Yup, that's right and The Atlantic has the story here (no word yet if Todd is jealous):

The attention from Jeanne Cummings’s much-talked-about Politico story has naturally focused on the $150,000 in luxury clothing purchased for Sarah Palin at Neiman Marcus, Sak’s Fifth Avenue, and Barney’s. What hasn’t yet gotten any attention is who bought it for her. But buried in the same FEC disclosure form that revealed Palin’s taste for the fine life is the name of the man who appears to have been her personal shopper: Jeff Larson.
Apparently the infamous master of Robo-calls that destroyed 2000 McCain and attempted unsuccessfully to denegrate Barack Obama in this election took Mrs. Palin on her extravagant shopping spree. His name is Jeff Larson. And he was reimbursed for all of his expenses at Barney's, Bloomingdales, Neimon Marcus, Atelier and Saks, of course.
Does the name Jeff Larson sound familiar? It should. Larson is the Karl Rove protégé who’s a principal in the robocalling firm of FLS Connect (the "FLS" stands for Tony Feather, Jeff Larson, and Tom Syndhorst, all veteran Republican political operatives). Larson’s firm is the same one that launched the scurrilous robocalls against John McCain in 2000, and that McCain has now hired to make robocalls connecting Barack Obama to Bill Ayers. He’s also well known in Minnesota for leasing his basement apartment at a steeply discounted rate to embattled Republican Senator Norm Coleman. Evidently, Larson also has quite the eye for women’s fashion. Even hateful liberals would have to admit that Palin dresses awfully nicely.
For those of you who like to get into the nitty and gritty, here is this little nugget.
Under FEC regulations, the RNC must file what is called a "Schedule F form," which lists "expenditures made by political committees or designated agents(s) on behalf of candidates for federal office." This is presumably the same document from which Cummings drew for her story. Here’s a blow-up of the RNC’s most recent Schedule F. I’ve circled the controversial purchases—and the apparent purchaser—in red magic marker.
Nugget:
As Joshua Green saliently points out, most campaign are diligent enough to hide such obviously conflictorial information by listing more obscure intities on spending reports. Not the McCain campaign.
