Where's Palin's $150G Wardrobe? RNC Doesn't Say
Fox ^ | 3/4/2009 | Fox

Where is Sarah Palin's wardrobe? That's the $150,000 question.

The high-priced clothing the Republican National Committee bought for the Alaska governor's vice presidential run late last summer was donated to charity, as far as her spokeswoman knows.

"To my knowledge, the RNC donated the clothes, and in a quiet and respectful manner," Palin's spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, told FOXNews.com in an e-mail Tuesday.

But a source close to the clothing discussion told FOXNews.com last Wednesday that the RNC had not donated the clothes and that the wardrobe has remained at the RNC since Nov. 7, when it was returned.

The RNC will not confirm whether it donated the various clothing and accessories it purchased for Palin at the start of her vice presidential run. And phone calls by FOXNews.com to local Washington charities that would accept women's clothing yielded no information.

Mr. Steele, you know the left is going to make an issue of everything they can, so why do you give them things?

Instead of taking care of this, you are demonizing Rush.

Step down from your post.

Oh boooy. Is this wardrobe crap still on? Who cares!? Our country is going down the crapper right now.

IMO they should keep the clothes for 2012.

It was probably grabbed by the various staff and hangers-on after the campaign.

I doubt though there are many with the figure who can make those clothes look as good as Palin can!!!

Mr. Steele, show some charity.

Send that wardrobe to the WH.
God knows Michelle could use some fashion style.

Who cares where it is. Didn’t the RNC pay for it?

Actually the question we should be asking is: "Who gives a @%#@$#@?"

Clinton wore some damn fine suits, and I'll bet he spent more on his hair than even Gov. Palin. I don't think he was so eager to reach into his own pocket for that if he could help it.

The point is that this will be played as “news” when it should be off of the radar.

A monkey could have seen this coming, but Steele didn’t.

There is no such thing as “property” any more.

And who is paying for Michelle’s ghastly overpriced wardrobe?

Lets start asking where Michelle’s terrible dress that made her look like a burning torch is....why hasn’t she worn it again...does she throw them away after one use.

Bet Sarah doesn’t do that. She makes some of her own clothes.

On some things, like dishing dirt, we need to match the lefty pundits to teach them some limits.

What is the difference in the RNC paying $150K for Palin’s clothes and the DNC paying $1,000+K for Hussein's lawyers?

Look Mr. Steele, I fervently condemned Mike Duncan for not being forthcoming about the RNC purchasing the clothes for Sarah and that SARAH HAD NO PART IN THE DECISION TO WHICH CLOTHES TO BUY, WHERE TO SHOP FOR THEM, OR THE ACTUAL DECISION TO SET HER UP WITH A NEW WARDROBE IN THE FIRST PLACE, thus leaving Sarah hanging out to dry.

Please, Mr. Steele, man-up-tell us what happened to the clothes and once and for all tell the world that Sarah Palin had nothing to do with the decision of the RNC to purchase the clothes for her (except in giving her measurements) to use on the campaign trail.

I recall one junket Bill Clinton took to Africa or some other backwater; a complete photo op during some of his worst headaches. He took a planeload of press people, and advisers, and chefs, and attendents...paid for these hangers on at the public till. Did we see the Liberal Lapdog Media present an impressive investigative campaign to expose the waste?

I'm still waiting.

Crickets

For that matter, anyone remember a promise Bill made to explain his entire relationship with Ms. Lewinski "Sooner, rather than later"? I'm still waiting on that as well.

If any of you fine FReepers have the skills, could you please provide us with the date that Bill promised that, and the exact quote. I feel a letter to the editor coming on!

Really. If they haven't gotten rid of this stuff they are completely Brain Dead. Just handing the opposition more clutter to get in the way of reality. If Steele is responsible for this it's just another nail in his Coffin.

Didn’t Palin say in an interview that much of it was actually returned after the campaign?

The Stupid Party strikes again. A well-publicized auction would have buried this nonsense and scored philanthropic street cred.

They flayed the flesh off of it and are now sanding the bones. Such obsession on the part of the Dems. Shall we discuss the wardrobes of top Dems. It would be interesting to find out how much they spend on clothes.
