You're 100% correct, but look at the hypocrisy of it. The other day, the NY Post and Rush Limbaugh were making a big deal out of a story that turns out to be 100% made up. The NY Post even printed a retraction. But even if the story had been true, it wasn't even nearly as 'bad' as Palin spending $150K on new clothes.
If there's anything many Republicans are good at, it's looking past their own hypocrisy. This story is a non-issue in comparison to a fake story of some uppity woman eating lobster.
