Associated Press Probes Children’s Underwear
Posted by MK on November 11, 2008
By AR – Could the AP sink any lower? Yes they can! In a splenetic piece, dutifully reported by the virtually unreadable Sydney Morning Herald under the heading, “Palin forced to give her expensive outfits back,” the AP demands Gov. Palin’s children’s underwear be accounted for.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spent part of the weekend going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican Party after it spent $150,000-plus on a wardrobe for the vice-presidential nominee, according to Palin’s father.
……Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, said his daughter spent Saturday trying to figure out what belongs to the RNC.
“She was just frantically … trying to sort stuff out,” Heath said. “That’s the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for.
“Nothing goes right back to normal,” he said.
According to the AP, the lawyers are now involved.
Republican National Committee lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was bought for Palin, what was returned and what has become of the rest.
……RNC lawyers have been discussing with Palin whether what’s left of the clothing and accessories purchased for her on the campaign trail will go to charity, back to stores or be paid for by Palin, a McCain-Palin campaign official said Friday, speaking on condition of anonymity because the campaign hadn’t authorised comment.
The first weekend after the election and Palin has already spent a day unpacking and sorting her clothes. To the AP this is not fast enough.
Palin and John McCain’s campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee.
Yeah, we know where that criticism came from. The MSM whips up a storm, then reports the storm. We are the news!

The smearing of Palin will not stop, she is the convenient scape goat that must be slaughtered and made an example of. Notice to all, the media and the elitist scum will determine who gets to run, without their approval, you won’t get a chance.
Hope all this just makes Sarah that much harder and tougher and the people are taking note.

The news media is getting worse by the day. Sarah Palin will survive this bullshit, but she should not have to! I thought the Republican party had all the rich people, where is our white knight to buy them all out and run the media fairly again?

speaking on condition of anonymity because the campaign hadn’t authorised comment. There is too much of this anonymous gossip being given to the press. Traitors. The Republicans are not the Conservatives. Most of them have behaved miserably and without any loyalty or character toward Sarah Palin.
A lot of people are taking note. Unfortunately its those of us that read and go beyond the MSM. She was on Greta at Fox tonight and Greta asked the questions fairly. She is probably the most fair and balanced interviewer on TV. Sarah did well and answered her critics. Shame it was not on all stations. Heard that she was on Good Morning America in the morning.
I could vote for her in a heartbeat. she may not pass The Republicans litmus test. They must be terrified of her. She did take on her own party in Alaska. That is what we need. Someone to stand up for common sense and decency. She has been well trained by now for the MSM. She has already paid the price and should be even better for the experience. She probably knows how to watch out for the snakes in the political circle too.

Yeah i’m sure she will Joe, but the republicans won’t survive if they keep thinking that they need to move more to the left.
Anonymous sources is code for making stuff up. There probably was no source, but the said reporter thought it would make a really good smear. Perhaps it’s time to reveal some crap about hussein and just say, a small birdie told me. Then watch how the left reject that.
“A lot of people are taking note. Unfortunately its those of us that read and go beyond the MSM.”
Yeah, and it’s not enough of us.
