Via Hot Air headlines comes this report stating that the RNC will soon disclose how much it spent on Palin’s clothes and accessories, and that it’s far less than the amount–$150k–reported. Of course, whatever it amounts to, it’s also far less than what Obama paid for his Dork Temple.
That’s not interesting, but the comments reveal what kind of people make this their business to know:
Uh. . . at least some of the clothes she wore are still in her own possession, she wore them at the RGA, for her greta “interview” and on the stump for draft dodger saxby. Maybe that’s becasue “the campaign” is still going on, and will be until 2012.

They could have bought a house for as much money as they spent to clothe Sarah Palin for 4 weeks. This is excessive by any standards.
Cathyintexas | 12.03.08 07:20 PM
But but but… all the clothes have NOT been returned as Princess Sarah was wearing one of the outfits in question this week while campaigning for Saxby. And that was did not have anything to do with the RNC or the McCain campaign.
Clearly, Sarah is lying again and hasn’t returned the clothes that are to be “dispersed” to charity.

Funny that I have only read one article on the ‘money’ spent by liberal democrats on clothes for candidates, and female candidates spent on themselves. There were several of them and they haven’t turned in the clothes or reinbursed the campaign funds. The more the retarded liberals bitch the more truth comes out on their slimey ways. I remember a ‘personal’ trip to Hawaii on the campaign plane by the ‘chosen one’. How much did that cost the idiots supporting him? They’ll have a hard time gathering up the massive amount of jet fuel he consumed. But he did accomplish something, he visited his white grandma and she died a few days later. ‘Connection’, since she knew the truth about his birth?, And he couldn’t be bothered to attend her funeral.
Scrapiron | 12.03.08 11:32 PM
Can we safely assume that the RNC purchased $100,000 worth of white shirts and green ties for John McCain’s use during the campaign, and plans to donate those to the Salvation Army also?

Diana | 12.04.08 01:48 AM
I can’t believe that anyone would begrudge spendin’ $330,000 on clothes and accessories on Sarah IMELDA Palin. Was she supposed to look like a bag lady, for Pete’s sake?
There was another $20,000 at least on clothes for Todd, including that absolute necessity of any campaign, pairs of silk undershorts.
Sarah will be givin’ them back, at the same time Senator Ted Stevens gives back that massage chair he was “loaned” in 2001.
Except for her undies. The thrifty governor will be sellin’ them on eBay!
Alaskan | 12.04.08 02:40 AM
Scrapiron,
You’re mistaken about a few things in your comments – first of all, the private family only funeral for President-Elect Obama’s grandmother Madelyn Dunham, hasn’t been held yet. The event you are referencing was a memorial service held by Mrs. Dunham’s former co-workers and friends. Which none of Mrs. Dunham’s family attended.
Secondly, as for President-Elect Obama’s use of the campaign plane to visit his then dying grandmother – the costs related to that trip were paid for by private donors. No campaign funds were used.
Thirdly, an in-depth look at the financial records for the various campaigns has not revealed any other instance EXCEPT for the McCain campaign where ANY campaign funds were used to clothe a candidate OR their family. Everyone else it would appear, used THEIR OWN money to purchase clothes, accessories, shoes, etc. The ONLY candidate and their family which had clothes bought for them using campaign funds was SARAH PALIN AND HER FAMILY!
But hey, why let the facts and the truth get in the way of your deluded rantings.
BrendaKay | 12.04.08 03:21 AM
They didn’t mention it was to the “Sarah Palin Charity.”

Nancy Pelosi is an extremely wealthy woman who has a lot of her own money (and that of her rich husband) to spend as she wishes. She is NOT ripping off campaign donors for her designer duds, and other expenses, she pays for them herself. Last I knew, rightwingers want the wealthy left alone to spend their money as they deem appropriate. But maybe that doesn’t extend to non Repubs, eh Robert??! You apparently resent the fact that Pelosi is rich. Get over it.

