The Really: Is she gone?
News reports say that Sarah Palin has left the lower 48 and returned to Alaska USA this afternoon. Gone but not forgotten and though someone, somewhere has convinced this person that they should run for national office we perfer to keep the sterotype of Alaskans as being survivalists, or nut cases or people running from the law (as wrong as that might be).
Mudflats, that beacon of truth from the far northern reaches, however now has more to report about their Governor. At least they know how to handle her.
“NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin’s shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain’s top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy. One senior aide said that Nicolle Wallace had told Palin to buy three suits for the convention and hire a stylist. But instead, the vice presidential nominee began buying for herself and her family — clothes and accessories from top stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
According to two knowledgeable sources, a vast majority of the clothes were bought by a wealthy donor, who was shocked when he got the bill. Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent ‘tens of thousands’ more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide … said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.”
