Elitist?

Well, Mrs. F doesn't shop in Saks:

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August.

According to financial disclosure records, the accessorizing began in early September and included bills from Saks Fifth Avenue in St. Louis and New York for a combined $49,425.74.

The records also document a couple of big-time shopping trips to Neiman Marcus in Minneapolis, including one $75,062.63 spree in early September.

The RNC also spent $4,716.49 on hair and makeup through September after reporting no such costs in August.

...


And I betcha if Michelle Obama dumped that kind of coin (at those 'East Coast Elitist' stores) on a new wardrobe, we'd never hear the end of it from the wingnuts.

Great thanks to Mr. Aravosis for the link.
