William Who? Doodad What? Never Mind All That, Sarah Palin’s Got a New Outfit!

So the scandal du jour, fit for not just one but two articles in today’s New York Times (including one on the front page), is that the Republican National Committee shelled out $150,000 for clothing and other beautification amenities for Sarah Palin. Apparently, this is supposed to outrage me.

Color me less than entranced. I would much rather hear more about Larry Grathwohl. You don’t know who he is? Well, neither did I until I read this post by Stacy McCain. The relevant quote to pique your interest is “Eliminating 25 million people…and they were dead serious”.

But that’s not something the New York Times and their comrades in journalistic malpractice want to investigate. They’d rather find out how much Sarah Palin’s underwear costs. They’d prefer to send a platoon of reporters to Wasilla to learn the stunning truth of Sarah Palin’s tanning bed. They’d rather do anything except investigate why nearly every single one of the people Barack Obama has chosen to work with closely over the past 15 years or so are bitter, dangerous radicals who have never once been heard to profess unabashed love for America. They’ve yet to enquire as to why, exactly both of Barack Obama’s spokesmen have plainly lied about his ties to Ayers. And no, I don’t mean lied in the “Bush lied” sense of the word. I mean lied in the sense that they said one thing was not true when there is actual physical evidence that it is true.

I’ve yet to see a major MSM outlet giving prominent ink to asking who “Doodad Pro” and “Good Will” are. I don’t think you’ll learn thatJohn Galt of Ayn Rand Lane was able to successfully contribute to the Barack Obama campaign but not to John McCain’s.

I entirely agree with Lisa Schiffren on the clothing matter. I guarantee you, if Governor Palin had been hitting her campaign stops dressed in outfits from Target or T.J. Maxx, the front page of the Times would be telling us how dowdy she is and how she needs some sort of “image makeover” to befit her position as a politician of national stature.

Instead, the RNC wisely spent some of its cash to help her out. Good for the RNC, I say. It was a smart move and the scoffers on the left are asses for making a big deal of this. Furthermore, they’re hypocrites who scold a Republican woman for upgrading her image while ignoring the vanities of their own side.

It’s like they expect her to show up in mukluks, a flannel shirt, and insulated overalls with dried moose blood under her fingernails and a strand of polar bear teeth strung around her neck. I’m glad that she continues to astound the elists twits.

UPDATE: Jim Treacher finds that all of Sarah Palin’s outfits cost a scant ten grand more than the Barack Obama’s DNC speech set. And he only used them once. Palin, at least, is getting plenty of use out of her outfits, considering that she’s made herself available to the media more this month than both Obama and Biden combined.
