For Amy Reads; or, Breaking News: Sarah Palin Has a Style Team (In Other Breaking News, The Sun Came up Today, Once Again)

Ahhhh, ye can always count on the vaunted Page Six of the New York Post to do you right in the clutch. The link Harrogate hath provided, provides a link to photos illustrating the work of Palin and her designer team.

Fun facts and sly rhetoric:

Insiders tell Page Six Palin has a secretive circle of stylists who dress her for events. For her big speech in St. Paul, where she accepted the GOP's vice-presidential nod, this fashion-conscious team encouraged the Alaska governor to splurge on a $2,500 jacket from Saks Fifth Avenue designed by Valentino Garavani [News Alert!!!!! Down home country people prepared to "splurge on a $2,500 jacket from Saks Fifth Avenue designed by Valentino Garavani" really, really hate elitists!!!!!!]

Palin, shunning the pantsuits favored by Hillary Clinton, wore the top during her first big speech.....


Sigh.

Wow... an elitist at heart. Too bad she is from a small town to be a "real" or "authentic" elitist.

There is a Barbie joke somewhere in here about stylists dressing Palin but that may cross a(n) (imaginary) line... Maybe

Well, I'm sure that Old Man River, Obama, and Biden have stylists too. And I'll bet those suits aren't cheap either.

Huzzah! Fashion for Dr. Reads!
Well, at least it wasn't Mrs. McCain's $300K outfit, no?
Ciao,

Supa:

But the point is, as you know, it damn sure aint Obama or Biden running around in their fancy suits running down urbanity.

Everywhere Palin goes she tosses out the I'm just a small town mom who joined the PTA line. It's no less sickening than George W. Bush as frontier hero.

As far as Old Man River goes, he's so far morally and intellectually out of whack at this point that it's almost not fair to call him a hyporite or a liar for anything. He is quickly entering idiot savant status.

I think Arugula and $97 ham comes to mind with Obama. See he's an elitist. He likes expensive thing...
