    Link to Politico story about the $150,000 the RNC has spent dressing up Caribou Barbie: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14805.html

    Seems to be a pattern here with the per diem abuse and what not.

    Wasting government money seems to be a Palin specialty. I'm sure weslinder is proud.

    Exactly, because that's what small family values and real Americans do.

    In some respects, her lavish wardrobe gives them press coverage in magazines that penetrates a population that isn't politically inclined nor targeted.

    That marketing effect would work if she was intellectually appealing and savvy, could emotionally connect with that demographic or at least be an inspiring symbol for them to emulate.

    Jackie Kennedy she is not.

    Cut her some slack, she probably does not know which party uses the donkey or the elephant.

    Now, if they used a moose...

    That's 4 times the US average income to make her and her family and her future son-in-law presentable. How sad is that.

    Republicans say they always planned to donate the clothes after the election.

    I don't believe it.

    What I've learned by watching Fox & Friends:

    John Edwards + $400 campaign money haircut (reimbursed) = out of touch to the American working class

    Sarah Palin + $150,000 Saks Fifth Avenue wardrobe (RNC-funded, not reimbursed) = necessary in today's politics
