GOP donors critical of Palin's pricey threads

[rayboyusmc]

Whoever is in charge of this part of the Palindrome Experiment should be publically flogged for stupidity.

I can't post it now, but one of her new duds is a really nice scarf with a
Democratic Donkey on it.

Next interview question: Governor Palin do you know what animal represents the Repuclican Party? Answer: Well you betcha. It's the jackal or the hyena chasing a donkey which is being shot at from a helicopter.

The Republican National Committee’s $150,000 investment in Sarah Palin’s wardrobe has prompted some teeth gnashing among the party’s big donors about its political sensibility and a feisty debate among campaign finance specialists about its legality.

“As a Republican Eagle and a maxed-out contributor to McCain’s general campaign, I’d like my money back – he can still have my vote,” complained one irate donor on Tuesday.

“I’m not one who says a candidate shouldn’t wear fine clothes,” he added. “I’d just like to think they were successful enough in the private sector to have afforded their wardrobe with their own money, not the party’s or the campaign’s, which is really our money as contributors.”

guess they don't like the eliteness of having to pay for her to look spiffy on the stump

I wonder if Palin will claim this as income, which I believe she must, on her tax return?

now that would be a real kicker! 30% of 150k is 45 grand in taxes!

not likely though, not if they donated them after the campaign...?

In the words of Nelson from the Simpsons.... HA HA!

Except they wouldn't be worth as much, being used, so she'd still owe something. I knew a guy that won a car and had to sell it to pay the taxes he owed on his prize.

Of course she could auction them off on ebay, make a profit, and donate it all to charity.

good point, they would be worth only 10 cents on the dollar as a write off if used and donated...

 

[Caligirl]

I bet she'd have good luck auctioning them though.

Laugh in denial all you want. This goes to the heart of the hypocrisy that Sarah is the real hockey mom who just like you and me, you betcha, shops at Wal-Mart in her small patriotic American town. Takes all this money for clothes and never mentions that.

It is more current and just as valid as all the shit posted on Ayers with the little tag line "What don't we know about Obama?"

What else don't we know about that Sarah is spending money on? Abortions, investigation suppression, the Nation?

 

[Caligirl]

150,000 is roughly three median annual incomes.

She spent that on clothes in eight weeks.

I wonder if the flights for her kids around Alaska will be donated to charity too.

Wait.....I thought your issue was the source of her clothing fund, not the amount.

If we're getting into that tell me -- how much did Joe Biden spend on botox and spray tans in the pst month? Care to tally up the entire cost of Michelle Obama's wardrobe? The truth is that $150 in high end, one of a kind designer clothes is not the huge pile of clothes you think it is. This woman's every move is being photographed, and you're surprised that she bought a pricey new wardrobe to look her best?

This is all getting really petty. If Palin had the same 5 outfits from Wal-Mart that she wore over and over the left would trash her for being a broke ass hick with bad taste.

You libs need to relax your butt muscles a little.

i know yur a pagan, but as a fairly religious Christian, as Palin supposedly is as well, i wonder what her church thought of her spending the money of others, in this humongous amount and manner?
