Although the story about Michelle Obama's room service tab was a complete lie, CBS News reported this morning that the Republicans have spent about $150,000 buying new clothes for Sarah Palin and her family. The designer duds have been purchased at stores like Saks and Neiman Marcus. They plan to donate the clothes to charity afterwards.
So, I guess lots of "Joe Six Packs" and "Hockey Moms" with "small town values" can relate to spending $75,000 in one spree at Neiman.
I am not too bothered about this. Look at Obama's suits....they don't come off the rack at JC Penney's. These people are running for high office. They get private planes, motorcades, good places to stay ... and in the process they wear high end clothing. Comes with the territory.