Miss Piggy is just another right-wing Republican sleazebag exploiting the American people for personal gain and self-gratification.
Miss Piggy lost the election for John McCain because American voters saw that she is a weak-minded, fundamentalist wacko.
Miss Piggy never earned as much in her life as she was able to pocket in clothes, accessories and goodies from the RNC; she behaved like a pig at the trough.
You can put $30k in accessories, $150k in clothes, a fake tan, and lipstick on Miss Piggy, but she is still Miss Piggy.
Miss Piggy should divorce her fleabag husband and marry Joe the Fake Plumber.

Based on the amount of (non-truthful) vituperation from this bunch of oh-so-concerned, caring and compassionate lefturds, it’s easy to tell that Sarah really scared the piss out of them.
And Gilgamesh (BTW, how was the boat ride?), blow it out your ass, bitch. The sad simple fact remains that Joe the Plumber showed up your boy Obambi for the lying sack of shit that he is, and was pilloried by The One’s Commiecrat operatives for his trouble.

I. Don’t. Care. I don’t care how much she spent on her clothes. If someone in the RNC OKed it, then it’s fine with me. Why should liberals be concerned with what is done with Republican donation funds? If a donor was pissed, then we’d have a legitimate gripe. But, the noise is coming from people who didn’t give.
Honestly, I’d be more pissed about those Greek Columns if I were a dem (donor)- but you guys didn’t seem to care about that, did you?

Please explain to me how the RNC is supposed to deal with this level of bat-shit crazy without going all howler monkey themselves? How do you keep up with something like that?

Mr. Ass (if I can call you that?), we are certainly aware you can find idiots just about everywhere. In BOTH parties. The issue I have is when you look toward national polls indicating this or that regarding policy. When I hear that X% believe the country is going in the wrong direction, or people point out Bush’s unpopularity numbers, I say (to you, Mr. Ass) I simply don’t care, because people are largely uninformed.
Obama’s “mandate”? Idiotic. Because he was largely elected by uninformed voters.

The thing that worries me about all these lies and vitriol about Sarah Palin needing to buy Washington DC-suitable clothes for the campaign–because she didn’t HAVE any, because she wasn’t rich and hasn’t been in the Senate since before most of the Hope-n-Change voters were even BORN–is the potential for the RNC use it to justify never ever ever again nominating a non-rich, non-lawyer, non-career politician.

“assclown” obviously represents not only a troll’s self love but also its developmental stage.
It’s amazing that this is about the only thing they can get right.

Again, I have to wonder what it is about the trolls that they cannot be happy since their guy won. All they have known is their hate, and they cannot let go of it.
At this rate, we’ll have them in Jonestown, Guyana[sp], by Spring.

If they expect a big fit out of me, they will have a long wait. I was kind of upset at first, but I got over it. I hope that when Obama becomes my president on January 20th, that he proves me wrong in my predictions for his behavior. Given his choices so far for his cabinet, I think it’s going to be the lefties who are going to scream the loudest.

Don’t give too much credence to Obama’s Cabinet selections–contrast them to his campaign rhetotic and known proclivities. I suspect that after he’s inaugurated, his socialist bent will out. He doesn’t have to care about his cabinet, he has Pelosi, Reid, et.al., to implement his agenda. Everything else is cover.
Comment by ian cormac on 12/4 @ 2:03 pm #
Yes, Heather, that is a justifiable concern because as Gerald VandeLeun has put it;
“Republicans,they thirst for death” the fact that Ron Paul! and Huckabee! got any traction
was a distressing thing. Huckabee hanging around like Banquo’s ghost, on Fox, really acting like a diva, makes me long for the days of Jim Guy Tucker. But I’m confident
as another poster put it on a different post; “there’s a new sheriff in town,riding
on a snowmobile, get over it” For those who didn’t get the point, that Sarah was making about a hockey mom’s tenacity,which she has proven over these last four monthes! When she stuck to what she believed she drew massive crowds with a consistent message. She faltered only when she bore the handicap of supporting McCain’s watered down platform planks on the bailout, cap and trade, Even then she dragged at least across the forty yard line. Despite the attempted tackles by Couric, Gibson & Fey among many others.
One does it admit there is more than a touch of the Capraesque nature of the situation that must have struck more than likely when
she was down in Miami, three weeks ago. “All this fuss, about little old me, it’s a little odd, both the raging hatred and the adulation. Must feel like Wassila High, class of ‘81 all over again”.

