Don't forget (perhaps the two most important jobs of VP) -

Taking people hunting and shooting them in the face.

Ordering subordinants to reveal the identity of CIA operatives when their spouses challenge the doctored intelligence you use to justify going to war.

I think that about covers it.

Okay, that was hilarious! Few comments make me actually laugh out loud.

there is plenty to bash on both sides. personally how a senator can manage to vote "present" 102 times in only two years is concerning to me. since we hire them specifically to vote, should we take back a part of their pay for every time they fail to show up or simply vote "present" ?

That has always bothered me. But most of them have a ridiculously large number of 'present' votes, Obama and McCain. To me, that's like going to class and forgetting your homework. We need to start docking their freaking pay or something.

Not at all... I am just responding to your statement that you didn't think she engaged in cronyism, when it has been a hallmark of her elected life.

Understood.   I dont plan to vote for her. But this is due to how I view the state of our country. Not because of here. Think of it as a job interview. You have a batch of applicants. "we will get back to you".   Thats my thing.

She would be good for tourism. She has some talent. Just not what I view as needed for VP.

But I dont fault her for spending money to dress well.

Nor - will I smear her just because I disagree with her religious interrelatedness into governing.

She is still a real person, with very little experience in the public eye.

...ya know when a person lives in a small town they must walk the line. as people you will bump into years later.   and you never know who married to a family.

I really have no issue with them buying her a wardrobe. Frankly, you have to dress the part and maybe what she had didn't cut it. I question the individual who thought $150k was a good idea. You have reps sending out emails by the truckload trying raise money to combat 'Liberal Contributions' (that's really what the email said). 150k on clothes does not make me want to give you a freaking dollar!

Well, apparently there is some question of the legality of using donor monies for personal purchases (FEC laws), and to have bought the kids and the first dude clothes as well is pretty questionable. Remember the problem with Nancy Reagan (who had clothes given to her) and having the issue with having to pay the taxes on them.. and those were GIVEN to her...so who knows...

Puella, that was such a sweet video. Thank you so much for sharing it. I wonder if it will put to rest all the 'elitist' lifestyle labels with Obama wearing a worn belt, scuffed shoes and a 10 year old pair of pants and Michelle styling in a $30 dollar dress.

Yes, yes, I'm a dreamer .. it could happen!

I know we chatted about this a bit in this thread so I thought I would toss this link into a post for another (rueful) chuckle... apparantly Sarah's tastes have now changed to the more 'elite'; they had wardrobe problems when she was on SNL because she wanted to wear pricier clothes than the costumes they provided. Looks like the hockey mom has a taste for the good life and big (anti American?) city shoppin'... how ironic...

I don't know why it is but, with so many of the republicans I get that feeling of "do as I say, not as I do" that my mother always warned me about.

McCain has now come out and said the clothing was going to be donated to charity after the election. I can't imagine that was the plan until the uproar occured.

By contrast, there's a photo of Obama on Utube with holes in the souls of his shoes. Wonder if Palin would donate a new pair of Adidas to him?

The red leather jacket was a fashion disaster - totally, but totally inappropriate on so many levels... they should take the stylist responsible out and shoot him (or her) moose style.

Do you think she will have it uninstalled from the Gov mansion (if McCain wins) and have it installed in the VP mansion? That would be a first, eh?
