campaign $$ hard at work

remember when the GOP was all incensed about John Edwards $400 haircut? how could a supposed 'man of the people', a 'Joe 6-Pack' if you will, spend that much money on a single haircut. they used that issue to paint him as 'out of touch' & 'not 1 of us'. well, all I can say is payback is a bitch.

"Since her selection as John McCain's running mate, the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothing and make-up for Gov. Sarah Palin, her husband, and even her infant son, it was reported on Tuesday evening."

"During a week in which the Republican ticket is trying to highlight its connection to the working class - and, by extension, promoting its newest campaign tool, Joe the Plumber - it was revealed that Palin's fashion budget for several weeks was more than four times the median salary of an American plumber ($37,514). To put it another way: Palin received more valuable clothes in one month than the average American household spends on clothes in 80 years. A Democrat put it in even blunter terms: her clothes were the cost of health care for 15 or so people."