Then we are safe if Mr. Obama intends to use Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid to implement his agenda since those two can’t control their own caucuses, let alone follow directions simpler than “inhale. exhale. repeat.”

On the flight-suit issue, it is a requirement for US Coast Guard Auxiliary Air that when a member takes his private facility up on a Coast Guard air patrol he and his crew wear flight suits, preferably Nomex. It would surprise me if anyone, including the POTUS wasn’t also required to wear one if he sits in the co-pilot’s seat of a military aircraft. So – damned if following regulations, damned if he waived regulations and didn’t.
Bank the rage before it consumes your lives.

Hey Parsnip. I just spent $700,000 on a house that was at auction for $300,000. But I got the house. So the money must have been “well spent.”
#51 “… I spent the whole fall amusing myself by playing the liberal concern troll to ascertain just how clueless the Obots surrounding me were. Well-paid, well-educated and lobotomized was the persistent theme.”
Likewise, Abe. I did the same in Hollywood, where admitting conservatism has equal perils. Of the many educated, affluent Obamatrons in the film industry I parried with, not one — NOT ONE — knew anything about Obama’s background or associations or showed the slightest curiosity to learn. He was spiritually endowed to lead, on this point they were sure, and nothing else mattered.

That requirement spans more than one service. I’ve had to go up in US Army helicopters a couple of times, from different airfields, and it was Nomex suit or you didn’t get in. Some places even made you buy your own.

The plane was an S-3 Viking, designed for attack and anti-submarine duties, though usually used as a tanker now.
From Wiki:
On 1 May 2003, US President George W. Bush rode in the co-pilot seat of a Viking that landed on USS Abraham Lincoln, where he delivered his “Mission Accomplished” speech announcing the end of major combat in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This was the only Navy flight to date to use the callsign “Navy One”.
The aircraft that President Bush rode in was retired shortly after and on July 15th 2003 was accepted as an exhibit at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida.
The aircraft belonged to the USS Lincoln, the pilot got in flight hours, and he and the Navy received a signal honor. Sounds like a sweet deal to me. I wouldn’t begrudge Pres. Obama doing that if he got the opportunity – there seems to be very little fun involved in the job of POTUS.
Comment by Sdferr on 12/4 @ 4:35 pm #
I don’t know about whether the act of flying on to the deck of the Lincoln was presidential or no, or even whether such a thing matters at all times and all places for any man holding the office (how “presidential” were Clinton’s various behavioral quirks?), but it certainly was one of many human acts to cement a lasting bond with the men and women of the armed forces, as far as I can see.
Comment by Mikey NTH on 12/4 @ 4:38 pm #
#147 Sdferr:
IIRC, the crew of the Lincoln appreciated it.
What an honor for the pilot.
What an honor for the deckcrew.
What an honor for the landing signals officer.
Now they have a story they can tell:
We brought the President in for his first tailhook!

It’s disappointing sure but it’s more the opportunity cost that’s sad than being upset by some marxist gaywad thousands of miles away what if you don’t watch MSNBC you hardly know he’s there.

Parsnip is such a dipshit that he/she argues that the Hologram won a landslidy mandate AND a $5,000 TV spot could have changed the election while simultaneously failing to understand that the “he stole the election” meme refers to the libweasels’ post 2000 whining.

Not one of them voted for Bush, you know. Not a single one.

I have just one question (and please pardon me for getting back to the original post…)
When you folks write checks to campaigns (pubs or dems), do you fill in the little memo field at the bottom with “Ads only” or “Food only” or “Gas for the bus only” ?? Or does the act of giving the money automatically imply that the campaign can use it
in whatever way it deems fit?
I know that when I donate, I trust that they will use it where it’s needed. (unlike govt and taxes)
and that damn-gee-willickers, as a female businesswomen, I understand that (since the age of television anyway), the right look is needed for job interviews. Any doofus should know that.
And isn’t that what they are doing? A long, loooonnnnnnng drawnout job interview??

Oh, stop being sensible, DCLex. Anyone of another party who spends money on such things as appearance is a terrible, terrible person, and ought to be buried alive in melting “perma”frost.
Comment by DCLex on 12/4 @ 8:02 pm #
Yes, of course you’re right. My bad….
Shame about that Naomi WhatsHerFace (wolf?) that was called in to give ole Al FatfaceBeadyEye Gore his
nice new shiny look. I guess that was a freebie.

Now that you mention it, DCLex, the only person I gave money to this campaign was Fred Thompson, and he quit a week later, said he was giving the money to McCain which kind of pissed me off. A lot. Now though, I can just figure that my money went into Palin’s wardrobe, hopefully some of the naughty bits, and feel good about my contribution again.
Thank you.

For the record, I quite enjoy the game Risk. I would play it with happy if he brung it.
Comment by happyfeet on 12/4 @ 8:23 pm #
Thanks Big D! I think Mr. Clown thinks he’s at some sort of risk of being taken for serious, which is ironical on a thread called Palin’s Costly Wardrobe, Revisited I think. Happy Birthday Carin!! Isn’t Mr. Goldstein’s birthday sort of ensconced in the holiday season too? I seem to remember that but I could be amiss. Hah! I gave to Fred the day before he quit. I also bought some GM this year at $28. Also I gave just a token amount to Feckless after the NYT did that gay-assed mistress smear job on him. I need to go hear my happy song now. This year was kind of for stupid except for the good parts.

oh. What you never want to be is between me and Kamchatka. I’m obsessed.
Comment by DCLex on 12/4 @ 8:29 pm #
Ditto here, Makewi. It’s been years since I’ve played Risk, but HF would take it to a whole new level…
Of course I might not know if I’d won until til several days had passed, but it would be an adventure. Course that would
be true with Monopoly, Clue, etc. But not Scrabble, cause the HF knows spelling and grammar. (in the HF tradition of course)
Homework is required to figure out the last 2 HF posts. I am on it.

First thing hf always does is try to take Ukraine away from you. Especially if you’re Thor.
Comment by DCLex on 12/4 @ 8:40 pm #
Well, we can all send a prayer of thanks to the Almighty that we’re not thor. I’m sure He will
be positively deafened by the chorus.
*scratches head* tell me why ukraine is important????

I am the suck at Scrabble. I hoard and hoard waiting for the Big Play and end up getting my ass kicked by house and trees and oil. It’s very humbling.
Comment by DCLex on 12/4 @ 8:50 pm #
Soooo hf, wanna play some Scrabble? For a few measly $$$???
trees and oil? *scratching head…*
Comment by happyfeet on 12/4 @ 8:55 pm #
trees and oil are the kind of words you can beat me at scrabble with while I wait for the one letter I need to lay down larynxes on one of the red square thingies

Why are you bitching about the Libertarian Party to us? I mean, some of us have probably voted Libertarian, but…well, it’s not as if Jeff’s blog has Rand’s visage on the masthead. Or is there some Objectivist Party still in existence, that has any effect whatsoever on US politics?

