OlderSarah Palin: They’re Not My Clothes!
The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduces Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a campaign rally at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimee, Florida on Sunday.
Sarah Palin denounced the story that a wardrobe worth $150,000 was purchased for her in September, saying the report was “ridiculous” and declaring emphatically, “Those clothes, they are not my property.”
“Instead of the issues, they are focused, fixated on her wardrobe,”Hasselbeck said. “Now, with everything going on in the world, seems a bit odd. But let me tell you, this is deliberately sexist. I know you know that.”
After the rally in Florida, Palin headed to Asheville, a city in the Appalachian region of North Carolina.

i hate Elisabeth Hasselbeck. she’s sooo fake.
well, at least she’s good with palin, who’s fake as hell too.
oh, and i’m first. hooray!
elizabeth hasselback is obviously a stupid idiot
I really hope I’ll never have to see her again after the election.
A prime example of the dumb leading the dumb
“Instead of the issues, they are focused, fixated on her wardrobe,”
Who are “they” and oh how hypocritical that statement is…
The expensive wardrope only became an issue because of Sarah Palin’s insistence that she is “one of us”, a regular hockey mom married to a Joe Sixpack.
Shame on her!
They are not fixated on the clothes but rather amount of taxpayer money wasted on them.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a hell of a lot of money for clothes, regardless of whether she keeps them or sells them on ebay. Hockey moms, Joe SixPack, Joe the Plumber - none of them can afford such extravagance!
Lol people have tried talking to Palin about important issues, but she is too dumb to give any real answers if it isn’t about guns and Jesus.
stfu elisabeth and stfd.
stupid *****

ON MEET THE PRESS THIS WEEKEND JOHN MCCAIN COULD NOT EVEN REMEMBER THE NAME OF ONE OF THE GENERALS WHO ENDORSED HIM FOR PRESIDENT….IT WAS EMBARRASSING!
IS THIS ONE OF THE ‘SENIOR MOMENTS’ WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE DURING THE NEXT 4 YEARS???? YIKES!!
These women are the reason why the world hates US and terrorists want to kill all americans.
When a woman candidate runs for office, they scrutinize them on trivial issues.. be it Hillary or Palin.. This is what is sad..
Palin may be underqualified and she can be attacked for that, but this is pathetic. Men’s clothes cost a lot too.. they are all wearing Armani suits that easily go at $5k a piece and just because they look the same doesnt mean they havent spent a whole lot of money on them… Regardless, this shouldnt be made into an issue..
there are no words….
It wasn’t taxpayer money- it was the Republican party that paid for them. So anybody who sent in $15 to get your little McSame/Falin’ yard sign done got tooked.
These comments about Sarah are low class — especially calling her the C word. I note there are no real intellectual challenges to what Hasselbeck or Palin have said, just name calling that would earn a scolding from a 3rd grade teacher.
No taxpayers spent any money on these clothes. You think Palin is an idiot? Only an idiot would think that taxpayers spent money on her clothes.
Besides which, Obama spent more on those styrofoam columns and the rest of the set for one speech. Do you have any idea how much putting up a set like that costs? And that was a one-off. These clothes are reusable.
In fact, I would bet that if you auctioned these clothes on e-bay, you’d get way more than the original $150K back. Sarah has a lot of fans.
To Bob;
Sorry, but the issue concerns the amount of money that was spent on the clothing; as well as the hairdresser, make-up, etc. The RNC aide said, specifically, that Palin didn’t care where the clothing came from. By the way, Palin thought nothing of using Wasilla budget funds to have her mayor’s office redecorated, twice.
Ms. Palin loves the media when it makes her look favorable; when a truth comes ot that makes her look unfavorable, she is now calling it “sexist.” Ms. Palin brought this issue up at the rallies, again — not the media. As far as being “annoyed” at Couric regarding the questions she asked? Has the world gone flat? No wonder the Anchorage Daily News is endorsing Obama. This corruption regarding Troopergate is just the tip of the iceberg. Now she has to answer for the TransCanada mess.
Welcome to the world of two idiot women who need to shut up.
