THAT's the person I want to meet. Or, do we already know. Maybe I should change that to say, Or, do you already know (since I obviously don't.)

1. All I know is that it seems like a heck of a coincedence that Biden
made his supposed "gaffe" yesterday, which could have dominated the news cycle today but suddenly, this morning we wake up and learn about the RNC spending 150K for the Palin families wardrobe.

Thinks that make you go "hmmmm..."

9. Excellent point!
Timing is everything! I bet they had this in the bag a while, and were waiting for the next time they needed to retake the news cycle!

2. I think they have to turn in all the expenses and expenditures
to the federal elections board and they got busted on the audit.

4. Somebody dug through the FEC filings to get the information
I can't remember who it was, though.

5. Me too. I wondered and was glad to hear it.
Loved a comment Randi Rhodes made about her wardrobe budget being over three times as much as Joe the Plumber's annual income.

6. Some enterprising person in the media went over the campaign's...
...FEC filing and found those "campaign accessories" entries. Looking deeper into those entries, he discovered the receipts.

7. She should have gone on What Not To Wear
instead of SNL. It might have gone her some good.
