You know it is true --

'She is an appalling choice, one that I believe will ultimately defeat Sen. McCain, who has after all served his country with distinction. Palin said recently that she was glad to be in Ohio, a "pro-America state." Does that make voters in Connecticut traitors? She is apparently unable to think through her remarks. As my kids say, "there's no fixing stupid, mom."'

-- A Boston Globe reader, commenting on the $150,000+ taxpayer dollars used to redo Palin's wardrobe.

I actually thought it was one of the commendable facts about her -- her jackets that did not pull quite right because they are off the rack.

I had thought the clothing looked amazinigly good and had assumed that they'd had a personal shopper take care of her wardrobe. What I had not realized was how much money those jackets cost. And the shoes! The characters in Sex and the City would love those shoes.

Everything has been carefully stage managed, including her glasses. I can understand the reasoning behind it but... no wonder we have a budget deficit.

Laura Bush's clothing wasn't that pricey.

Where do I sign up to get a $150,000 wardrobe re-do? Where can I sign up for $150? I'm even game for $15 right now! That'll buy a fun t-shirt at Old Navy! Anyone . . . anyone? ;-)
