More Important Things to Focus On...

Information was pulled from recent financial disclosures stating the Republican National Committee has spent an estimated $150,000 on wardrobe and accessories for Sarah Palin and family. This amount was estimated once John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his running mate. The costs include clothes and accessories from stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and various hair and makeup stores. It was announced on Foxnews.com that around $50,000 was spent at Saks Fifth Avenue, $5,000 was spent on makeup accessories and hair items, and, last but not least, $75,000 was spent at Neiman Marcus.
After this information was released and the public got wind of the extravagant wardrobe purchases, Palin announced that they will not keep their clothes once the campaign is over; everything will go toward a charitable purpose once the campaign is over. Tracy Schmitt, the spokesperson for McCain and Palin, stated on behalf of the financial disclosures, “With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that we’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses. It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign.”
