LIR: I'm not perturbed at all by Gov. Palin's wardrobe and makeup costs.

Posted by ReluctantCynic (aka ReluctantCynic) Oct 22 '08, 11:31

But I think a number of Republican commentators and McCain campaign figureheads are complete hypocrites for criticizing Sen. Obama as "un-American" or "elitist" in the face of those expenditures.

Responses:

I don't care what anybody spends on their clothes. But question: Why do all of her suits look exactly alike? -- nm - Diva Oct 22, 11:37 3
- Yeah, she always looks the same! -- nm - con_carne Oct 22, 11:48
- Branding -- nm - rollo Oct 22, 11:45
- This is what *all* the hip hockey moms are wearing this year. Trust us! -- nm - RNC Oct 22, 11:39
It doesn't mesh well with the RNC message. But somehow her supporters will rationalize it away. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 22, 11:36 1
- "We have lots of things in our house that don't belong to us." -- nm - Sen. Ted Stevens Oct 22, 11:38
I really think it's a non issue. But media needs a new story to keep the newscycles going. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:32 14
- I think it's an issue to the extent that it isn't very "small town," which is what Palin's been harping on for weeks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 11:36 12
  - that's a not a bad point. But hasn't she always been a clothes centric person anyway? -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:39 2
    - Not sure either way on that. I'm not saying she should be buying clearance clothes at WalMart, but the money spent seems extravegant. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 11:44 1
      - for a TV and podium ready wardrobe for a schedule that busy, totally disagree. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:46
  - honestly, I think that's just silly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:38 5
    - If Gov. Palin hadn't made that "real America" push part of her campaign rhetoric, this wouldn't even be an issue. - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:42 4
      - I seriously don't see the problem. Real Americans aren't on TV every day either. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:44
      - you don't think people in 'real america' wouldn't love a whole new wardrobe? -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:43 2
        
        (please note, i'm no Palin supporter, but the things she gets criticized for are so besides the point.) -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:44 1
        
        I'm getting frustrated 'cause I'm not explaining myself very well, but bear with me for a second ... - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:49
  - i don't think Sorels and an embroidered moose sweater would look all that appropriate at a VP debate. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 11:38

    - "She went to change Washington, but changed her clothes instead" -- nm - rollo Oct 22, 11:39
- *fingers crossed that "Al-Queda Endorses McCain" is next* -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 22, 11:36
FWIW, I think Hillary has spent a shitload on her multiple makeovers. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:32 17
- Oh hell yes. But I'm not comparing Sen. Clinton to Gov. Palin. - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:38 8

    - No ... what I'm saying is "don't be a hypocrite." - ReluctantCynic Oct 22, 11:45 1

    - Thanks for this visual :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:43
    - why *do* you wear that sombrero? -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:42
  - Clinton has always tried to appeal to the working class. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:40 2
    - she's never claimed to be working class. -- nm - ty97 Oct 22, 11:42 1
      - she actually has. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:45
- And who paid for it? - Spawn Oct 22, 11:34 4
  - Obama. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:40
  - well, for awhile the US taxpayers were paying for her to campaign in NY. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:39 2
    - But not for her clothes. - Spawn Oct 22, 11:40 1
      - And the US Taxpayers aren't paying for Palin either. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 22, 11:45
- she's needed them. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:32 2
  - and that started before she was even a candidate. -- nm - loosilu Oct 22, 11:33 1
    - yeah she needed to fire whoever dressed her as Dr. Evil. -- nm - Remlik Oct 22, 11:34