# 52 Bob the plumber .. your question is do we think Sarah Palin is a idiot .. and the answer is YES! I think she is way out of her league and is hurting John McCain rather then helping him, I don;t know what in the world he was thinking when he chose her as his running mate but it is sure to back fire … and no matter how much she gets for the clothes when she sells them on ebay, it still does not change the fact that she paid 150K for them, and just like others have said, THAT WAS TO MUCH MONEY!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck should shut her mouth! She talks too much!! Someone please wrap some duck tape around this b!tches mouth…
They both make me physically ill. I can’t even look at them.
Are the people who sent money to the Republican party not taxpayers?
The system is different where I’m from. Political parties are allowed some government money to campaign but they don’t take donations from the public. Personally I think the US system is corrupt. Democracy is supposed to be about who the majority support, not who the rich support. The only reason McCain picked Palin is so that the church would start pouring money into his campain and if she ends up as president we are all screwed.
She doesn’t seem to get a few things.
1. She’s fashioned (no pun) herself as the Soccer Mom who Joe The Plumber and His Six Pack family identify with; the family that clips coupons, eats at Country Buffet, shops at the Marts (K/Wal) etc.
2. Unless they held her down and forced it on her, she wore them of her own volition. She didn’t just fall off the snowmobile. She’s not some backwoods country honk who doesn’t know Valentino from Valvoline.
Bottomline, if she has no voice with those who surround her, and especially when it’s a decision directly affecting her, how in the world is she going to respond when it’s a decision affecting us?
She took the clothes. She and her family+Levi wore the clothes. She knew the price literally and figuratively and she needs to own that truth and stop having people like EH and JMc point fingers everywhere but where it should be pointed.
This pretense that she and First Dude are just a poor hand to mouth existence couple with five hungry mouths to feed on a small budget is bull and many here in the lower 48 along with the taxpayers of Alaska who paid for a mulitude of Palin family extra’s know different.
jpf
That elizabeth is not helping the cause lol
@18
I don’t know the American political system as well as you as I don’t live there - and I never said Palin was an idiot. She’s seems a smart lady, I just don’t think she’s VP material - or that any woman needs 150k of clothes.
No need to be so rude.
This whole $150,000 clothes things seems to be a Palin “I didn’t inhale” moment. Oh, she’s been wearing the clothes, you betcha. But she didn’t wear them all, so she thinks that makes it OK. Some of the clothes have been returned (which I’m sure will seem pretty rotten to the stores she bought them from). So maybe she “only” spent $100,000 on clothes–and she thinks that this too makes everything hunky dory. Oh wait, she wants to distract us with “they are being so sexist talking about my clothes” claptrap. Give me a break. This woman is dumber than a bag of hammers, and is dishonest as the day is long. Prominent Republicans have started calling her a “diva” and a “cancer” and “rogue”, and these are some of the nicer things she’s been called lately. I think she is just a typical ignorant corrupt Republican. Now that she has been properly vetted by the American people, the chances seem pretty good that she’ll be impeached or indicted when she goes back home after the election.
Hmmmm. I wonder if she made a snide remark about Michelle Obama, insinuating that she’s a liar and has something to hide, at this upteenth sanctioned Klan rally that’s disguised as a typical McCain/Palin campaign stop?
I’m so sick to death of Elisabeth Hasselback that I wish she’d just leave that f*cking show for good and move to Fox. But, I guess she won’t do that because deep down she knows that once Obama gets in office, she and her awful Republican friends won’t have a platform for their soapbox.
She’s a disgusting, whiny little b#tch !! And I really don’t see what she adds to “The View.” I do, however, see why she’s paired herself with Palin. They’re pretty much one in the same — and dumb as ever !!
Two peas in a pod there. But I guess I’m glad that Lizzie is on board now with that sinking ship. Can’t wait to see it go down, down, down in a few days. And taking this harpie would be the cherry on the sundae for me.
Babs and the producers of “The View” though should be more deligent about slapping this ***** on the wrist about going overboard in her campaign for the McCain camp. I mean, we don’t see Joy, Whoopi or Sherri out there like she is. So I don’t see the fairness in this hands-off stance they’re taking regarding this.
