“She needed clothes at the time.” Yeah, c’mon, what don’t you punks understand? EAT SHIT, CRITICS. These liberal media types don’t realize that clothes aren’t free. This isn’t Communist Russia, although reporters obviously want it to be — a nice little private chunk o’ Communist Russia, one for each gotcha journalist, sold in a tank. [Politico]

That’s some bing bing.
what, was she naked?
I need some clothes too, but I don’t have $150K lying around, so I guess I’ll just have to go nekkid.
buncha gotcha nudist journalists…
Yeah, the bitch needed clothes! What did you want her to do, go out in a moose fur bikini??!!
would someone let Trig out of the LV bag, please?
At least the bag’s an obvious cheap fake. (The real ones never lose the LV monograms in the seams like that, because they’re handmade to avoid that)
[re=145324]tacodaemon[/re]: Elitist.
Piper looks like a little Britney Spears with her white trash McDonald’s cup & Louis Vuitton bag.
[re=145324]tacodaemon[/re]: What?! The McCain campaign is infringing on someone’s intellectual property rights? The hell you say!
McCain sacrifices by “paying for all my own clothes”. BS — I’ve never seen him at Goodwill or Salvation Army. If he’s up for another media stunt, he could take Palin to one of those places.
hey, Jim hid a funny one in the picture.
Good job, Jim!
[re=145324]tacodaemon[/re]: Wait, hold the fuck up, the Louis Vuitton is a fake? What the hell is that about? Now they’re supporting terrorists?

[re=145319]Gopherit[/re]: OMG! SHE HAS A MOOSE FUR BIKINI?!?!?!
STARBURST!
[re=145322]sarahconnor[/re]: WIN
[re=145333]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Nice.
Doesn’t the RNC know that Needless-Markup clothes are designed by GAY people? That’s why Normal Americans shop at Walmart: to make sure their holiday-themed sweatshirts are touched only by straight Chinese people.
What’s with the puffy sleeves? Prolly has man hands, too.
I betcha Joe the Plumber doesn’t spend $150K on clothes. Hell, you could probably add up the cost of everything in Joe’s house, including vehicles, and not come-up with $150K. I’m pretty sure Joe buys his clothes at Wal-Mart or Sears, not Neiman Marcus and Sak’s.
They feel they need to put the putative President of the United States in the situation of defending this stupidity?
Anyone with a bit of political sense would have found someone to blame, announce their resignation effective immediately, and moved on. What is this, like three news cycles now?
Unbelievable that the McCain campaign keeps getting worse!
“She needed clothes at the time.”
Now I know what killed Mr. Blackwell. Clothes? From Saks? How gauche. Cindy needs to school McCrank on the difference between “clothes” and “fashion.” “Clothes” don’t cost 150,000 ducats, buddy. “Clothes” = a pair of ice-cream-stained sweatpants crumpled up on the floor.
[re=145344]Aloysius[/re]: Not sure, but I bet she could make one.
obviously not an educated consumer or
she would have been shopping at syms.
Well, thanks a bunch to the liberal news media for breaking this story. I always try to find at least one good thing about a person, even a republitard. With Palen, it was her look: that bitchin wardrobe with that playful Wilma Flintstone updo. Come to find it was all bankrolled by the RNC.
This is America, Sarah — if you needed clothes so badly, why didn’t you embezzle them yourself?
HEY I need a few shirts and a couple of pairs of boxers. Does anyone have $100,000 ?
I PROMISE to give them to charity at some point, many years from now.
After work I plan on walking over to that very Neiman Marcus that Palin visited and demanding the VP treatment. I’ll also tell them to put it on the RNC tab. Really, at this point, who will notice/care?
[re=145319]Gopherit[/re]:
Isn’t that just another term for unshaven?
[re=145390]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Sure, that’s what you say now…
[re=145402]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I picture her having a modified brazilian in the outline of bullwinkle.
[re=145368]PrairiePossum[/re]: On Hardball just now, Tweety said Joe the Plumber’s entire house isn’t even worth $150,000.
I AM SARAH
THE GOVERNOR
What’s in that Lou Vitton bag, anyway? Half-eaten pack of Gummy Worms and “A Concise Guide to the Vice Presidency for 3rd Graders”?
[re=145428]Gopherit[/re]: High fashion has its price
[re=145333]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]:
Given that she’s being home schooled by her parents, she’s likely to make the same great decisions for herself that Ms Spears did.
I miss those nice moth eaten “republican cloth coats” like Pat Nixon was forced to wear by her skinflint husband Dick. Coming soon to a TV near you — the “Checkers” speech 2.0!
You know your Presidential campaign isn’t going well when you’re quoted saying “I pay for all of my own clothing.”
So…If she were elected she would give away the clothes and go back to rocking her JCPenney Hunt Club frumpery? Not buying that.
If were her and had 150K to spend on clothes I would get the one suit, that was radiation and bullet-proof, with rockets in the feet and the ability to shoot microwave beams from the fingers. Then no one would care that I was stupid.
[re=145442]Sangwi Ddong Chim[/re]: That would be “An Idiot’s Guide to the Vice Presidency for 3rd Graders”.
[re=145430]StrangelyBrown[/re]:
The sad thing – Joe and millions of others in his income bracket will vote for McCain even though McCain doesn’t really understand their lives and their problems.
Joint Statement From the RNC/McCainPalin Campaign:
“It’s a shame that when our country is in crisis we are talking about bloomers and blouses. The elitist media is choosing not to report the truth. Joe public knows that ALL women LOVE to shop ’til they drop. There is not a pro-American woman in this country who when put in the same circumstance wouldn’t do the exact same thing. The media has sunk to new lows, reporting Sarah Palin’s inability to control herself financially or act in an appropriate manner when spending someone else’s money. This is just a sad attempt to exploit a birth defect that plague all women of this great country and keep them from succeeding. Throughout his life McCain has shown a sincere understanding of women and their limitations – his overwhelming support of Sarah during this episode speaks for McCain’s commitment to all women and the issues that keep them realizing the respect they might deserve.”
[re=145465]totoro[/re]: JCPenney, wow, do those still exist!!? I also think there is a distinct possibility she is an Old Navy connoisseur, with a Hollister baby doll-tee fetish.
Hey, we all need clothes. So I’m writing a letter to the RNC, right now, to demand some. My poor sister hasn’t been able to afford new clothes in 3 years. She’s starting to look like something out of “Lil’ Abner.”
[re=145339]WendyK[/re]: That’s fantastic. You know, the *purchaser* of counterfeit designer stuff like that can be held liable; in Europe, buyers have been fined as much as 10,000 Euro just for buying fake designer bags.
WE’RE BUYING THEM OVER HERE SO WE DON’T HAVE TO BUY THEM OVER THERE.
[re=145319]Gopherit[/re]: Mmmm…..
That’s not just any old Loius Vitton bag, that is Trigs very own carrying case that the family uses to tote him from photo op to photo op in….
[re=145315]grendel[/re]: I don’t think many of us would really want to see any US politician naked. Not without a lot of booze or cash ahead of time!
Zhu Bajie
[re=145335]villageatrois[/re]: Probably his wife or his no. 2 wife buy his clothes for him. Otherwise he’d still be in old uniforms, etc.

