Welcome to our world. (Clinton ring a bell?)

Palin ceases to be 'every woman' or 'one of us' or 'just another hockey mom' from a small town when she spends that kind of money on clothes. Yes, those types of clothes are necessary for what she is doing, but it puts her in the category completely out of touch with the category she is appealing to.

On the other hand, would Palin get slammed for looking shoddy if she made a decision to wear pantsuits from Sears? Probably.

I have no problems with politicians dressing well. In fact, I expect it. I do, however, have a problem with putting on a painful show of "folksyness" and accusing your opponant of "elitism", and then going on a $150,000 clothes shopping binge with somebody elses money.

True that.

For a study in contrast, here's the Obama's on fashion: GQ on a budget

(He's probably going to get slammed as being too elitist to shop for clothes now).

Honestly, I don't disagree with the clothing- she's up there with Mrs. 'Haute' McCain, and she's got to have something better than that pink monstrosity Snow showed us. (I still think the tabs excessive, but oh well). But make-up? McCain has facial scarring he needs to cover, yet his was almost half what her bill was.

McCain in 2000 said:

Audience member: "Why is it that someone like my father who goes to school for 13 years gets penalized in a huge tax bracket because he's a doctor."

McCain: "I think it's to some degree because we feel obviously that wealthy people can afford more."

Audience member: "Are we getting closer and closer to, like, socialism?"

McCain: "Here's what I really believe: That when you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more."
