She's a celebrity. She can't be wearing TJ Max shoes and Target Suits. Even Joe the Plumber can understand that can't he?

Re: $150G From GOP For Fashions For Palins?
150K is alot but I am sure the Dems are spending a lot on useless things as well. Also being a women running for office, makes you a target and people jump on things really quickly. Therefore spending on clothes should be higher for women seeking office.

Re: $150G From GOP For Fashions For Palins?
Glade you brought this up.
Senator Hillary Clinton is the biggest porker of the three. 281 earmarks worth $296 million. Senator Obama is next. 53 earmarks worth $97 million. Senator John McCain has never requested an earmark.” |

Also I never said Dems would be spending as much on clothing, but on other pointless things as well.

Re: $150G From GOP For Fashions For Palins?
What's the big deal? Both sides do it, the article said as much. It didn't have a bill total for Hillary but mentioned that she would get $2500 haircuts. These people are loaded....Hillary, Bush, Gore, John Kerry, McCain. Does anyone honestly think these politicians live like you and I? Come on.
Not saying it might not be the best thing to be doing but hey both sides do it. |

Re: $150G From GOP For Fashions For Palins?
Yupp like I said, if we want to get on Obama, I think he has made a LOT of money just selling books. he has been making millions every year, mostly from book sales.

 However it's pretty convenient Politico couldn't find any numbers on what's been spent on the dems side. I'm sure Hillary, Kerry and Edwards were running up the same or more excessive bills.

Or maybe you could look at fact check to read about his 3 million for an overhead projector. FactCheck.org: Did Obama request a $3 million 'overhead projector,' as McCain claimed? Or how about this site were they show that for every working day (Monday-Friday) Obama has been in ofice has asked for an average of a million dollars on pork spending.
