and I find it amusing (and a little bit sad) that those who are screaming at Palin's $150k clothing bill and make up artist 22k per week salary are not inclined to scream about a $2,000,000 party.
As for Dana's comment on the Obama campaign spending Obama's campaign money, cannot the same be said for Palin's wardrobe? Or is it possible that Obama gets to play by a different set of rules because he lied about using public funding for his campaign? Or maybe just because its Obama its OK? McCain is not my 'boy'. I just find his proposals only slightly more tolerable than Obama's. Its kind of fun being in the middle as we can rationally look at both sides and not feel like we are betraying anyone.
