Palin talks clothes at length
Jonathan Martin's Blog —
Recognizing the clothes kerfuffle still has legs and is damaging her politically Sarah Palin used the start of a rally today to offer her most extended defense of the clothes bought for her last month.
Palin, speaking in Tampa, she would not keep the pricey outfits and wasn't even sporting them anymore.
"I'm back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska," she noted.
Palin also used the issue to shift attention to her blue collar roots and son's military service, noting her inexpensive earrings, wedding ring and Blue Star lapel pin.
She cited a ...

Video: Palin talks clothes posted at 4:58 pm on October 26, 2008 by Allahpundit Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Jonathan Martin wonders why she’d broach this subject, thereby keeping it alive for another news cycle. The likely answer, per his colleague : Because she had nothing to do with the RNC clothes purchases and is boiling about what it’s done to her image. [T]he final straw for Palin and her allies was the news that the campaign had reported spending $150,000 on her clothes, turning her, again, into the butt of late-night humor.“She never even set foot in these stores,” the senior Republican said, noting Palin hadn’t ...

"Sassy" Hasselbeck: Criticism Of Palin's Clothing Expenditures Is "Deliberately Sexist" (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed —
At a Sarah Palin rally in Tampa, Florida today, "The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck slammed media coverage of the $150,000 in Republican National Committee expenditures on high-end clothing for Palin.
"Now, with everything going on in the world, seems a bit odd," Hasselbeck said. "But let me tell you, this is deliberately sexist."
In a moment of unintended irony, an audience member cat-called Hasselbeck with a whistle in the seconds after she made the comment.
Hasselbeck, describing herself as "sassy," then added that she was "most impressed by her accessories," including an American flag pin in honor of Palin's son, Track, who ...

Bad Puns Palin Comparison
The Democratic Daily —
I can’t possibly keep up with all the weaselly smears that the GOPpers are throwing out this week. I’m certain they run the gamut from “Obama is a Space Alien!” to “The Democrats will confiscate your children AND your money.” (And its corollary: “The Liberals want to have sex with your dog!” Don’t laugh, that’s essentially what the former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum said a few years back.)
So, let me give you a lens through which to view the lies, remembering that a party addicted to lies AND desperate to salvage anything from an election in which their ...
Sarah Palin and Elisabeth Hasselbeck double-team Florida audience
Top of the Ticket —
As The Ticket reported last week, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, one of the star hosts on ABC's "The View," campaigned in Florida Sunday for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee.
And the TV hostess boasted that for a change she finally got to talk for five minutes without being interrupted by her co-hosts who appear to be supporting the other fellow. (Actually, Hasselbeck talked for more like nine minutes, but there was a lot of applause from the enthusiastic Tampa audience.)
We'll just let you see for yourself what Hasselbeck said, so ...
Palin and Hasselbeck on the "Clothes Thing"
Weekly Standard Blog —
At a rally in Tampa, Florida, yesterday Sarah Palin addressed the RNC's purchase of expensive clothes and accessories for her:
"Those clothes, they are not my property. Just like the lighting and the staging and everything else that the RNC purchased, I'm not taking them with me. I am back to wearing my own clothes from my favorite consignment shop in Anchorage, Alaska. You'd think — not that I would even have to address the issue because, as Elisabeth is suggesting, the double standard here it's — gosh, we don't even want to waste our time."

Palin/Hasselbeck in Aught-Twelve?
Politics Daily —
Filed under: Republicans, Sarah PalinElisabeth Hasselbeck, co-star of The View and 3rd runner-up on Survivor, has hit the stump with Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, and I think I see the makings of the next GOP political dynasty. She had me behind her all the way with her stand on honor killings (anti), but I clapped a little softer when she declared open season on baby boys. She won me back, though, when she said she was a working mom. How she manages a job, on top of "The View," is beyond me. Already adept at Palin-style politics, she immediately lies about Barack Obama on the issue of equal pay, while her ...
