RNC Sent Lawyers to Alaska To Recover 150K Palin Clothing

Update: November 10th, 2008 :

The lawyer arrived in Alaska and Sarah Palin spent most of her weekend sorting through all the clothing she bought for herself, her husband and her family. Sarah’s father said she spent most of the time “trying to figure out” what clothing belonged to the RNC. One would think that all of the clothing Sarah belongs to the RNC.

Palin said during the campaign that she would return all the clothing after the election, which she did not follow up on since it is now all in Wasilla, Alaska.

Lawyers spent the weekend also discussing with Palin that what was left of the clothing will go to charity, or back the stores, or to be paid for by Palin. This was disclosed by a campaign official on Friday.

The campaign stated that about one third of the clothing was returned because it was the wrong size, or for other reasons. However other purchases were made after the clothing was returned to the stores.

Palin blames the election loss on the Republican ticket becaue they ran up a 10 trillion dollar debt. I wonder what she was thinking when she ran up a bill for close to a quarter million dollars in clothing for herself.

The amount of $ 125,000.00 dollars was actually a low ball figure, since she spent close to double that. The amount was reduced by the McCain campaign to hide the truth about Sarah’s rather expensive tastes and her lack of concern about Republican campaign donations.

__________________________________________________________________
It appears that the Republican National Committee low balled the Palin spending spree on clothes, accessories, and the are privately very outraged at her largess.

Palin was advised by Nicolle Wallace a senior aide to buy several suits and hire a hair stylist for the convention. Palin decided to by her self and family clothes and goodies at Saks, and Neiman Marcus. Supposedly a very wealth Republican donor to the McCain Palin campaign was shocked when they received the bill.

Palin also summoned other Republican staffers to buy clothes on their own personal credit cards, and the campaign did not know this until the staffers wanted their money back.
Palin went hog wild and spent “tens of thousands of dollars” and it is much more than the
$ 150,000.00 which was earlier leaked to the media a week ago. Upon Palin’s return to Alaska some articles have gone missing and one aide said the spree was “Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast”.

The final tally will be available when the Republican Party audits its books. Also the Federal Election Committee should be investigating these expenses as the California Republican Party accused Barack Obama of using campaign funds for personal use when he visited his dying grandmother in Hawaii days before the 2008 Presidential Election.

Now days after the election, the RNC has sent a lawyer to Alaska to inventory and repossess the clothing she still kept from the campaign. See: LA Times

Post Election comments are now reversing Palins’ initial statement that Ted Stevens who was convicted of seven counts of what amounts to bribery should step down.
She now states that the people of Alaska spoke by voting and they want him as their senator.
It seems Palin supports the grabbing anything you can for yourself policy, that seems to prevail in Alaska politics and proves this by greedily grabbing all she could during the campaign for herself. New Information
