RNC Spends $150,000 on Sarah Palin’s Clothes

Today I was surprised to find out that the Republican National C ommittee has spent at least $150,000 on designer clothes fo r John McCain’s running mate. Spending records filed with the Federal Election Commission and obtained by Politico show the RNC paid for “campaign accessories” from upscale department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, where nearly $50,000 was spent, Neiman Marcus, $75,000, and $4,700 for hair and makeup.The McCain campain responded to the findings by saying: “With all the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that w e’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses.” My reponse to the McCain campaign is this… “If  you are going to identify with our country which is now facing a recession, then you sure aren’t going to entertain anyone by lavishly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on clothes for a VP candidate that probably won’t win.
