Jack & Jill Politics

They’re spending it on Sarah Palin.  To the tune of $150,000. LOL, but she doesn’t look any better in more expensive clothes than she did before McCain picked her, because you can’t put a $5000 outfit on someone and hope it will make them look more classy.

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.

The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August. (emphasis mine)

I used to say when I saw Don King in $10,000 suits that he was the only person I knew who could make a $10K Hugo Boss suit look so cheap that it looked like it came OFF THE RACK.

Now considering that John McCain is continuing to pull out of states in which he should be contending, the RNC’s spending that kind of cheddar on his VP’s wardrobe is penny-wise and pound-foolish, but hey, anything that helps take this ol’ crochety bastard out of the running, I’m all for it.

Meanwhile, Palin’s living large off other people’s money.  She’s gotten the state of Alaska to foot the bill for her kids’ travel, and the AP is blowing up this story.  Isn’t that what “the elite” do?

UPDATE: She also has a makeup artist costing $13,000 a month.  WTF?

I’m sorry – maybe she doesn’t know what is an “elitist”.  She doesn’t know what the Vice-President does, either, but, hey, she wants more power in which to do something she doesn’t have any knowledge of.

To me, Palin has more shyt in her closet that, at this point, could basically pave over the Grand Canyon and turn it into a stretch of Route 66. She has her own version of “Travel Gate”, followed by “Trooper Gate”, which led to a finding by a Republican-lead State investigation that Palin has abused her power as Alaska’s governor through “TrooperGate” of course.  I’m willing to bet if there’s more digging, they’re going to find the First Dude, Todd Palin’s name on the Governor’s payroll, and maybe Bristol and Track, too.

First, she’s unqualified for the job as VP. She doesn’t even know what a VP does.  She must have cut class the day the Civics Class read the Constitution.

Second, she’s power hungry. Way to go to grab power for a job you know nothing about.

Third, she pimps her elected office for personal gain. And hoped like everything else the MSM has ignored, that they would ignore this, too.  Looks like she’ll get her wish here as well.

And the icing on the cake is the fact that she’s blowing a godly chunk of the RNC’s bankroll in their attempt to not only put lipstick on the pitbull, but to outfit the pit bull in Versace and Chanel, complete with Jimmy Choo “Eff-Me” pumps.

WHAT? They don’t have Needless-Markup (nickname for Neiman’s) in Anchorage or Juneau?  And hasn’t she heard of “Last Call” in that store?  What the hell was she wearing before McCain plucked her out of obscurity?  JCPenney’s not good enough for her ass?  Give me $5000 and a list of the knock-off stores all over 7th Avenue in Manhattan and I would come up with 20 outfits that make me look like Jackie Kennedy, with that remaining $145,000 going into a bank or on a piece of real estate.  People who know me, know this to be true – I know Haute Couture and from the way Palin’s looking, someone in Saks must be a Democrat, cause they’re gaming homegirl and making her look like she shops at Wal-Mart.

Shame, too.  Wally World used to have some fly outfits before they started outsourcing.  Oh, well…

This is another reason why, should John McCain lose this election, he will be able to blame Sarah Palin, which, in a sense, is unfair to Palin, because MC CAIN PICKED HER.

But, like everything else, McCain won’t take responsibility for this Eff-Up, either.
