1. Newsweek says now that it's actually MORE than $150,000.

3. I just hope we don't have to
see or hear her enough to notice. She's beyond irritating.

4. Remember, it wasn't just Sarah that benefitted from that shopping spree
Her husband and kids got a windfall too. We might never know just what the hell she spent all that money on but she should be held accountable.

Then again having John McCain pick you as his running mate pretty much shot her career goodbye. I think she's earned it.

5. Is anyone gong to pursue that bit of embezzlement?
The McCain-Feingold* act specifically mentions clothes for the candidate as something campaign contributions can't be used for... not even to mention accusations that some of those clothing shops on the receipts were men or children specialists...

*I still chuckle to myself everytime I think of McCain's campaign being brought up on charges for violating legislation he helped write...

6. Why bother? She needs to disappear - I don't want to see or hear from her again.
I don't care if she keeps the clothes; let her wear them and pretend she's VP, lol.

7. Heard an accountant on NPR say
she would have to pay tax on the haul - as income, even if the clothes are donated.

No thank you, I've seen enough of the Wicked Witch of the North for one lifetime.
