just selling the articles of clothing in the store. Imagine the money that they could raise.

Oh Pleeeze She is a state.Governor. I'm sure she has plenty of business
and formal clothes to wear in public. I'm sure Palin happily accepted the gifts,
just like you said you would. Doesn't it sound like the Republicans thought she
didn't look good enough in her own things?

IMO, they clothed her to distract folks from listening to whatever came
out of her mouth. (my bad)

Well apparently it worked because it seems to be causing a lot of uproar lol. so who is the fool? the people who try to distract using shiny things or the people who ARE distracted by the shiny things?

Good one!!!

When I was working and had to dress the part every day, I bought most of my clothes at J C Penney. For instance, I could get a nice, professional looking suit for under $100, etc. Not a thing wrong with looking good at a reasonable price!
