So Who Did Buy Those $150,000 Worth Of Clothes? Watch Out For The Circular Firing Squad!
By Nicole Belle Tuesday Oct 28, 2008 11:00amI swear, this is the best Republican circular firing squad evah!
According to Sarah Palin, it was the RNC
According to the RNC, it was the McCain campaign
And Fred Barnes throws consultant Nicole Wallace under the Straight Talk Express and says it was her.
Unsurprisingly, now it's suspected that Nicole Wallace is the "unnamed McCain campaign worker" feeding the media all the stories about the diva-like behavior of Sarah Palin. Rachel Maddow talks about the McCain campaign meltdown:
It is just too schadenfreude-licious

You'd think they'd be better at it by now.
Does this story really matter? I mean come on, clothes? Regardless, it was bought with campaign donations, at least that is something everyone agrees on, everyone also agrees some of it will be returned and the rest will be given to charity.
I really must ask what this story has to do with issues and the election....
Kind of like people saying Ayers, Wright, etc...are not legitimate issues, clothes definitely isn't. If she were to wear LL Bean clothes and other things like that, she would get criticized for dressing plainly, just like she gets criticized for talking plainly.
Or our resident concern troll wouldn't have commented. Thanks for the heads up.
John doesn't get it.
It's not about the clothes.
It's about the sheer incompetence, disloyalty and infighting among the gang of crooks and liars that is the Republican party.
Oh I get it alright, what is good for the goose is only good for the goose..
How dare people bring up associations, views, and anything negative about Obama..RIGHT? We all know everything that has been said is false, RIGHT?
But let us talk about clothes :)
Who exactly will buy those designer clothes. Will they be given away to poor people? I can just see a homeless woman in that Michael Jackson leather jacket and those knee length prostitute boots. No, it will go to a designer consignment store and be sold for a huge amount of money. Btw has she been wearing any thing new, or recycling the same outfits?
Take $150,000 worth of clothes off Sarah and you'll see the real Sarah.
Not just hear her yap yap.
It will be wonderful to not have to look at that lying bitch Nicolle Wallace on the tubes much longer, but I would pay them to stop having that skeletal Nancy Pfotenhauer - with her fake smile on the air NOW. Honestly, the more she lies, the more she smiles.
It's freakin' me out, man. ;-)
What do you have left after everyone is thrown under the bus?
Paradise?
bot, would i love to be driving that bus!!
how will this affect the "obama show" on wednesday, or will it?
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - After rain caused the first suspended game in World Series history on Monday night, a wintry mix of snow and rain on Tuesday caused the remainder of the game, scheduled to resume on Tuesday night, to be postponed until Wednesday night at 8:37 (et).
http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.as...
There was already a game that was supposed to be televised that day and Fox and MLB both said they would push back the start of the game to accommodate Obama
i wonder how long until somebody at redstate writes a story blaming obama?
Clinton and his nasty penis.
Want some FUN!!!!!!!???????????
.
.
.
.............PLAY ALL THE VIDEOS AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!

I did that and almost fell off my chair. Woooo!
...it sounded like a typical O'Reilly Factor interview.
I can't believe they haven't blamed Bill Clinton yet. They blame him for everything else.
But seriously...this is just further proof that McCain would be just like Bush if he were Prez. Passing the buck. What ever happened to Harry Truman's "The Buck Stops Here"? Oh yeah. He was a Dem. In spite of alltheir rhetoric Repukes NEVER take responsibility for their mistakes.
Long live Kim-Jong Palin! Long live!
That's a good one.
that once this forever-and-ever election cycle is over, we permanently retire:
- Thrown under the bus
- Mendacity
- Joe the Plumber
- Most Liberal (fill in the blank - in Congress, ever, since the last most liberal)
- Socialist
I wish I could remember all the ones I want banned forever. I think I have done an internal brain block, which is only brought to the surface when I hear it on the teevees...and I shudder and scream at the tube every time.
