Gov. Palin responds to Saksgate:
“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” said Palin, saying the clothes are not worth $150,000 and were bought for the Republican National Convention. Still, she has been wearing pricey clothes at campaign events this fall. She said they will be given back, auctioned off or sent to charity. Most of them, she said, haven’t even left the belly of her campaign plane. – Chicago Tribune
This single paragraph pretty much says it all:
What “facts” are out there that haven’t been reported? It must be the “MEDIA” filtering her again!
It’s hard to say that the clothing isn’t worth $150,000 when there are campaign reports that say exactly that.
That’s a lot of money to spend on clothes that were only to be worn during a 5 day convention, 2 of which you attended.
So they spent $150,000 on a bunch of clothes that she won’t even use and are going to sit in the belly of a plane?
I wonder how a Republican like Senator Norm Coleman, who’s in a tight race, would feel knowing that his party spent that kind of money that could have gone to advertisements, GOTV operations, or mailings on clothes that were meant to sit in the closet of a campaign plane?

While you obsess over Sarah Palin’s high heels. The rationale for the Milwaukee county sales tax increase goes down the crapper for residents of the city.
