It looks like John McCain is getting alot of media flack about Sarah Palin’s $150k wardrobe. In fact, McCain admits that the Republican campaign hasn’t purchased his clothes, so why did they buy Sarah’s? Good question and it’s something that McCain isn’t answering. What would Joe the Plumber say?

Everyone agrees spending $75k in one day at Neiman Marcus is extreme. If she’s from Alaska, why all the designer clothes. Was Cindy McCain with her? Seems a bit excessive and no one on television can tell if it’s Prada or J.C. Penney. We all know how Sarah Palin loves her swag.

Associated Press Reports:

Presidential candidate John McCain isn’t happy about having to explain why the Republican Party has had to buy running mate Sarah Palin $150,000 in clothes, hair styling and accessories.

McCain was asked several questions on Thursday about the shopping spree — and he answered each one more or less the same way: Palin needed clothes and they’ll be donated to charity.

“She needed clothes at the time. They’ll be donated at end of this campaign. They’ll be donated to charity,” McCain told reporters on his campaign bus between Florida rallies.

Asked for details on how they’ll be donated, McCain said, “It works by her getting some clothes when she was made the nominee of the party and it will be donated back to charity.”

Asked if he was surprised at the amount spent, McCain said, “It works that the clothes will be donated to charity. Nothing surprises me.” McCain offered no further comment, except to say that the Republican National Committee doesn’t buy his clothes.

Asked Wednesday who had paid for the suit he was wearing, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden told WSLS-TV in Roanoke, Va.: “I pay for my suits. I pay for all of my own clothing.”

I guess Sarah Palin isn’t your typical hockey mom, she has VERY EXPENSIVE taste. Especially when it’s on the taxpayers dime. Personally, I think Palin should buy her own clothes. It’s waste of voters money and it could have been better spent on campaign media.