In fact, I find it rather disturbing. I really wonder if anyone else does as well. If Joy or Whoopi were to introduce one of the other candidates at a rally, they would be up in arms !!! I just don’t get how there’s not more public outrage, other than calls to the office last week about Lizzie’s crappy tee-shirt.
WHY? WHY? WHY? Why posted their photos at all……………………. there are more important issues/more attactive people/smarter person/truly series crisis or stuff…..
**** obama
I don’t think that Palin would be criticized for the amount spent on her wardrobe or the fact that the highest paid staffer in the McCain campaign is a make up artist for her IF she herself hadn’t made such a big deal out of spinning the story that she is just like every day people. I personally don’t care how much money is spent on her clothes or hair or how much any of the men spend on clothes. But it bugs me that she tried to pass herself off as a bargain shopper…a regular person…an every day American…when she is NOT. And that , my friends, is why people are critical. It is disingenuous and frankly and insult to her…except she is too stupid to realize it. The Republican party might as well have painted a sign on her forehead that read….NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Why else would they have felt the need to spend so much money on clothes?
I love Elizabeth! She’s the only reason I watch The View.
The way Sarah Palin is being treated is sexist. No one ever asked Bill Clinton how much his suites cost. It’s a shame that this even comes up. Sarah Palin is a DC outsider. IMO - we need more of that in DC.
McCain/Palin all the way!
The media doesn’t report that Palin will donate all her clothes to charity. Good for Palin. I wish Obama would donate his $2,000 per suit to charity.
Obama is an idiot and dumb. Obama will raise taxes on people making even $40,000. Now he is criticizing the US Constitution. What a fool.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck is a ****** dumb biatchh!!
Someone possibly dumber than Sarah Pain, Elizabitch. It’s like Dumb and Dumber, the reality show to watch these two.
Once, again, people, comparing Pain to Hilary hasn’t worked and will not work.. Hilary is educated; Palin is well, Caribou Barbie.
They should become lovers
So it’s not OK for Palin to have expensive clothes but it’s OK for Michelle Obama. How do you think Michelle paid for the clothes?? Using her husband’s, a senator which gets paid through our tax dollars, money. They were showing on T.V. Friday how to get the looks for less and just ONE of Michelle Obama’s outfits was priced for $1000. I think it’s sad that the Democrats can find nothing else to talk about then how much someone spends on clothes, all the celebs that are voting for them do it on a daily basis and who pays for their income? We do!
Finally…you showed something political that didn’t insult the republican party. The media is dead set on giving us only information on Obama and I am so sick of it. All the people who have left comments hating on her, your comments are absolutely ridiculous. You all need to check the facts before you open your mouths and spew the information that has been given to you by the media. It’s not the truth and I pray to God that you will check the actual facts before you go out and vote. It could end up being a long four years….
Your right SARAH with everything that is going on in this world why would you spend 150K. Man, your as stupid as you look!!
i cant stand that b!tch elisabeth
I can’t stand either one of these women, both are stupid and I’m sorry both of them are in the public eye. eh needs to go away and God help us if mccain/palin are elected!!!
..for who can afford the apple pie this holidayseason.

Plain clothing budget got paid for by the Republican donors. Fine. She had to wear good clothes .She could not go out in Walmart suits. The clothes are hers to keep. The donating to charity is stupid. Yeah, Obama abd Biden and McCain too has used campaing funds to buy clothing. Cindy McCain wore $300,000 dollars at the Repub Convention=her earrings, Oscar outfit .SO WHAT !!!!!!!!!! It is her hard earned money and inherited money. She paid for it. Her folks worked hard and honestly for it.
This Palin clothing fund is much about nothing. lets move one.
A holiday dinner cost about $100.00. many people can’t aford it. Christmas giifts for toys and food, many can’t afford. I , for one, will be giving to the food bank and to you fund this year. How about you? Ithink this year will be a hard hit year for those giving ,what little they can and and you are going to have a record number of those needy people.
I agree with#25 Originial j.
Elizabeth Hasselbeck is just a Repub mouth piece , a cheerleader no matter what they do. She get sher brieifings daily from Hannity and the rest of what to say andhow to say it.

