From an aesthetic standpoint, I must say that Sarah Palin's expenditures worked. She looks glamorous, soigne, natural. I had been noticing this before the story broke. I thought, For a hick, that girl sure knows how to put it together. Now we know. Everyone's saying that Joe Sixpack wouldn't spend that money on clothes, but then Joe Sixpack wouldn't welsh on a deal to take public funding then raise $150 million in September, corrupting the process. What's Obama spending his money on? How much of that is going into appearance? (And why does he drive round like a caudillo in a caravan of black SUVs?)
Also, for what it's worth, I know from the media business that some women magazine editors get clothing allowances. Lavish clothing allowances. Help me girls, what's that mean? How much do corporations spend in a similar endeavor? Andrea Mitchell was looking down her nose at Palin today on MSNBC. Andrea, hon, let's bitch and switch…
And no, I don't like it. But there is some hypocrisy and self-righteousness working in the Obama media. (Matt Drudge–link me please)
