More Palinfreude: RNC Lawyers to Go After Sarah

Another awesome view of Palin’s shopping spree debacle; apparently the Republicans were shocked that she spent that much when she was only supposed to buy a few new suits. From the New York Times:

On Wednesday, two top McCain campaign advisers said that the clothing purchases for Ms. Palin and her family were a particular source of outrage for them. As they portrayed it, Ms. Palin had been advised by Nicolle Wallace, a senior McCain aide, that she should buy three new suits for the Republican National Convention in St. Paul in September and three additional suits for the fall campaign. The budget for the clothes was anticipated to be from $20,000 to $25,000, the officials said.

Instead, in a public relations debacle undermining Ms. Palin’s image as an everywoman “hockey mom,” bills came in to the Republican National Committee for about $150,000, including charges of $75,062 at Neiman Marcus and $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue. The bills included clothing for Ms. Palin’s family and purchases of shoes, luggage and jewelry, the advisers said.

The advisers described the McCain campaign as incredulous about the shopping spree and said Republican National Committee lawyers were likely to go to Alaska to conduct an inventory and try to account for all that was spent.

Wow, only two days after the end of the campaigns and already we’re being inundated with all this juicy and funny background on Palin that nobody was allowed to talk about during the campaigns. How much awesomeness will we be buried under in another few months? I can’t wait…
