> [@Tenebras](#): > > So, anybody heard anything new about the missing duds, or should we just assume they were donated to the Palins’ family holiday celebration? Google News returns nothing more recent on - palin return clothes - other than the old report that she was sorting them. One would think that the RNC would have trumpeted the donation of the clothes to charity. ---

She’ll give them back right after her daughter gets married to that guy. Which may be slightly before his mother gets out of the slammer and their kid graduates community college. ---

Wonder when Bristol will give birth to her baby? [Back in October](http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/sarahpalin/3192885/US-elections-Bristol-Palins-boyfriend-Levi-Johnston-denies-shotgun-wedding.html), Levi Johnston said the kid was due on December 18. Eleven days late is hardly record-breaking, especially for a first pregnancy. But if there’s no baby in the next week or two, you’d have to wonder. ---

The kid (depending on gender) will graduate from beauty school (if it’s a girl) or auto-repair school (if it’s a boy). Robin ---

Huh… Looks like the whole mess is sitting at RNC Headquarters [in trash bags](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/23/palins-180000-campaign-cl_n_160313.html), waiting for an audit. That’s gonna be great for donating to charity–what, Republicans can’t afford hangers? I’m sure there’s a metaphor in here somewhere. ---

You know, I saw that story too, and I can’t see where the “stuffed in trash bags” part comes from. It’s not mentioned anywhere in the story. And is that just a stock photograph of a trash bag or what? This is why you can’t trust Huffington Post even if you lean Democrat: their reporting is just crap.
