You know, I knew at some point somebody would bring up Gov. Palin’s clothing. Executives do spend some money on wardrobe. The thing about a good wardrobe piece is it’s considered foundational. It isn’t like, say, a splashy world tour that really doesn’t have anything to do with a U.S. election or running through incredible sums of money so quickly that you have to go do a fund raiser to continue your campaign.
It isn’t like the excesses of Hollywood where hundreds of thousands are spent on a single night for a dress, shoes, facial, hairdo and jewelry so a starlet can walk out on the red carpet. Or the amount of money Al Gore runs through in his not-so-eco-friendly home. Wardrobe is foundational. It’s a necessity. If the only thing the press can come up with to hate Gov. Palin about is her clothing bill, after all that time and money spent in Alaska digging for dirt on her, you guys really should just hang it up.
