The rush purchases were made starting Labor Day weekend immediately after Palin was named as a running mate for John McCain. If the purchases had not been made in such a short period of time, stylists could have saved between 20 to 50 percent off the retail costs through industry discounts. These kinds of shopping excursions are not unusual for high profile figures where, for example, stylists will typically buy three sizes and three different styles of a sweater and later return excess clothes.

However, CBS News has learned the $150,000 includes deductions for clothes that were returned, meaning the total cost of the shopping excursions exceeded $150,000. The accessories and clothing did not include jewelry or watches.

2. of course she did!

You don't think he'd be allowed to show up at the GOP convention dressed like an unemployed Wasilla drop-out. I still want to know what other incentives they had to use to get him to show up and behave. BTW, what's happened to him?

3. I am sure the whole clan was outfitted. Rank and file repugs should be outraged!

Remember how they howled about Edwards' $400 haircut and said his supporters were duped? Hey freeps, how about that?
