Sarah Palin, fashion grifter
By Nadine Kam
Well, I said I wouldn’t be posting for a while, but here I am at Podcamp Hawaii at the Hawai’i Convention Center, with free Wifi, and how could I resist not commenting on Sarah Palin’s new $150,000 wardrobe. I’m sure a lot of fashionistas will now be contemplating a new career in politics. I thought Jon Stewart got it right when he said theirs is a family of professional grifters. Not good.
Last night, I was thinking what I could do with $150,000 and after figuring I could dress myself for a campaign for a mere $5,000, started wondering where does one even begin to spend that much. Say a designer suit off the rack is $5,000, and that’s generous, even for Neiman and Saks, if you pick up 10, that’s only $50,000! Throw in 10 pairs of $500 shoes, $5,000. What the heck did she buy? Well, I guess some money went to the kids.

Palin makes Hawaii politics look good.

You’re assuming Gov. Palin chose where to shop and what to buy. It’s more likely GOP handlers chose both the stores and the outfits. It’s also possible the $150,000 clothed not only the Gov. but also her husband and 4 of her 5 children.

Sarah Palin, such a sad story!! I’m sure you also heard about her name dropping the consignment store she shops at back home to make her seem more real. If not, that Alaska store has the same name of an AIDS charity and they’ve sent a cease and desist to Sarah Palin’s favorite lil store back home.