Look. The punditry is really pissing me off with it.
As in, "Is seems the McSame campaign has thrown Joe the plumber under the bus. But, look ,Obama is the the most liberal Senator EVER plus he's a Socialist to boot".
"my friends"? I go running for the tequila bottle every time I hear that and my liver can't take much more!
sarah Palin's behavior/response to this clothing(gate) is NOT suprising. Palin could have said NO i won't
wear those clothes it's NOT me. Palin made the choice to wear them in all her glory. from my reading and a few interviews of government officials in alaska sarah Palin is a difficult person to work with. it's sarah Palin's way or the highway. sarah Palin is very much like 'W" not a intellect but smart enough to think from the gut. will see what Palin does regarding senator ted Stevens.
Get in touch with wardrobe over at Hustler video, make a deal.
There are bound to be sequels and the actress does wear clothes for at least the first few minutes.
Here's a clip of Palin at a rally wearing a really sharp brown boucle number, maybe from St. John's or Ungaro for a cool $4,000. They're filming her from down low so when she stretches up you can get a little glimpse of some Sarah Palin flesh around her waist area. Sweet.
But the most interesting part of the clip is her answer to the question: "Do you think we need a new investigation into 9/11?", and she enthusiastically exclaims, "I DO!!!"
Well! We remember the hot water that got poor Ron Paul in now don't we? At one of the earlier debates the dweeb from Faux News asked Ron Paul, "You have many of the so-called "9/11 Truthers" supporting you. Will you denounce them right now, sir?"
I'd really like to see Chris Matthews and Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper corner the Bachman's and all the other McCain/Palin surrogates to show them this clip and say, "Do you agree with Sarah Palin that we need a new investigation into 9/11?" Ha!!!!!!
Here's the clip:

This makes her "off message" crack about the fact that she's now back to wearing her own "Out of the Closet" wardrobe seem trivial IMO.
Could you PLEASE post a warning from now on when you link to a video of palin? Something like "WARNING: This video contains the voice of Sara Palin." It would be much appreciated...Now, where's that bottle of Ibuprophen.
I LMAO when hear the Republican party calling this stupid, annoying woman the future face of the Republican party.
I want to know why all the jerks who were complaining about Hillary's voice during the primaries have'nt said squat about Palin's grating, nasal twang. Tweety? Carlson? Anybody?
"schadenfreude-licious"
Sounds decadent!
Unfortunately they don't shoot to kill in those GOP circular firing squads. They only graze each other and get back up again.
Actually the GOP is populated by zombies, so regulary bullets won't kill them. You have to kill them and hack the heads off.
(that was a joke for all you NSA and FBI types)
Has anyone ever checked out the claim that "Taaaahd" Palin's mother is an Eskimo? I heard he is 1/8 Eskimo (Sarah Palin uses the term "Eskimo"), which would make his mother 1/4 Eskimo.
Which is ridiculous considering they're really called Inuit. Any idiot living north of the 49th parallel knows that.
People are actually voting for that team. I'm stunned. Just. WOW.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I can look back at the last 8 years and understand.
It's almost as if they are purposely derailing their own campaign.
"Torpedo-----Los!" And the USS MCampaign takes another hit!
I don't know if I can take this much fun! It's like taking a time machine in 1942 and seeing the "Kaga", "Hiryu" and "Soryu" burning in the water off Midway.
I would ask you to consider offering unembedded links to these videos. It is getting to virtually impossible to get any videos to work properly no matter what browser I use or how many times I clear cache. The only way I can get these to work is to strip the embed from the link and then copy and paste it into a newly opened browser. Then it works perfectly but the process is a giant pain in the butt.
This is one reason I LOVE Crooks and Liars.
Just show the stupidity and the lies, with little editorial comment.
Somewhere in their own words is the truth... even when they try so hard to hide it.
Three cheers, JA!
They can't even do a good job lying! It's so clear that Sarah Palin is LIAR. SHe doesn't even have enough sense to lie about things so she won't get caught.
Then there's poor old McCain.... Heaven help us if the republicans cheat so well these two loosers win.
For all the things I have said and thought about Sarah Palin, I could settle on just this one, because it leaves a much less bitter taste in my mouth and I can just feel sort of nonplussed by her:
Palin is kind of a giant...goober. Y'know?
I'm sorry...I just have to post my emotions! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Who did it? He did! No...SHE DID! NOOO...THEY DID...NOOO YOU DID!!
LOLOLOLOL Ohhhhgawwwwwwwd LOLOLOL
I TOLD you it was gonna be fun!!!
hey is someone over at crooks and liars reading my blog. I was allover using the word schadenfreude just a couple of days ago. sure i was talking about soemthing completely different, i just wanted some props on getting that word out on the zeitgiest!
Actually, I lived in Europe for two years and took German lessons while there. I've used schadenfreude a few times on C&L before.
But you get props for using my all-time favorite foreign word. :)
If someone is going out to buy 150,000 dollars worth of clothing for a running mate wouldn't they need her measurements? Wouldn't she have at some time had to tell someone her shoe size, dress size, etc?
Why won't someone ask her the obvious?
TPM: "Hey, Sarah?"
"Whatcha need there, poetryman?"
TPM: "I need to know what size your feet are? Also your dress size, and your head size?"
"Oh my, but that's a lot a questions there, tpm. I'll be happy to ask Todd when I see him later tonight and get back with ya!"
TPM: "You don't know your own shoe and dress sizes?"
SARAH: "Hey! You try squeezin' a seven pound fleshy brat out of you `n see if your size don't go up `n down like the Maverick's blood pressure every time I make a speech ya commie, socialist, lefty, Marxist terrorist!"
TPM: "I'll do that if you'll try squeezing out one rational thought of your own sometime."
SARAH: "Okay. Sure. Ya betcha, but first I gotta keep tellin' the fine people of America till I'm blue in the face that Barack is a Muslim and pals around with terrorists."
The McCain campaign and their supporters are so discombobulated. When Palin herself spends all of that time talking about clothes and blames the RNC, and when Fred Barnes talks about clothes like this, you know they have nothing better to talk about!
Love the woman in the back behind McSame. Classic!!
Well... they DID try to paint the media as biased again for making a big deal about this. But all the RNC wanted to do is to put lipstick on a pig!!
...the only thing the RNC could possibly pull off is putting piglips on a stick...
so if u are allowed to call a woman a pig
i suppose i could use whatever racial slur i choose to throw at a black man??
i guess i have some respect for the dignity of all people though, haha and im not even against prop 8
but seriouslly ur flipping out about the 150k palin spent on clothes and not giving a crap about the 2 million obama spent on his victory party
tsk tsk
now i really feel as though the pots calling the kettle black
the 150k that someone spent on clothes for Palin. She certainly didn't buy them herself, as your post seems to say.
Obama has had a "victory party" already? When?
that is my point he had already spent the money when the election was a few weeks off,
and by the way i misspoke he actually has spent 20 million of the fundraising money for his "party"
all figures i have found come from the NY times
Sheesh. "Putting lipstick on a pig" is a BUCKING METAPHORICAL EXPRESSION! It has NOTHING to do with calling women pigs, UNLESS you watch FOX news of course. If that's the case, then God help you.
It seems from everything I have seen that to run for office on the republican party ticket you have to first.
Forget about honesty, integrity, intelligence, and then be willing to say whatever someone that never had any honesty, integrity, and intelligence tells you to say.
Is it worth it to become president if you have to give up your soul to get there?
Ask john mcsame!
dopnt forget u need to take every lie, discrimination and straight out hate from the liberals yes
Please, please, please, learn to spell and use punctuation if you are going to be posting. Trying to decipher your posts is almost as sickening as the last 8 years have been.
Nobody is going to pay attention to someone that uses text language to get their point across. Grow up and come back in four years.
Notice how Republican trolls can't spell for shit? They must have some kind of reverse IQ test for Republican membership. Score higher than 90 and you're some kind of "edyoocated elite librul pinko commie socialist"
is how people have so much time on their hands. I mean, if they are true republicans, shouldn't they be out there working their white collar jobs and hording the money they make?
Since us liberals (said in best sneer) are poor, uneducated, lazy, baby making machines that work at BK and want a piece of their pie, isn't being here beneath them? We like to horde together to sling mud at Holy John. Why would they want to come here? Isn't being here making them susceptible to our "disease"?

they could have saved a lot of money and done the McCain/Palin campaign a huge service if they'd skipped the clothes and used just a little of that money to buy Palin a couple of magazine and newspaper subscriptions. And hired someone to read them to her,of course. I believe The Economist has an online audio version for the sight impaired. I'm not sure what you can do for the neuronically challenged.
Mark McKinnon is the second right-winger today, the first was a guest on the Ron Kuby talk show, who has shown adultlike and gracious behavior in a left-leaning venue. I think the McCain campaign's biggest blunder was deciding to wear the dirty diapers and act like a bunch of babies who just had their binkies taken from them. I actually felt rather comforted that not everyone on "the other side" are maniacal mud-slinging hateful beasts with thorns in both feet.
C&L must update this hilarious story.
Tonight, Fred Barnes on Faux apologized for accusing Wallace of buying the clothes. He took it all back.
It's clear what is happening. Barnes & Kristol, etc., as the people who first touted Palin, are in tight with Palin and her faction. The Palin faction suspected Wallace, who was assigned as Palin's minder, and fed ol' Fred the accusation. Now Fred looks stupid. Will Fred see that the Palin faction are characters out of a shabby Alaskan soap opera? Will Fred report whose personal credit card the RNC billed the clothes to, a fact long known?
Tune in tomorrow for As the Wingnuts Turn!
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-storie...
From Nicholle Wallace:
Something is going on, all right. Wasilla Wingnuts in tight with the Weakly Standard crowd.
is the credit limit on that card? I mean, if Wallace bought the clothes without the knowledge of the RNC or McCain Camp, her credit card limit must be higher than most blue collars make in 10 years.
(snicker) I'd like to see that explained.
She magically knew the clothes sizes of Sarah, Todd, Bristol, Willow and Piper.
Thats one clever GOP staffer.
Does McCain even know what he's saying to his audience? Does he read his stump speeches before he goes to the podium to deliver them?
He says "We both disagree with President Bush on economic policy, the difference is, he thinks taxes are too low, and I think, (awkward pause, and change in emphasis) I think that spending has been too high." His campaign is desperate to dislink themselves from the Bush administration, and this is the best they can do? McCain cannot even deliver his lines. PATHETIC.
I'm sorry the vapid ladies at my office dont sound like the "brave Palin ladies" they pretend to be.
you see those witches care very much how much the wedding ring cost. whenever a coworker announces their wedding to the office, the first question is "when is the wedding", the second "let me see your ring", then they all descend on the break room to discuss how much they think the ring cost.
and did i hear it correctly. her douchebag husband didnt even by her a ring?
CLASS PERSONIFIED!
The McCain campaign is a Joke, no new ideas, no message, just a bunch of smears and republican crapy old ideas, what is the point of this man's campaign, he is just running for president to feed his little dick ego, HIS SO CALLED PLAN ON HEALTH CARE SHOULD FRIGHTEN YOU ENOUGH NOT TO VOTE FOR HIM, SCARY, SEEMS LIKE HE WANTS TO DO AWAY WITH EMPLOWER BASED HEALTH CARE, ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?, THIS GUY IS A JOKE
