Terrific!
And to think, I was upset with my wife's recent clothes shopping spree that cost over $300!

I got such deep, Schadenfreudesque satisfaction out of HuffPo's photo slideshow this morning, the last photo of which was Palin pre-spree in her god-awfully tacky pink 80s-throwback nightmare and knee-high boots. She is the soul of tacky and this bullshit Cinderella narrative they've built around her with hard-earned Republican tax break cash is shameful. In the Real America, Sarah, the tacky don't get free makeovers on the taxpayer's dime. They have to compete for reality show slots to do that.

That was over-the-top GDA! Thank you, Mr. Stranahan, for your continued GDA-ness!

Was this RNC money or McCain's cash. He's using public financing, right?

Make your own rally sign. totally legit McCain site. I will warn you that when I tried for Sarah the Shopaholic or George the Retarded Chimp, I did not get my rally sign emailed to me. :-( Please pass it on and have some fun with it, at least we will keep the hall monitors busy.

Thanks, thea2b! I made myself a sign that says "I AM A BILLIONAIRE - THE INVESTMENT "ANALYST" - DON'T TAX ME FOR WORKING HARD"

I felt it was worth losing some sleep to get this video cranked out last night - it's such a clear example of the phoniness and hypocrisy of McCain / Palin - please help spread it around!

The ironic thing is that if the Republicans hadn't raised hell about the expensive hair stylings of Edwards & the Clintons, this probably wouldn't be as big of a deal.
It does reveal part of their intent though. "Let's invest dough to make sure Palin looks hot." - Kinda fits in with all the vacuous beauty queens working at Fox News, doesn't it?

A friend just e-mailed me: They should have spent the time and money on her speech, in the manner of Professor Higgins working on Eliza Doolittle, though Palin may not be that educable.

@Thea, I have yet to receive my "Sarah the Bleating Sheep" sign, but I had a rollicking good time trying.

Good one! Shame about the misspelling of 'receipt', though.
