If it weren't so hippocritical she could probably get away with it. But, this is typical Republican Welfare and I don't buy it for one minute that if she were ever to be elected all the clothes would go for a charity auction.
She defined herself as 'folksy. One of the little people. Then she turned right around and dresses like she owns the dress shop. Who was that actress? She went to the Academy Awards wearing a white t-shirt from The Gap. Sorry, it was a black t-shirt. Sharon Stone (click here). There is something to be said about 'Being Brave' and Sharon Stone was exactly that. She took the opportunity to be 'in the spot light' with a simple t-shirt from The Gap and who knew? Sharon could get away with anything and look great.
The Republicans are playing 'the glamour' card and they are trying to 'display' Palin as a women in control. In control of her family, her career and her money. When in fact the money isn't her money. It belongs to those "Joe the Plumber" folks and Hockey Moms that send the RNC $100 or $25 on campaign stops. It's outrageous. It simply is exactly that.
If the clothing were paid for by her it would even be a different discussion, but, it is paid for by contributions from people that donate to their campaign. I don't care if Republicans think its great she looks like the ultimate Republican Barbie Doll, it is a matter of principle. But, alas, if Republicans had principle we won't be looking to spending billions upon billions on illegal wars and bank bailouts.
