I wouldn't bring up Ms. Palin now.  Maybe you need to read the NEW information about how Sarah bought SO may clothes and stuff for herself and family.  I'm sorry to rain on your parade.  Sarah was not the women we were told about. She was a spendthrift and I'm shocked by what's just been reported.

She spent TENS OF THOUSANDS MORE that has been  reported.  She went "nuts" buying stuff for her husband and now they are reporting those clothing items are "lost"

Geesh!!!

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family—clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus. According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost.

An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

McCain himself rarely spoke to Palin during the campaign, and aides kept him in the dark about the details of her spending on clothes because they were sure he would be offended. Palin asked to speak along with McCain at his Arizona concession speech Tuesday night, but campaign strategist Steve Schmidt vetoed the request.

Thanks for providing an example of what I was talking about ... Palin bashing
by Democrats.

Bashing?  Just the facts Jack.  I heard this on my morning news and tracked it down on the Internet.

_{Thanks guys for keeping this thread going :)}

I forgot to mention in my last post that, according to information I received, Palin decided against those clothes and opted to keep getting her clothes from her favorite consignment store (used clothing store) in Alaska.  Did you forget to mention that, too?
