Dressing Palin in designer

First it was the 150K worth designer clothes to make Sarah Palin look good, this was bearable to hear, but now to hear “Palin sorts clothes to see what belongs to the RNC” is plain ludicrous. I can’t believe this is actually happening! This is media bullying at its best.

What exactly is so wrong with using money to make a candidate look appropriate for her job by the people who want her to do that job? What exactly is 150K with respect to 1B used to reach the hearts and minds of voters? Not much! To ask back for clothes is probably the meanest, rudest and most inappropriate action taken by the Republican campaign if anything. It is at this time the campaign should have defended Palin with everything they had. Where are her supporters now?

I may not agree that Palin is the best choice as a leader of America, I may also mock the fact she is not worldly and doesn’t have basic US historical and political knowledge, putting aside world geography. But there is no way I can agree that taking back clothes bought for her is the right thing to do. If the campaign can buy jet-fuel, pay for hotel rooms, and laundry bills why are the clothes on a candidates back off limits? They shouldn’t be! Clothes make a person, no matter which way you argue it, and if that’s what’s required to express who you really are as a leader and as a candidate, donors should be happy to shell out the cash for just that purpose. No; really!
