The right wing spin on clothes gate.. its going to charity

[Peacetrain]

You just can't make this stuff up.. today on talk radio it will be all about how Palins wardrobe will be donated to charity after the election. How long did it take them to think that one up..fly by the seat of your pants strikes again

1. Damage control

won't work on this one

with people worrying about their jobs, and Xmas coming, no way does this do anything but piss the undecided off.

[Peacetrain]

8. The absolute audacity to try and pull a stunt like that off

just unbelievable.. I am sure there are those few percentages who will believe anything that is red.. thinking of Elizabeth on the View.. but even stupid has a shelf life

[Bilyb]

14. They'll probably auction it off on EBay

and "donate" the money to RNC or Talk Radio or some such nonsense.
Amway gals across America will be lookin sharp :D

[ingac70]

2. Bet she's pissed she won't be keeping all those fancy clothes. n/t

[Merlot]

20. yea, like she's really gonna give back the clothes????

From what we've seen of the queen, she's a taker (per diems, travel for family) not a giver.

[Sydnie]

3. Yes, the unwashed masses should be happy with hand me downs

Think of the good that MONEY could have done if it had been directly donated to a food pantry somewhere?

[Peacetrain]

25. I know, it is just amazing..

especially for someone who is supposed to be the "common person"

[ClassWarrior]

4. It's gonna trickle down?

:rofl:

NGU.

[Peacetrain]

6. Thats good!

:rofl:

[rateyes]

5. Even the clothes she bought for Piper??

Heartless b*&ch.

[Peacetrain]

10. ohhhhh good question!

[FUCK_BUSH]

7. Sarah is fighting for average and six pack joe.she is down to earth woman with only $150.000 Worth o...

cloths. NOW this is a true American who love middle class people and fights for them.She is not ELITES at all.Obama/s wife is ELITES because she buys clothes from GAP and H&M.

FUCK GOP , there are very small differences between them and NAZI party.You don't believe me go head and compare the two.

[GalleryGod]

9. Charity! Rich Lowery would spend Half a Mil for Sarah-worn clothes!

:rofl: :puke: :rofl:

[ingac70]

11. All he wants is her panties. n/t

[Juche]

12. Charities need 150k in clothes

Yup. And if they can buy a Bugatti and donate that to charity that'll be sweet too. Ah well, at least the undecided voters will be upset by this. But if you can make it this long and not decide then you probably don't follow the news anyway.

13. I'm having trouble envisioning a shopping bag lady with a Louis Vuitton handbag

Those things don't hold much.

[ClassWarrior]

Great imagery. A Louis Vuitton bag lady.

:rofl:

Send this to Olbermann!

NGU.

[AlCzervik]

15. but is still a violation of campaign law right?

[MgtPA]

16. Sarah's bummed - there goes the parting gifts.

[kegler14]

17. I really wouldn't care what they spent, except

conservatives made such a big deal of Kerry and Edwards spending lots on clothes and haircuts. They even made fun of Kerry for marrying a "sugar mama." HELLO!!! What about Cindy McCain?

Anyway, one defense I saw on FR fits those people to a T. Palin's a woman so it's OK for her to spend a lot on clothes and hair and makeup. But Edwards' haircut was not OK because he's a man and no man needs a $400 haircut. Makes you girly, don't you know (their words, not mine).

PS -- Personally I don't think anybody NEEDS a $400 haircut, but, hey, it's his money.

[Hepburn]

18. Sure...right....so that is why they announced this....

...when they spent the money on her clothes and not just merely after they got outed on this. So...how are they gonna donate the $4K worth of hair and make-up shit? Scrape it off her face? Bleed the dye out of her hair? Inquiring minds want to know.

Just what every Goodwill shopper needs...a $3K red leather jacket once worn by the 2008 losing candidate for VP of the US.

Who the fuck do they think they are kidding? :eyes:

[Peacetrain]

21. They tried to pull a fast one and got caught red handed!!

Now they are trying to dig out. The republicans and the rnc..they are the gang that could not shoot straight. I did not even think about the makeup! good catch

[leftynyc]

19. I bet Sarah's pissed now

I'm sure that she was never told that as they just made it up to make this story go away.

[Peacetrain]

24. Oh I think everyone in that campaign is po'd at this point.

and mostly I think they are mad at each other :)

[bridgit]

22. Yes. They will leave her scent on the garments and glad-handers like Limbaugh, Hannity...

and lobbyist neocon war profiteers supporting McCain will pay MILLIONS of dollars for them pressing them to their faces breathing in 'essence of palin' before laying down in bed beside them like sick, whimpering forlorn puppies

Oh and BTW, the charities will likely be they such as these:

26. I love that quote

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that we’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses."

Yeah! I mean, come on! Why are we wasting time talking about pantsuits and blouses when we could be talking about the really important issues? You know, like Bill Ayers? :sarcasm:
