Palin's elitist shopping spree rocks McCain campaign

[SkylineTime]

How come no one said anything when Obama took the campaign plane on a personal trip to Hawaii for vacation? I am sure that cost a whole lot more than 150K. Double Standard? You- Betcha!

[inachu]

I haven't even spent $500 on clothing in over 10 years. I deserve a new wardrobe.

Hey Palin please give me at least $5,000 so I can do an entire closet upgrade!

[MAUL0r1]

what the hell can you buy at any of those stores for 75k?

[DiddleySquatt]

Unfortunately, you can't buy brains. Clothes, accessories, makeup, yes. But intelligence is ... well, priceless.

[librophile]

She ran as a...hockey-team owner...mom.

By using an anagram and re-arranging the following 18 letters, you get to uncover the true nature of this woman:

Sarah Palin, Maverick (18 Letters) =

MANIACAL VIPER, .... SHARK !!!

[librophile]

There's a rumor circulating out there, that when Sarah Palin bought a dozen pair of shoes during her shopping spree in New York, she asked the shoe salesman to take a black inkmarker & write inside each shoe, either the letter "L" or "R" so that once she gets home, she wouldn't be all discombobulated & would know for sure, which shoe goes on her left and right foot.

Alaskans, she's all yours. Keep her!! We don't need her and sure don't want her.

[jaif4]

I hope she comes back and win the GOP nomination of 2012 and run again.

That will make easy on president Obama, so he can stay busy fixing problems.

[BenAliGtor]

Hey Sarah: the Bible beaters are talkin' 2012 for you. Is this shopping spree on someone else's dime your idea of "fiscal responsibility"?

Or maybe you think that ALL Americans should be like Alaskans: singing the praises of "free enterprise" while sponging off the big oil companies to the tune of thousands per citizen each year in the form of a handout check?

[astepup]

Back off Sarah Palin and her shopping trip. The lady NEEDED those clothes. Do you see what they wear in Alaska???

[lthom33]

I think the Palin family is white trash & something needed to be done to clean them up but I think it was wrong to spend OVER $150,000 on taxpayers dime. That money was donated by Republicans who supported McCain's election.

[ClownFight]

I can't think of any other country's elections that are funnier than this one. This would make a great comedy movie. Selecting Sarah Palin as a running mate was a comedy masterstroke. I'm so glad you guys treat the Presidential election as a joke. Politics has become far too serious in the rest of the world. Other countries are demanding smart and capable people as their nation's leaders. You guys just pick any ol' idiot and have a ball. Great work. I hope that nutty Nader guy wins in the end.

[zgrantu]

Wow she spent that much to look like an asshole? Typical elitist Republican spending.

[peeenisss]

so what? obama's best friend is a terrorist! DUHHHHH I'M A BIG DUMB CONSERVATIVE! durrrrrrr. seriously the clothes thing isn't a big deal. but mccain and palin are big-time elitists and it's laughable that they paint obama as one just because he was smart enough to put himself through harvard. i just want this bullshit to be over. conservatives are way too infuriatingly ignorant. i don't even want to talk about it anymore, there's too much nonsense.

[stoneman1975]

And McCain calls G. Gordon Liddy a good friend. Your move, sir ...

[stoneman1975]

Sorry, I didn't mean to make that a reply instead of a seperate comment.

[peeenisss]

i still don't get it. who are you talking to?

[stoneman1975]

It was meant to be a comment on a different page, but I forgot to switch tabs in the browser. Sorry about that.

[peeenisss]

it's ok. keep fighting the good fight. :)

[jaim12005]

here here! I second that!

[posavea]

I thought of being Sarah Palin for Halloween but it turns out her Presidential Costume is way more than my Gross Income Tax. And of course I can't afford to be as ugly as Michelle Bachmann, so I think I'm going to be "Joe the Plumber" instead. At least I can wear anything since Joe doesn't have a license LoL....Call me Hypocrite on Halloween hahaha

[astepup]

Michelle is not ugly. If you were looking for a hideous costume for halloween, why didn't you just go as yourself?

Psst! Who is your president now!!!! PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!

[MartinGist]

How much of that money went for lipstick? Reminds me of an old barnyard joke. Oh wait, already went there!

[Sheall323]

Sarah Palin is a great person for republican president, because they don't need anyone special to keep shoving ding dongs up the American people's rear end. If America wants to keep bending over for another 4 years, let them enjoy Palin and McCain.

[pigsmellsfu]

Pay it back with your own money bitch.

[efetler]

capreanake and sadieaugust - more proof of how the McCain campaign fosters hate and ignorance. Why do you think Colin Powell and other staunch Republicans are supporting Obama? McCain and Palin are running an ugly campaign, and every insult you have reinforces this statement.

By the way - what do you think the $700 billion bailout and all other stimulus packages are? You got it - Socialism at its best.

[robinstl70]

How much money did Obama receive from Freddie Mac?

[9mil4u]

Sara Palin free loading off GOP isn`t that like welfare????????

[capreanake]

I can't believe this is such a big issue. What about Obama spent on his greek temple when he announced being a presidential candidate? What about issues on Ayers, Wright, Socialism, his senate record, fannie mae freddie mac when is he going to give all that money back to the people, his secret way of soon-to-be Hitler... what's up with that story? Why do you people don't get it?

[xxxxxcrashxxxxx]

The RNC are geniuses. What a way to win a campaign. People are losing their homes, jobs, retirement and these idiots spend 150k on girdles....Go team. It will take a miracle for them to win now....

[str8toff]

i didnt know you need to get Sax 5th to hunt moose...Im in the wrong racket.....

