Now the Obamunist media is upset over the shopping spree the RNC sent the Palin family on soon after John McCain named Alaska’s governor as his running mate. The talking heads among them won’t dare mention that their own fancy threads are freebies, btw.

My search engine was unable to find a price tag for Sen. Obama’s Hartmarx suits and Michelle’s Maria Pinto dresses for their DNC convention appearances. Suits similar to the ones made for BHO go for $1,500 off the rack, but these were custom-made threads, not off the rack fare. Custom-tailored suits can easily ring up at $5,000 each or more. The Burberry suits that make up the bulk of Obama’s wardrobe start at about $900 per.

Look, $150K to outfit 6 people for critical public appearances is roughly the cost of three of those Chevy Suburbans the campaigns love to use to populate their motorcades. If the RNC had not invested heavily in clothing for the Palin clan to stand in front of the TV cameras and crowds, the elitist media would have decried the Palins for looking like the Clampetts. They would have sniffed, “Somebody buy them some nice clothes!”

Well, somebody did. That somebody was the RNC, and they paid the bill with money which was freely given. After the campaign is over, all of the duds will be auctioned off for charity.

So where’s the beef? There isn’t any. The Obamunista running dogs just needed something different to bark at Sarah Palin about, that’s all.
