A Small Town Girl

Apparently, the RNC has spent over $150,000 "to clothe and accessorize" Sarah Palin and her family. Andrew Sullivan: "$5 grand for hair styling and make-up? As Americans face a depression?"

My own two cents is that spending that much even though Americans are facing a depression isn't necessarily bad. In fact, it's probably better for the economy if those who can afford to spend money did so to keep some money flowing through the system. However, it would probably be better for McCain if she didn't do this a) while the campaign has made an issue of their opponent wanting to spend other people's money and b) she insinuated that being rich made you an elite and somehow evil. This makes it seem as though she isn't being truthful with the American people about who she really is.
