I was watching MSNBC last night and they pointed out an interesting fact. Sarah Palin’s JACKET she wore the night of her acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention cost $2,500! (1) WHAT?!?!
Now let me just say that I am glad that this has not been made a big deal by the media. THE PRICE OF SARAH PALIN’S JACKET IS NOT IMPORTANT OR RELEVANT FOR THIS ELECTION. Clearly this week’s problems of the economy has demonstrated that the real issues need to be discussed. Besides, I’m more worried that Sarah Palin thinks she has insight to foreign affairs because one can see Russia from an Alaskan island, or that she is lying about taxes, oil production and earmarks. But this is just a blog and I am not apart of the media. I can write about what I please without worrying about influencing the election by bombarding American public with irrelevant information.
$2,500 for just the jacket; I wonder how much the entire outfit cost? Sarah Palin, who on stage during her speech, criticized community service and calls her opponent elitist in other events, had the gall to wear such an extravagant outfit? She claims to be an average hockey mom. As a kid, I grew up as a hockey player in a pretty affluent community and I never saw a hockey mom wear such an outfit…ever. I also have never seen a barracuda (SARAH BARRACUDA, EEEGGGHH) wear such an outfit (besides the blue shirts on Legends of the Hidden Temple…poor attempt at humor). I understand that she wanted to look her best in her debut to the American public, but it’s a little much. It’s troubling that in her speeches she tries to empathize with the struggles of the American family in a poor economy, while her jacket costs more than some mortgages. And evidently the McCain campaign doesn’t want the American public know that she is wearing designer labels, I wonder why? (1)
Talk about wasteful spending, maybe it’s that kind of spending attitude that left Wasilla, Alasksa twenty-million dollars in debt when she left as mayor. (2)
