And John Edwards got roasted for a $400 haircut, holy crap.

Palin spends $150,000 dollars of GOP money on clothes.

I am interested in how Fox News (fair and balanced?) is going to handle this since they have spent the last two years making John Edward's $400.00 haircut an issue. Fair and balanced? Yeah right.

Liberal Media? Duh. Fox News? Duh.

It's sad that I have to rely on the BBC to find out what's really going on in America.

FYI- Edited because I stated "last six years". Changed to "two".

Here is my spin prediction:

Obama, Biden, Hillary, Kerry... all Senators who already had expensive and appropriate wardrobes at tax payer expense.   Palin, as governor of Alaska, had a more down to Earth attire and does not have the money necessary to where fancy clothes every day on the campaign trail.  The GOP is happy to help her dress like a Vice President and the clothing provided will be utilized in her new role as well as she represents the United States.

If, for unforeseen reason, Sarah Palin is not the next Vice President the clothing will be donated/auctioned off for charity.

Other quips:
John Kerry spends more on haircuts in a normal decade than Palin spends on clothes while running for the VP.

Al Gores plane cost more than that anyway.

If she was a man [insert something here]

/that's my guess.  Decent spin as it is true, if not still obnoxious

Obviously they have to dress her up and make her look nice in front of all those people.

I can't believe no one else has said this yet, but they've got to put lipstick on that pig, you know!!

Come on now, lay-off the Palin!

Should any self-respecting VP candidate be seen in last season's fashions or wearing something from *gasp* Penny's???

The horror of it all!!!!

You mean when I wear the J.C. Penney Fox polo it means I'm not cool?

I always thought Garanimals weren't cool only cause they stopped at size 7.

FYI, Underoos are cool in any size.  

Except for the Wonder Woman version.

$50,000 would have been more than enough to buy 14 high quality american-made bespoke suits.

$5,000 would have been enough to buy 14 high quality made in hong kong bespoke suits.

Yeah, but that's only two weeks worth of clothes.  You don't think she should be caught dead wearing the same thing twice on the campaign trail, do you?  My gosh what a faux pas!

She's got a big family to clothe too, they shouldn't have to get scraps or wear Kmart, right?

We men have it so much easier. We can look like we're wearing the same thing every day and nobody cares, as long as we change our tie.

Spill some soup or chili on your tie and it'll look like you changed it as well.

I presumed most of the readers of this gentle forum are already in the habit of changing their underwear. [:D]