Doesn’t everybody remember “Hunt for Red October” Jack Ryan wore the the same getup
with harness when he went on to the Carrier
in the Northern Atlantic, as to when he got
to the U.S.S. Dallas. The President came on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, to congratulate them for the 40 day effort, that led to the fall of Baghdad. He was and continues to be honored by
the majority of the serving and retired troops, for his efforts in protecting this country, To spin it any other way is vile and disgraceful.
Similarly the heartland and the military
appreciate Sarah for her support of the
military, and intelligence operations, first
seen in the Charlie Rose interview, buried on Youtube, and her trip to an Alaskan NG base in Kuwait, in addition to her son’s service in Iraq. She has consistently lived her values, whether in business, through her family, and her campaign for efficiency in government and
crusade against corruption. She never cared about such minor issues as high end clothing through out her career. However, if you’re going to go to a national political convention, then meet with a passel of world leaders, you ought to have an appropriate wardrobe. So it looks like she wore the same outfit on the Chambliss rallies that she did at theMinneapolis
Convention, with the boots,DC Lex, seemingly so long ago. Seriously, what are they going to do, give it to Goodwill, Salvation Army, Hell no, thats the uniform she’ll use for major events in the next few years, when all the ungrateful backstabbers who dissed her up till a week ago ago, now that her value was proven with Chambliss,will then ask for her support and she will give it, because that’s the kind of person she is. Seriously this kind of retromingent gossip disguised as journalism, gives navel gazing a bad name.

Happy Birthday Carin!
I’d offer you cake but I know you don’t trust this “moron’s” cooking. ;-)
It’s Winter in Michigan. Lots of Global Warming is falling. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too.

“We aren’t gonna let go the anger ’til the Bushman and his Band of Merry Men are serving time in max security…..so you got that going for you”
Well guess this means these poor dears will be angry until the day they die, I pity them. The incoming president is not going to allow his perfect image to be soiled with a bunch of nasty impreachment trials shown on TV 24-7; he wants to show America that he heals souls and nasty impeachment trials disrupt that plan.
Ironic no? The One dream proggs wanted most in the whole wide world, impeachment, will be crushed by The ONE.
Bush-haters, pawned by THE ONE. I am happy.

Thanks for the b-day wishes (I saw some in another thread to.)
Speaking of Rand, I’m halfway through “Atlas Shrugged” – but I’m not going to start yammering. I swear.

It goes a lot faster after you get to the speech, Carin. Most people start skipping at that point. :-)
Comment by Carin on 12/5 @ 7:18 am #
Skipping to the end?
I’m enjoying it, but it’s so long. It was on my special shelf of books I’m determined to read.
Comment by Slartibartfast on 12/5 @ 7:31 am #
I actually kind of liked the speech, Spies. It was sort of a welcome belief from Rand’s typical oh-please-dominate-me ice-queen heroine, or her contemptuous-on-the-outside, ball-of-fire-rapist heroes. I think Rand spent much of her adult life searching for the man who would just hurl her on the bed and fuck her doors off. Someone who she respected, mind you, but someone who hated her with a passion, yet couldn’t stop thinking about her body. Or something; Freud might have been able to figure her out, but I sure couldn’t.
See, Rand’s characters never made sense to me. If they were the inevitable end product of her philosophy, I wanted no part of it. Which is not to say that it was all bad, but a lot of it purely didn’t work.
Her idea of the solitary inventor is turning out to be not really all that realistic, much like Rousseau’s solitary primitive male. Not saying a single person can’t do invention, but there’s a very limited number of things a single visionary can do, alone. Rand didn’t know squat about science or engineering, either. Particularly metallurgy. Didn’t stop her from writing about it, though. If only we had a technology to generate power from nothing, we could build ourselves a Galt’s Gulch, too. Maybe we could even invent a force-field and a camouflaging ray as well. That’ll keep the neighbor’s dog out of our yards.
None of which is to say that you shouldn’t suspend disbelief and enjoy it, though.
Comment by Spies, Brigands, and Pirates on 12/5 @ 7:32 am #
No, just skipping to the end of the speech, but that’s a good 50 or 60 pages. You’ll find out. :-)