Well, this just may be how the election was won – Palin’s Let-them-eat-cake moment.
The hoi polloi (that’s real America to you Ms. Palin-Antoinette) couldn’t give a damn about healthcare, the war, the ponzi economy, but, hey, show them someone spending all that moolah at Needless Markup, and they’re hungry for blood.
It’s even fitting that the Marie Antoinette quote’s misattributed or even fabricated. Sarah aint too big on facts.
“her policies and racism clearly sucks, but how could you vote against a woman with that much fashion sense?”
This whole thread is class warfare.
[re=145465]totoro[/re]: Oh my God! That could work for Al Franken. Quick, what’s his number???
[re=146264]Mara47[/re]: …except that he’s not stupid, of course. Didn ‘t mean to imply that. I even gave him some of my money when he first started whining about not having any.
OMG it looks like Piper’s head is starting to spin like the Exorcist chic!!!!!
[re=145333]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Yes, she does look like Britney Spears. And this frightens me as we are about to embark on Palin’s brood’s antics in the press for the rest of our lives. Unless we should end it now.
So Moosilini is apparently also claiming that many of the clothes haven’t left the (grizzly under-) belly of her aircraft. I’m guessing she’s also saved the receipts and left the tags on (even the stuff she’s wearing). And those stores refund in CASH!
I’m guessing a lot of stuff will finally be leaving the Layaway department at Walmart in Wasilla once that stuff gets returned.
I’ll bet she bought the purse on a street corner near Ground Zero. You can bet that’s a fake rolex too. Ah, the advantages of small town americans coming to NYC and buying crap.
is Piper’s head twisting around Exorcist stylee in that photo?? that’s one creepy little girl.
That little shit is better dressed than me.
Bristol’s growing more preggers daily–going thru gay-designed maternity wear (that paints a picture) daily. And just getting Levi to stand still while the wranglers shaved him and put on a tie……
But, really, my wife’s been looking a bit frumpy in our late 1990s Saturn Wagon–she needs a car, man, and it’s gonna take $100 large to get the right one. Of course, in ten years, when we’re done with it, we’ll donate it to charity–the kidney fund folks and the blind people keep asking for donations for used cars, so……
Sorry for repeating myself but I just gotta say it again… How in the name of all creation can the Republican base be blind to the hypocrisy in all of this???!!! They cheer on that “maverick” John McCain for his role in sponsoring the Campaign Reform Act wherin it is clearly illegal to use campaign funds for the candidate’s clothing. Then they defend these two-faced jerks for slithering around the issue by using RNC money to makeover that redneck and the rest of her white trash family. Don’t they know you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear??? It’s hard to believe the Republican base is so fucking ignorant they’ve gone gaga over that bimbo.
And speaking of hypocrisy, you’d think those idiots at RNC would hire a wardrobe stylist with enough sense to dress her in an American designer instead of $4,000 Valentino suits!!! I guess it wouldn’t be as flashy but at least then maybe we could believe all that Pro-American crap!!! Or better yet play to the feminist angle and dress the bimbo in Donna Karan.
So the spin doctors can only defend the extravace by promising to donate her clothing to charity after the election. Give me a break!!!! And what happens if, God forbid, these buffoons get elected??? What’s she gonna wear to the office every day??? And don’t forget this time she’ll need a new $10,000 gown every time the White House hosts a black tie event. Who’s gonna pay for it??? Will taxpayers foot the bill for yet another closet full of Valentino???
So forgive my ignorance but I haven’t wanted to clutter my head with names and images of Palins family. Is it safe to assume that kid in the photo is one of her offspring? What is she 10 or 12 years old? So why is she carrying a Louis Vuitton??? Sooooo much is wrong with this picture!!!! If it’s authentic that bag is worth what, $1800 or so??? OK so maybe it’s a tacky knock-off but nonetheless, how in Gods name is this flagrant display of oppulence appealing to Joe the Plumber and Suzie the soccer mom who shop exclusively at Walmart and Target???
