In today's news it was reported that the Republican National Committee has spent $150,000 outfitting Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
That does it. I'm throwing my hat (size 8 1/2) in the ring.
Palin has spent $50,000 at Saks and $75,000 at Neiman Marcus on pantsuits, etc. Another four grand has gone out for haircuts and makeup. Even by John Edwards' standards that's ten haircuts.
The RNC says it's all going to charity after the election. Cool! There's going to be some extremely well-dressed homeless people walking around provided they're a size 2 and like crimson, white and navy.
Apparently Todd and the kids also benefitted from the extreme makeover. Maybe the RNC should send Ty Pennington and the gang over to spruce up the house while they're at it.
I could really use some new clothes and my wife would be thrilled! Â There's no Neiman Marcus near us but there's a good selection of Carharts at Farm-Way, our local clothier.
I may not be all that well-dressed but I am totally qualified to lead. I can find Kazakhstan on a map, and I even know what the Bush Doctrine is. In fact, I have my own doctrine, too:
Never run for high public office if there's somebody on SNL who looks like you.

1. Declare my candidacy
2. Accept the $150,000 in designer clothes
3. Lose
4. Sell the clothes on ebay
5. Pay off my mortgage thus lessening the global credit crisis. At least my part.
Being in the television industry, I know the costs in this are comparable to what is spent on top TV anchors' clothing and make-up. Palin probably didn't have the clothing in her closet for something like this--most women wouldn't. It's a pretty pathetic and desperate thing to criticize someone about--I'm sure if she came out in regular clothing you'd be criticizing her over that as well. It doesn't matter if you don't like her anyway--you just keep looking for something.
Your plan is sound.
Even though it is obvious that your wit and reasonable nature would probably carry you on eagle's wings to the highest offices in the land, you would be defeated. Face it, who would vote for a guy with that kind of tailor's bill?

I just wish you'd had your shot at the job. Can you actually play that guitar? (Did my tax dollars pay for it?)
