hah For Gio cause frankly he'd be disappointed if I didn't dis Sarah and give him so more fodder.

Sarah and the $150,000.00 worth of clothes she said she returned?

Photographed today wearing some of them.

After a 12-day hiatus, Sarah Palin stepped back into the spotlight on Monday to campaign for Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss. Spectators experienced déjà vu as the Alaska governor sported the same jacket she had worn on the campaign trail this fall. UPDATE: the jacket was first photographed on Palin on August 31st, two days after joining the McCain ticket, when she started the day at a rally in O'Fallon, Missouri before flying to Minneapolis for the Republican National Convention. So was Palin valiantly recycling old clothes or defiantly wearing items from her $150,000 wardrobe?

You can say you hate the site but they didn't dress Sarah.

Read the whole thread please

An Update to this story.

Looks like it was BS.

The communications for Obama's transition, Dan Pfeiffer, flatly denied a Daily Mail report that Obama is buying an exotic $30,000 ring to thank his wife "for her support during the election."

The report is sourced to an anonymous spokesman for the manufacturer of the rhodium ring, who is quoted claiming, "Our agent in the United States was asked by Mr. Barack Obama about the ring because he wants it as a thank-you gift for his wife Michelle for her support the last two years."

The spokesman is not named in the story, and there seems to be no other evidence for the claim.

The report is "not true," said Pfeiffer in an email. He didn't elaborate.


I did...and...it has Bill Clintonitis written all over it :smile: ...after word leakes...they deny it...yet still go ahead with purchase...probably took a poll...or...used focus group data...:banana: ...lol


Talk about putting a spin on something.laugh

gee...Did the democratic nation committee pay for the ring?


not even the slightest appearance of privilege or impropiety ?...indifferent


First, I wasn't bothered by the Palin/wardrobe 'incident' so maybe I'm not the one to ask. I understand what you're getting at, but the man has the money and, even if it is true, it doesn't bother me. What I'm trying to figure out is if it would bother me if say.... Bush did it. And I don't think so. But believe me, I am aware of how biases can paint the same action differently in different people. There is the possibility that since I perceive Bush to be out of touch with the common person that I would mentally hold this as indicative of that. Bias is a hard thing to sort out.

If someone buys something out of his own pocket(the man can afford it)be it Bush,Clinton or Obama it's none of my damn business.I didn't think people took the tabloids seriously.

what I just said is the honest to God truth...he did govern using polls and focus groups...he admits it !...as far as comparing him to GWB...I think they were both embarrassing in different ways...I'll give Bush credit in the sense that he did what HE believed was right...he had his convictions...his principles...where as Clinton did what the polls dictated...and...really was quite vapid in this regard...as for people still wanting to hear him speak ?...only Liberals really care to listen to his stories...ask Hillary what she thinks of him...:banana:

I think it looks bad only in the sense that many of his supporters don't make that in a year...in other words...I wouldn't run around feeling their pain [ where'd we hear that before ]...telling them that this the worst economy since the Great Depression...while droppin' 30k on the old lady !...LOL...[ the Italian in me just leaked out ! ]...LOL

I think people really didn't like the fact of Bush's administration denying that we were in economic trouble. How do you go from fundamentally sound to needing over a trillion dollars to bail out companies that you feel you couldn't let go..In a couple weeks time..