Is Palin for real? Her OWN party told reporters the clothes are hers!!!!!! She is such a liar!!!! Disgusting woman.
**** obama
i think this person was trying to say vote obama
STUPID IDIOT…that’s all i’m gonna say
Naw……**** MaCain, Palin, and Hasselb!tch.
She is such a fake b!tch. I wish she would shut the f*ck up and stop with the fake tears. She’s just your typical b***** b**** crying all the time.
I can’t stand these bit.ches, they are so fake.
two idiots
That Todd Palin is good looking. I think Serr-rrah Palin is very pretty too.
It is not that 150,000 dollars was spent on her clothes, but that the RNC paid for it. It is well known that all the Democrats running for office pay for their own clothes, so to argue that this is sexist is wrong.
oh now that elizabeth “rhodes scholar” hasselbeck is on the trail then palin’s numbers will definitely go up! bwahahahahaha! what a joke. taxpayers’ money used to dress you up in 150,000 dollar clothes to call obama elitist: nice one palin - abuse of power idiot!
two of the stupidest women in the country sharing the same stage. what a nightmare.
DUMB AND DUMBER
People, the flippin clothes are either going to be sold in an auction or returned. They were a gift! She did not ask for them. And what, do you tihnk Barack Obama and Michelle shop at flippin Wal-Mart? Michelle has a stylist. Why are we talking about something stupid and not important. Lets look at the woman herself and not the clothing. You know, if she campained in flippin fleece like she did in Alaska you guys would be calling her trailer trash. I just find the hateful comments ignortant. I’ll take Obama sriously when he actually does something and quits being a lawyer and trying to get me to the believe the crap he talks about.
im not understanding why this has become an issue? the only people that have payed for this is the mccain/palin supporters. and can someone please inform me as to where michele obama got her clothes, casue they sure as hell aren’t from the goodwill. can someone tell me how much mccain/obama/biden have spent on their armani suits, patent shoes, and their ties? why has this not been brought up? and for the record I dont think anyone would have liked it if sarah showed up to a rally in a sweatshirt and jeans, so she loses either way. thats why its sexist.
tammy - mccain chose palin ’cause obama did not pick clinton - but i think if obama wins clinton will e an important part of his government - please dont vote for mccain/palin - they are a joke - the woman is a lunatic and a fraud and a liar and SO FALSE

Do your homework.
1. Michelle isn’t running for VP Sarah Palin is, and she’s gunning for the folks who spend $150,000 only when playing Monopoly with the family.
2. Michelle’s clothing is purchased not by the DNC but private earnings. A senator’s salary is just that, salary. Add to that the money earned from his books and guess what? Michelle gets to shop where ever the hell she wants.
The Obama’s have never claimed to be living a Hamburger Helper store brand soda pop Kmart-WalMart only life. They have never tried to cut and isolate any one group from the masses in hopes of pretending to identify with them like Palin has, and so don’t even try that one.
3. Critic’s aren’t now, nor have they been limited to non McCain/Palin supporters.
Just like Dems and Indies in Alaska want to know why their tax dollars paid for Palin’s kids to take trips (or stay home), Alaska Repub’s there want to know too.
Just like they all want to know right here in the lower 48 how the Pit Bull with lipstick allowed herself to be “forced to not only take $150,000. in merchandise, but also be held down while the expert the RNC felt was needed, made her face up to the tune of $22,000.”
You’re so determined to deflect attention away from this but you can’t. She, you, Elisabeth H are so hellbent on making excuses for it all like she’s some damn victim is insulting to women more than any accusation of sexism ever could be.

It so ridicules having to read the comments about Elizabeth, you should not make those remarks about her just because she has different political beliefs than you, so when people don’t believe what you believe, then they are stupid?
One do not put me in the same category as Elizabeth, she’s a celeb and therefore I think she just like other celebs should stay out of politics. Two Why does it seem like all that’s coming out of the mouths of people who have posted here is b!tch this and b!tch that. Why can’t Obama voters state their opinion without harsh language, it doesn’t make them sound very intelligent. Three I never once said anything derogatory about the Obama campaign I was simply saying they shouldn’t call the kettle black. As for Michelle not being a VP she ’s Obama’s wife therefore she is a reflection of him and where his money goes.
