They will be inventoried, returned or accounted for in a timely fashion.

Perhaps the anonymous staffers of the McCain Campaign would like to explain why they thought Palin needed to be gussied up.

Seems counter to who she really was.

================================================
You seem to have a lot more faith in this happening than I do.
The election is over, this is a rather minor matter, and it seems somewhat likely that the "promise" someone, who may never have been given the authority to make such promises, will be honored.

As I said, auctioning off her garments as keepsakes would probably bring a profit for the GOP. Not that I would have any interest in buying them, but look what people were willing to pay for OJ's old threads. Look at what OJ was willing to do to get his old clothes back. Now it looks like he got a 5 years to life sentence for kidnapping some merchants that could most charitably described as opportunistic scumbags. Of course, OJ was a celebrity opportunistic scumbag himself.

Apparently old clothes of celebs is a big deal. Palin is certainly a celebrity, if nothing else.

I am happy to see her back at her job in Juneau, and wish her well at eliminating corruption from her icy domain. She really should refrain from plinking at wolves from aircraft, though, That is unfair and tacky.

The owner of the clothing is the RNC. Palin does not need to make promises for items which she doesn't own. Nor does she need to be held accountable for the ultimate disposal of said items.

Apparently it was not so minor, otherwise why did you post the story?

==========================
Possession , as they say, is nine-tenths of the law. Palin and Co. are in possession of said finery.

==================================
Because I thought that is was of interest, since the entire story of Palin's wardrobe malfunction was unposted. I have never made any promises to post only "IMPORTANT" issues, and many issues can be interesting without being important.

Since you must think that it is in fact, unimportant, why did you deign to comment upon it?


Clothes of celebrities, as of Palin & family and OJ Simpson, seem to have become a rather big deal. If one can get a life sentence for trying to get one's old jockstraps back or whatever, someone thinks that this is a really big deal.

My understanding is that Michelle Obama will be bring fashion back to the Whitehouse in such a manner as not seen since Jackie O.

Who is buying these clothes for her? Were they gifts, paid for from campaign funds, product placements?

Is the message of costly threads conflicting with the message of hope , care and shared sacrifice during hard times.

Apparently unnamed staffers of the McCain Campaign, fearful of a lack of gainful employment during the next election cycle have chosen the scapegoat for their ill conceived and erratic performance.


I agree.

The lipsticked pit bull hockeymom being really a greedy prima donna would be news anywhere but in the Grand Old Perv Party.


She bought some clothes and walked into her hotel room from the bathroom wearing a towel. This is not news. It's petty bitching.
