Jeanne Cummings of Politico reports that Sarah Palin’s signature wardrobe has apparently been purchased by the Republican National Committee. The bill for late August and September: $150,000.
The RNC’s September statement of expenses includes a $75,062.63 Palin shopping spree at Neiman Marcus and a $4,716.49 bill for hair and makeup.
So much for Mrs. Populist Hockey Mom.

WB: Think the DNC went to Wal-Mart and bought Obama’s threads for him?
BTW, buying togs for a candidate may be illegal — see The Atlantic — http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/10/a_legal_issue_with_palin_coutu.php

Palin’s shopping list: $150,000 well spent?
* Saks Fifth Avenue: $49,425.74.
* Neiman Marcus: $75,062.63
* Macy’s: $9,447.71
* Barneys New York: $789.72
* Bloomingdales: $5,102.71
* Hair and make-up: $4,716.49
Expenditure comes to more than $150,000. That’s $2,500 every day. Or four times the salary of your average ‘Joe the plumber’
