Sarah Palin spends $150k on clothes in one month

Talk about sharing the wealth. The RNC has doled out $150 thousand for GOP VP choice Sarah Palin to shop for clothes in the past Month.
Because none of it was my money, I guess I should be very careful in my observation. My step-dad always said, " Don't ever tell a man what to do with his own penny or his own penis." Actually, he said a man's dollar and his ..., well, you know what he said.
The RNC got this money from its little donors, of course. And they spent it on its leadership, Sarah Palin.
That's not Socialism, that's Communism.
Are we to assume those donors didn't know that expensive costume changes were in order? And couldn't Sarah Palin have gone to Wal-Mart in some of those little towns where she says "real Americans" live and shop? No, no. She shopped in Denver, CO and Minneapolis, MN.
I am pert near 52 years-old and I have not spent half that much on clothes in my life. And I lived in Denver for a while and have been to the Mall of America in Minneapolis a few times. Then again, I am a male. What do I know about fashion? Nothing. Seriously, just ask my wife. I know nothing about fashion and very little about much else.
I've worn the same belt for four years. Only had to put a couple of new holes in it. I own five pairs of shoes that include two pairs of very worn, cheap gym shoes.
What does $150k mean to folks in my little "real Americans" town? Well, you could probably purchase two really decent sized homes for that amount with some change left over to furnish them. That's providing you shopped at a discount furniture outlet. And maybe get a couple pairs of jeans at Wal-Mart.
Oh, and my non-profit after school youth program serving 60 kids per day, could run at break even point for five years on what Palin spent on clothes in one month's time.
Remember Joe the Plumber that McCain and Palin speak of too often? Couldn't he have used that $150 to make a 60 percent down payment on that business he wanted? Sure, McCain, Palin, and even Obama can relate to us. Sure they can.
I got it. This is why Obama wants a higher tax on folks making over $250k per year. So they can't go on extravagant shopping sprees.
What I would really like to know, did Tina Fey spend the same amount buying replicas of Palins wardrobe?
Change we need. Can you spare some Sarah Palin?
