Sarah Palin gets her knickers in a twist

HERE’S  one that’ll brighten your day … Sarah Palin, the fundie extremist who proved such an albatross around the Republican’s neck in the run-up to the US Presidential election, has spent a frantic weekend sifting through her wardrobe to find stuff that that belongs to the party.

Sarah Palin, back to obscurity ... we hope!

Alaska’s governor went on a $150,000 + spending spree before the election to prettify herself for her hoped-for role as Vice President, but now she has to return much of the gear.

It’s enough to make a grown woman blub – so, all together now … awww!

Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, said his daughter spent Saturday trying to figure out what’s hers, and what belongs to the RNC.

She was just frantically … trying to sort stuff out. That’s the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for. Nothing goes right back to normal.

Palin and John McCain’s campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee. Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.

According to this report, RNC lawyers have been discussing with Palin whether what’s left of the clothing and accessories will go to charity, back to stores or be paid for by Palin.

The McCain-Palin campaign said about a third of the clothing was returned immediately because it was the wrong size, or for other reasons. However, other purchases were apparently made after that, the campaign official said.

Last week Palin told reporters:

Those are the RNC’s clothes. They’re not my clothes. I never forced anybody to buy anything.
