I have said before, and will reiterate here just for fun, that she’s dumb as a box of hammers.
But I am unwilling to concede lies based on unnamed sources:
Others things being equal, I believe the named person over the unnamed person.
I think it was very simple: Palin and her family had very Walmart/Target type, ordinary clothes. Campaign aides tried to dress her up (lipstick on a pig?). She resisted because of the money, and so they just stopped telling her how much it cost. She never had any idea how much money was being spent, and that such an expenditure would lead to questions.
Not at first but her and the rest of the Palin family made it an easy decision. They couldn’t train her on the election information , and she became a kid in a candy store when she found out how much she could get.
I can’t get over the irony of this line: “this is ridiculous and hypocritical in terms of my values, and prudent use of ‘other people’s money.’” Couldn’t have put it better myself, Ms. Palin.
