The GOP is sending people to Wasilla to check on the clothes

[malaise]

the Mall Moose bought....according to GEM$NBC. I also heard earlier that she bought Gucci shoes for her kids - Those clothes are well hidden GOP. You've been robbed by the grifter - the Wasilla hillybilly. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I am fuggin lovin dis. :rofl: :rofl:

1. Hopefully, the people are from the Department of Justice n/t

[malaise]

3. Who was the Republican donor who paid for the clothes

I'm betting it's the ex HP lady - that crackpot. Damn this is fall down funny. :rofl:

[itsrobert]

6. It could of been Cindy McCain

?

[HereSince1628]

9. I'd have sworn the checks came from an undisclosed location.

It could be Cindy McCain, but I'm guessing someone more closely associated with funding the American Enterprise Institute.

Being from Wisconsin I'd guess a member of the Bradley Family. They are the ones who underwrote the Project for the New American Century. A hallmark of their activities is placing idiot puppets into high government positions.

8. Maybe it was the Mrs. Baron de something or another Rothchild.

That would be something. :)

[yardwork]

32. OMG I hope it was her! I hadn't even thought of that!!! That would be PERFECT.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. So the Republicans are NOW worried about extravagant spending (and borrowing)?

They never fail to amuse me.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Can we investigate THEM (and the Bush mis-administration) for their RECKLESS spending over the past 8 years (especially in Iraq)?

[malaise]

12. Valid point

but please don't stop my corrent soap opera of choice - The Grifters. :rofl:

[AllieB]

4. She bought her 7 year old a $1500 Louis Vuitton bag.

There was a photo of her with it. Who in their right mind would buy their kid a Louis Vuitton? Can you imagine the uproar if Michelle Obama bought Sasha a designer bag?

[Poll_Blind]

15. I saw that pic too, on TMZ.com. I tried looking for it this morning but...

...couldn't find it. I'm sure it's still there though.

[Dora]

22. I thought it was a knockoff?

Posters here were saying that it wasn't real Louis Vuitton.

[madaboutharry]

23. The bag that Piper was carrying is a fake.

It is a copy of a bag that sells for $790 at LouisVuitton.com. The authentic version is called Montorgueil PM.

The bag also looks older, which makes me think that it is Sarah Palin's fake bag.

[tblue37]

31. I doubt that. I believe the child was probably just holding

the bag for her mom, while Palin shook hands and gave speeches. Still, she shouldn't have bought herself a Gucci bag (at $800. I believe, not $1500) with other people's money and without their express permission to do so.

[Donnachaidh]

36. she's gonna carry firewood in that $1500 bag?

Geez -- where does a Hillbilly use such useless stuff? The other hockey moms will be PISSED. :rofl:

[tavalon]

37. I don't think our new First Lady would do that

It would give the wrong message to Sasha and as a good mother, she wouldn't want that for her daughter.

[johnlal]

5. Predictions:

1. The "poor" never get Sarah Palin's clothes.
2. Bristol and her baby's father don't get married.
3. New Governor scandal rocks Palin's Administration in Alaska.
4. Income tax problems for Palins.

Bonus Points:

5. Bristol pregnancy was made up.

[Ikonoklast]

19. Their house built by Tawd and his 'contractor friends'

at the same time that over-budget hockey rink was being built will be found out to be paid for by the taxpayers of Wasilla.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. Yeppers! That's going to come out too! I said yesterday that the

house fell off the back of a truck!

:rofl:

[malaise]

30. Palin is history

Too many scandals waiting to be exposed.

Additionally Palin is batshit crazy. She will be exposed soon and very soon.

[madaboutharry]

7. There is a deeper story here.

If you piece together the little snippets of information concerning "money" and "stuff" in association with Palin, you will see a pattern. The per diem charges for staying in her own home, charging the state of Alaska for plane tickets, hotel rooms, and meals for her children at events at which they were not invited, questions about the Palins' tax returns, and now this all dovetail into a portrait of a woman and a family that are indeed grifters and cheats.

The utter chutzpah of this shopping spree is really rather startling. The extravagant choices are startling. This is the truth, people who are millionaires do not spend money like this. They will most certainly purchase the finest quality, but much of what we are hearing about is simply gratuitous buying for the sake of buying stuff. Much of it doesn't make sense unless it was for the purpose of greedily grabbing while the grabbing was good.

[malaise]

10. Well GEM$NBC is having a ball with this

every fifteen minutes. There's a movie to be made here - The Grifters - come in Spike Lee!!
Who wants to put together a UTube start up? :rofl:

She's a fugging greedy wanna be.

[peekaloo]

20. have you seen 'The Grifters' w/John Cusack/Angelica Huston?

hence my comment directly below.

:evilgrin:

[malaise]

29. Great movie

They are grifters alright.

[mainer]

21. good point. Real millionaires are rather frugal.

At least, the ones I know. That's how a lot of them became millionaires. It's the pseudo-rich, with debt up to their eyeballs, who buy the Rolexes.

[yardwork]

35. I've said the same thing. Palin is a crook - worse than Ted Stevens.

She's highly corrupt and I suspect that she will be taken down by others in her own party who want her out of her way. I anticipate jail time in her future.

[peekaloo]

11. Please tell me they sent Bobo with his bag of oranges.

;-)

[lies and propaganda]

13. i loved little Pillows Vuitton bag..

what seven year old doesnt need a bag worth thousands of dollars?!

Probably a reward for having not getting preggers yet ;0

[arcadian]

14. It's almost like she was picked to deflect the embarrassment of a loss from McCain.

n/t

[malaise]

17. She picked herself

$30,000 on her kids; $40,000 on first dude. Damn.

[CrispyQ]

16. Am I the only one who thinks they will come back & say

"Everything was above board & the expenses were not excessive or unwarranted."?

[malaise]

18. No they already have a problem

KO showed quotes from her spokesperson's response. She/he said it was all false and the campaign people who used credit cards were reimbursed. That's a major contradiction right there.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

25. Didn't Newsweek say that the Hillbilly lost some of the clothes? Quick! Check eBay!

:rofl:

[malaise]

26. What might be fun is to check both Sachs and

Neiman Marcus' catalogues and save the photos of the dresses/suits for we know we'll see them again when she thinks all is forgotten. :rofl:

[tblue37]

33. Those clothes are hidden, so they don't have to give them to

charity now. They fully plan to keep and wear them.

[malaise]

34. That's my point

We need to save pix of the clothes so that we recognize them when she wear them.
She's going to receive a nice tax bill.

[gatorboy]

27. Heh! She kept them, eh? And I thought they were going straight to charity.

Shame, shame! :P

[malaise]

28. She didn't just keep them

She bought way more than they assumed.

Palin is a dangerous pathological liar. That rally with the clueless one from The View is even more ridiculous given the new revelations.
