Campaign Expenses
This discussion over at theferrett's LJ is interesting.
My issue with Palin's ridiculous "appearance" budget is this:
-She (by which I mean her handlers/personal shoppers) spent about three times more money than needed to be spent. In New York, they went to Barney's and Bendel's when Macy's, H&M, Century21 (right by Ground Zero!), etc would have been sufficient.
-Since being picked for VP, she has made a "thing" about how normal and down to earth she is. Don't tell me that, and then spend five times my yearly salary on clothing for you and your family.
She bought an ivory-handled backscratcher when a plastic one would have suited just fine.
Discuss.
