Wasilla Hillbillies to be Audited by GOP

"Newsweek reports that Palin spent far more than the previously reported U$150,000 on clothes for herself and her family.

Several publications say she irked the McCain campaign by asking to make her own concession speech on election night.

The tension is likely to continue or get worse. Lawyers for the Republican National Committee are heading to Alaska to try to account for all the money that was spent on clothing, jewelry and luggage, according to The New York Times."

1. LOL - guess they don't like the monster they created!

19. VET next time

I hope she keeps all the clothes and ask for more. They JM campaign used her. No they tried to mold her but First Dude wasn't having any that! Next time VET. LOL

2. Republic priorities

bush is wasting billions a month in Iraq and we get this big show about right wing bling. Yeah, gop we are laughing at you.

16. GOP lawyers

OK, but this is GOP lawyers, not government lawyers. This is an internal GOP fight at this point. So I think this is a little bit differant and unfair to compare to the war.

[BOSSHOG]

20. I don't think its unfair at all

GOP lawyers working for the RNC which is a political organization. The bush administration has been only politics, not government. Its a clear indication of their priorities and their values.

22. ...

Ok, so the GOP lawyers are supposed to be doing something about the war?

It's there money, if they want to waste it with an internal battle, let them. Less money they have to spend on other things.

3. Film at eleven?

4. A certain faction is cutting her off at the knees.

Probably a pro-Romney group.

[YOY]

5. It's like watching a runner up beauty queen tear her sequined gown to shreds in rage.

And she won't stop until she's standing naked, face covered with smeared mascara and body scratched by now-chipped manicured nails, huffing and puffing and sobbing in front of a crowd half-aghast and half-amused at the train wreck before them.

6. Ummm, calling them hillbillies

is kind-of an insult to those of us who really are. *I* am a true hillbilly, born and raised in Appalachia, Democrat through-and-through as most true hillbillies are. I was fully 18 years old before I knew the word "republican" didn't start with g--d-mn.

The Palins are just trash. Or as we say it, "trysh" :D

Not flamin', by any stretch. Just sayin'.

[Taverner]

10. I'm sorry - but that quoteable was just SO COOL SOUNDING

[RedLetterRev]

11. No real offense taken!

Just sayin'. Oo, I do love the image, though. The only thing missing would be SP jumping up and down on her wig through the sobs :rofl:

7. Todd'll be all, "Fuck! But I like silk underwear!! Hope I don't have to giv'em back."

:cry: -------------------->:spray:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

8. Must be disappointing to the Palins

Now they'll have to be content with running petty con jobs in the confines of Alaska, like getting a house built for free and billing the state for travel expenses for the entire family.

9. The GOP Overlords repossessing the Wasilla Hillbillies' clothes is too rich!!

It just doesn't get any better than this, if hating the GOP is your favorite hobby, as it is mine.

[malaise]

13. I'm lovin' it

Bring it on :popcorn: :rofl:

[TexasObserver]

14. I don't even feel guilty about it!!

To paraphrase Clinton Eastwood from Unforgiven, "they've all got it coming!"

[malaise]

17. Guilty?

Is that a new brand of chocolates? Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Can't wait 'til she opens her mouth again on Monday. :popcorn: :rofl:

[charlie]

12. The GOP going after her for stealing everything that wasn't nailed down

is like the Pope shooting nuns.

Seriously, you dumb Republicans, you're going to bag her for THAT? You should make her the GOP Star of the Year for her Republican pluck and initiative.

[gratuitous]

15. To be fair and honest

Could any Republican have possibly foreseen that another Republican would rip off the party so boldly? This gang probably is surprised by winter coming on every year. "Oh no, it's getting cold again! What happened to global warming? Why did I sell off all my coats and sweaters?"

18. You know what?

If McCain had bothered to ask anyone in Alaska, he would have known that Sarah has a long history of sticking a shiv in the backs of fellow Republicans, which explains why pre-VP, she was more popular in Alaska with the Democrats and Independents than she was with the old-guard party people. Just ask Lida Green about that.

She had kept her right-wing religious nuttiness to herself as governor ... for which I always gave her credit. It certainly blossomed out on the national stage though.

I don't feel sorry for McCain ... he was an idiot.

[gratuitous]

24. Maybe "vetting" isn't all it's cracked up to be

After all, weren't we the public assured over and over again that the McCain campaign had thoroughly vetted Mrs. Palin and thought she was the best possible candidate to be McCain's running mate? That was, to be sure, a load of bushwah on its face; the campaign knew it, and the relay messengers in the popular media knew it.

What really irks me is that, once the truth started leaking out around the edges of this shit sandwich, the stalwart bulldogs of the Fourth Estate continued to carry the lie that Sarah Palin was exactly as she wanted to be presented, that she had more “executive” experience than any of the other candidates (even their combined experience!), and that there was nothing to raise an eyebrow about her or her kooky menagerie of a family trailing along behind her. Surely there was nothing to be alarmed about. After all, what could possibly go wrong with a bright, energetic, steely-eyed true believer being just one failed heartbeat from an enfeebled 72-year-old away from the Oval Office?

These fuckers knew what kind of train wreck was that close to getting its fanatic mitts on the levers of power, and yet they played along with the whole charade. Blame Palin for being exactly what she was? Well some, I guess. Blame McCain for choosing her and putting her dangerously close to the White House. You bet. But the lion’s share of my vitriol is going to be reserved for the media chuckleheads who had a pretty good idea all along what sort of poison was creeping toward the very heart of our country and yet remained mum about it all. As I said, the truth was leaking out, but the media kept up the little dumbshow as if it was all a big game.

21. Well, Wasilla is getting a Target soon
