GOP Strategist On Palin's Clothing Allowance: Real Outrage Is "Obama Taking A 767 Campaign Plane To Visit Grandma" (VIDEO)

Republican strategist Brad Blakeman, responding to a question about how John McCain could square his opposition to wasteful spending with the RNC shelling out over $150,000 on clothes and accessories for Sarah Palin, said that the real outrage is Barack Obama "taking a 767 campaign plane to go visit Grandma .... Forget about the energy that is wasted, what about the hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a private trip when this guy should be humping his bags on a commercial plane or taking a smaller plane. Taking a 767 of campaign money from people who could least afford it is more of an outrage in my opinion." Anchor David Schuster, laughing, replied, "That is one of the most valiant tries I have ever seen in this entire debate about Sarah Palin's clothing allowance."

1. Republicans have no sense of equivalence. expensive clothes somehow=expensive visit to dying gramma.

I wish they would ask their supporters which of those scenarios they would approve.

2. Jousting with windmills ....

The words flutter and die ...

If you listen carefully you can hear the words 'maverick', 'socialist', and 'Ayers' whispering weakly as they waft to the north pole, and land with a soft 'thpppt'; dying in the cold tundra ....

Sarah will see where they landed from her house in Wasilla ....

Much ado about nuthin .... He's going to see his dying gramma, damnit .....

3. Real Outrage: the USA has a million+ homeless, 50 million with no Health Care, but not ONE...

...of these smarmy, slimy "repub strategist" WASTES of carbon compounds
has been strung up by their own intestines yet.


That's OUTRAGEOUS.
I know it is, because I'm outraged.

4. Funny to see a man flounder

Really, it is. Ah GOP, how pathetic you've become.

[Democat]

5. Translation: Republicans would like Obama on a small plane right away!

Easier for them to take him out that way!

No more small planes for Democratic candidates, sorry GOP!

6. The real outrage is that McCain campaign is still trying to defend the wardrobe malfunction when

what they really should do is apologize and refund the money back to the doners.

7. The last time a rising star in the Democratic Party

took a small plane during a campaign event, the Republicans killed him-remember Paul Wellstone?
