Okay, I can *almost* understand the rationalization for providing Sarah Palin with a campaign wardrobe. ALMOST because while she and her husband are millionaires and have plenty of money to buy their own clothing, this before-and-after collage certainly shows that money does not buy taste.
But I’m just dying to hear how a $3000 Louis Vuitton handbag for her six-year-old daughter is spun by her handlers as another sign of what a down-to-earth, “Joe Sixpack” family they are. And…I also want the name, address and telephone number of the charity said bag gets donated to at the end of the campaign so that someone can verify that it did in fact get handed down to someone who really “needed” a $3000 purse.
And while we’re on the subject…today the New York Times reported that the highest-paid person inside the McCain-Palin campaign is not one of McCain’s closest and most-trusted political advisers, it’s Sarah Palin’s makeup artist.
Talk about “change you can believe in”!
I’m thinking that the McCain campaign leaders could have saved money by hiring Tina Fey’s makeup and hair artists.
