Sarah Palin Still Wearing Campaign Clothes
Sarah Palin Still Wearing Campaign Clothes

After a 12-day hiatus, Sarah Palin stepped back into the spotlight on Monday to campaign for Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss. Spectators experienced déjà vu as the Alaska governor sported the same jacket she had worn on the campaign trail this fall. Was Palin valiantly recycling old clothes or defiantly wearing items from her $150,000 wardrobe? You be the judge.

1. She can't seem to do anything without attaching herself to some stupid sh!t.
LOL if that turns out to be part of the quarter million dollar shopping spree.

5. Actually, while the cut of the jacket is the same the Georgia jacket
is a much shinier fabrick almost a sateen and the top one appears to be a knit. Also the color difference between the gold and the white is too intense to just be lighting. I have no idea if they are the same batch but I think they are different jackets.

9. They look identical except for color. Maybe she got them at the same time.
I think lighting could make the jacket appear different even shinier.

11. back-lit daylight vs. front-lit incandescent lighting.
daylight makes fabrics look like cooler colors - and the light from the back wouldnt emphasize the sheen of the fabric. Incandescent light gives everything a yellow-orange tint - and the top lighting would make the sheen way more obvious.

In my opinion as a professional commercial photographer, its the same jacket. :hi:

14. How could she be so stupid as to wear that...

She should have come out and gone "nya nya-nya nya nya nyaaaaaa - I still have my cloooooothes".

19. I had wondered about the lighting. I still think the clothes flap is silly though.
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 02:44 PM by saracat
I could care less about whatever she does wears or who pays for it. Its a GOP problem.

23. I don't think it's the same jacket.
The fabric doesn't look the same. Not just the color, but also the nap/hand/whatever-you-call-it.

6. Wow! Two pics where she isn't wearing red or black leather...
She is one of the strangest women on any scene. And to see Saxby fawning over her while his wife stands there is just plain embarrassing

8. She also charged the state of Alaska for the campaign trip to Georgia...
Edited on Tue Dec-02-08 01:57 AM by larissa
...according to one of our radio hosts on Anchorage progressive radio today.

Evidently, Palin's spokesman (Bill McAllister) claimed that she can bill the state because she actually flew down for Obama's Governors Meeting and the trip to Georgia was just a "layover"...

(The campaign trip was planned before the Governor's meeting was announced)

The radio host "CC" said that Palin has been in Georgia most of the weekend and attended some sort of fundraiser there on Sunday.

I'm not sure who's more crazy.. Palin.. or the idiots who actually want her to run again...

17. Why is this "Presidential"?
She's not President, not qualified to be, she's a loser, let her go back to Alaska and keep an eye on Putin.

21. She probably hasn't figured out how to unbutton the jacket.
She'll donate the clothes as soon as she learns how to undress herself.

24. I think this line of attack on Palin is petty and sexist. IMO, everything
doesn't go just because someone is a political rival. That was Georgie and TurdBlossom's politics; democrats shouldn't sink to their level.

26. How? She said she was returning all those clothes and she
obviously has not and is making a statement by PROVING she didn't return them. If I were a Republican who had ever donated money to the RNC, I'd be pissed.

25. It's the same jacket. It's a silk jacket from Versace.
It's not one of a kind, but it's not off the rack, either. Very expensive. And yes, it's the same one, the lighting is just very different--one pick is indoors, one is outdoors.

27. Sarah donated them to charity
then bought them back for cheap. She probably got them for next to nothing at her favoriate consignment shop in Anchorage. :sarcasm:
