Only Twelve More Days....

Until this ridiculous election is over! The Republicans are pulling out all the stops, creating a cast of inane characters like something you might find in a particularly banal (and somewhat racist) childrens book (Joe The Plumber, Rose The Teacher, Eddy the Dairyman).

While GOP Hypocrisy should never surprise, this revelation, caused my eyebrows to raise even further than they have previously (I think I might need surgery to fix them): It seems that the RNC has spent $150,000 at places like Saks and Neiman-Marcus to dress up the Palins and their various hanger-ons.

Now, while I am no fashion maven, I come from a long line of clothes horses, and I can tell you this - you can take trash to Bergdorf-Goodman and dress them up like class, but you still got trash. And that's what the Palins are: A-1, purebred country trash. Prior to this little adventure, I'm sure their idea of fashion was the ladies department at Wal-Mart. For "fancy dress", maybe a trip to Macy's. (Which reminds me: Wherever will they get a maternity formal for the Christmas Dance at Wasilla high? Or perhaps that's a hot item in Wasilla))

I suspect the GOP know this, otherwise, why would they have selected Saks and Neiman-Marcus? If they really believe in the Palins, they would have sprung for couture.
