Wow. Politico is reporting that the RNC has shelled out $150,000 on fashion for Gov. Palin and Family. If we divide that by the 60 days of the campaign occurring after the GOP Convention, that is $2,500 dollars a day! Talk about out of touch with the average family.
If the Republicans are going to be this careless about their donor's money, what does that say about how they are going to be with tax payers money.
If the Republicans are going to be this careless about their donor's money, what does that say about how they are going to be with tax payers money. And this is a chronic problem for Gov. Palin. The AP is reporting that Palin abused her travel expenses as Governor, using tax payer money to fly her family around the country.
From Politico:
The Republican National Committee appears to have spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.
According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.
The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.