[sadieaugust]

Millions had to be spent on Michelle, it had to take lots and lots of money to makeover that hateful nappy Amazon and it still didn't help. She still looks like a big ugly transvastite. Lately it looks like she has been eating up too much of those campaign contributions. I wonder how much money will have to be spent to Lipo that big ballooning butt of hers. Michelle's big butt has been growing and growing and growing. Start you bets here on how much money it will take to Lipo that big butt.

[9mil4u]

With a name like sadiedisgusted... I`d bet you are one big fat jiggly booty, celulite, one tooth in the middle, oily haired, flat azz, SLOB!!!!!

[sadieaugust]

How much did Obama's campaign and/or the Muslim leaders spend to buy the Electoral votes? The FBI should be investigating those who are casting the Electoral votes for any sudden big purchases or large bank deposits. This could end up being the biggest October surprise ever. There has never in history been so many Electoral votes cast for one party before the day of the election. Its like the election has been won before it has even started. This issue needs some serious investigation.

[clouddancer9875]

@sadieaugust

you're a dumbass, save yourself further embarrassment and don't post anymore comments.

LMAO! I rofl whenever I hear Republicans complain about "voter fraud", werent these the same people that rigged the last 2 elections...though I have to admit I voted for Bush in 2000.

[cadbah]

I also voted for Bush in 2000. But, I can't bring myself to vote for either party anymore.

Nader/Gonzalez08

[clouddancer9875]

I gave Nadar a chance, watched him in a few interviews and wasn't that impressed. I was hoping Ron Paul would run as an independent, I would've voted for him. At the moment I'm leaning more towards Obama.

[DarthandDirtyCheney]

Caribou Barbie needs more mukaluks!

Whatever happened to WalMart Barbie (R)

much cheaper to play dress-up.

[badaustad]

She got her 15 hours of fame.

[clouddancer9875]

LOL...what will Mccain say now about spending? HYPOCRITE! Americans are suffering losing our homes and jobs during this economic crisis, and Republicans decide to blow away $150k on Palin just to look good infront of the camera's? REFORMERS huh? this is not a friggin beauty contest.

I'm an independent, Republicans aren't doing a good job trying to win my vote.

[capreanake]

HYPOCRITE? When will Obama give back the money to the people from the Fannie May Freddie Mac incident? How come does not in the news yet? There are so many idiots who hasn't dare to check Obama's senate record. Go find the truth.

[clouddancer9875]

lol@capreanake

maybe you should look up the meaning of hypocrite my dear fellow..lol..I can't seem to recall at any time Obama attack Mccain on spending, I have however heard Mccain or his camp on numerous occasions attack Obama on "spending" or being too arrogant...I think they should stand infront of a mirror and judge the person they see before they start pointing fingers elsewhere.

[JohnDeBunkTest]

Republicans are asking for their donations back.

[tymjar]

Candidate PalinTheAss is now averaging about $25,000 a week for addition to her wardrobe. Thus her motto: Wardrobe First

Republican donors are PISSED!

[acinodras]

More hypocrisy from Sarah Palin? Shocking.

I don't just want the Republicans defeated in 12 days. I want the entire party left in a crumpled heap on the ground, gasping for breath. I don't want a single Republican running to win anything. They are vile, disgusting human beings who all should be ashamed of themselves.

$150,000 on clothes. Shameful. Obama has been responsible with his money. I gave him $1000. I'd have given more if I could afford it. I trust him.

[coghillp]

I guess she has been hanging around Cindy McCain too long.  Next thing we know she will have 15 igloos!

[dwyerb]

Here is Palin, all about salt of the earth, aw shucks attitude, joe six pack this and that, hard work, honest days work, etc etc. Well I'm from the deep south, I've known people who talk exactly like this, and guess what? they're frugal! they SAVE money, they aren't ostentatious, they spend modestly. Palin really looks like either a complete phony or is just in it for the bling. pretty foolish for her to spend this amount of money in the middle of her campaign.

[9mil4u]

The whore of Babylon. Big Daddy Cains political prostitute.

[NomadicAddict]

It seems like just yesterday Palin was wearing Northface and Columbia and today she's donning Saks and Neiman Marcus.

She's come a long way baby!

[obamawill2008]

ya betcha sarah doesn't wear jacqueline smith!

[ptreyes]

And she would be second in command responsible for a three trillion dollar budget?• $75,062.63 at Neiman Marcus $41,850.72 to Saks Fifth Avenue $7,575.02 to Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis $5,102.71 to Bloomingdales in New York $789.72 to Barneys New York $4,396.94 and $512.92 at Macys • $4,537.85 to Macys • $349.50 to Lord & Taylor • $4,902.08 to Atelier Two separate charges of $98 to Pacifier

• $98.50 to Steinlauf & Stoller• $133 to the Gap

[Post4now]

Palin should have said "NO WAY to the CLOTHE to NOWHERE!" Who does she think she is...its not like she'll be VP. The Campaign says the clothes will be donated....sure they will. A little WHITE lie and spending others TAX dollars are OK.

[Cashmakessense]

hahaha, is Sarah Palin full of shit? "You betcha!!"

Obama aka the community organizer aka "That One" 08!!!

[Wormeatingdragon]

For those of us who have to juggle finances to just come up with a 25 dollar donation to help our candidate this comes as a shock. 25 dollars probably paid for one of Sarahs fake eyelashes. Shouldn't our donations go to helping them show the Country what they are all about? IS THIS what Sarah Palin is all about??? Looking pretty for the cameras? Looking pretty for MCcain?

[egrimnes]

Only a "hockey mom" who doesn't have a job would think a $75,000 clothing shopping spree is reasonable. She spent in one trip a little less than a make in a year... just on clothes. Way to help your party "associate" to the pains of the middle class.

[crispiva1]

I would never guess: she looks so old fashion!
