It's all coming out in the wash. Or, as Six3Mafia so eloquently put it "there's a whole lotta bitches jumpin' ship."
When all is said and done, I suspect Sarah Palin will go the way of "Puck" from the Real World. Remember Puck from the Real World? Well, it could be that I'm telling my age, but for those of you who weren't around at the time, Puck is the world's most famous ROOMMATE FROM HELL from the Real World San Francisco house (sometime back in the 1990s). He was repulsive, gross, disgusting, abrasive, annoying and ultimately was booted from the house.
Fast forward to 2008- I don't believe that even the rightest of DC right-wingers -- the right-wing Republicans with their Capital Grill steaks, ports, Cuban cigars, and $5,000 dollar-a-night hookers -- are accustomed to dealing with crass, under-the-mountain hicks like the Palins. And now, according to Newsweek, like Puck, Sarah Palin was even worse than we thought.
Palin also used low-level staffers to buy some of the clothes on their credit cards. The McCain campaign found out last week when the aides sought reimbursement. One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.
I noticed that although McCain threw out his usual complimentary drivel about how wonderful she is, he did not make eye contact with Todd Palin when he shook his hand for a nano second. According to Newsweek, Palin asked to speak last night. Her request was denied.
I find it insulting, and telling, that John McCain actually expected to win over the American people by presenting us with someone that he barely knew or even liked. I'm not surprised at all that he lost. After that Palin debacle, he deserved to loose.