If you have time please read.

i hate elizabeth, she needs to shut up.
Michell
Just leave it alone. You’re determined to make this some poor picked on Palin piece, while big bad mean Obama supporters (”regardless of the facts that Palin is catching hell from her own party) bully and cuss.
I do have one last thing before I split.
A celebrity has just as much right to speak as a non celebrity, and that’s including Elisabeth Hasselbeck “no matter how much she irks me.” She’s a citizen just like you. She pays taxes just like you, and she votes just like you, so guess what? She’s intitled to speak as publically about who she supports or doesn’t just like you.
It’s just like the right to wave the flag in one hand and bellow about how they’ll lose their freedoms if this or that person is nominated, while with the other hand, clamp shut another’s voice if that voice is saying what they don’t want to hear.
jpf
It’s not the Obama camp that is criticizing Palin on the clothes issue. It is the media and the public. Obama campaigners do not have the time to comment on trivial matters. When Elizabeth says ” ‘THEY ARE FOCUSING ON HER WARDROBE” she is suggesting that Obama and his campaigners are, AND THAT IS NOT SO. Elizabeth is not just being disingenuos, she is being deliberatly misleading.
Dumb and dumber ride again.
The big difference between me and a celeb is I’m not going on national T.V. stating my politic views. Their are people in this country that are going to vote for Obama/McCain just because they’re favorite celeb is voting for them.
mju8-”A prime example of the dumb leading the dumb” Couldnlt have said that any better!
The ‘DoubleDumb Twins’….Two…Two Idiots at once.
why moderation ..cause i mentioned cindys’ millions and her
$300 000 outfits
I don’t like Elizabeth sometimes, but she has a point being in the McCain/Palin rally. Team McCain/Palin for sure!!!
Well, I hope you know you are an idiot, Elisabeth. This stupid Barbie doll needs to shut the hell up.
Those girls are so smart and awesome! Save America from idiot obama being liying!!!
Both of them are racist airheads.
MaCain advisors wanted Palin to stick to the Republican script, except that loud mouth Elizabeth from the View had to bring it up. It gave Palin the chance to change her revise her speech. Now MaCain campain staff members are mad at Palin and calling her a “Diva”. Yikes these Republicans really know how to tear each other down. It doesn’t help that Alaska (R) Senator Stevens got convicted.
News flash:
Michelle Obama does not dress in clothing that is as expensive as Cindy McCain’s. Michelle, Cindy and Hillary pay for their own clothes. What Palin did not say is that she didn’t give a hoot as to where those clothes came from. I seriously doubt that the clothing — including the designer purse that as purchased for Palin’s young daughter, –will be given to charity.
Palin simply isn’t qualified fot he VP-president slot. That’s the important issue. Elizabeth is a very foolish woman.
To All those people saying they used the taxpayers money to fix and remake Sarah Palin., You have a right to complain. See Barak and his people did not take the governments matching funds which is through you income tax, but McCain and the Republican did. That is why people are complaining. Everything these chick-hawk republican do, they try to excuse it by blaming the media or whom ever else is available. They are still messing up the people money and getting away with it. I want to know where did all the money go? Just remember when Bush and Chaney came to the White House they changed the tax status for the rich and gave Big business tax breaks even though they were doing business outside of america and sending the cheap garbage back to the american people for higher prices. They were making and paying the workers in those countries almost nothing to produce their product. We are building one of the largest American Embassy’s in the world in Iraq and nobody have even talked about it. Whoever win the Presidency is in for a rude awakeness. If it was me running for president I would demand to have all the books open and have a neutral committe see where we are in this whole mess.
@neals essay #68
Thank you so much for posting this, but the unfortunate fact here is that the people criticizing this story wouldn’t give 2 seconds to explore the truth or care to be enlightened. This essay goes way beyond their intellectual capacity. They are just going with the take from the “rich” and give to the poor attitude. Why should they care? All they know is they don’t have to do anything and get something in return. When we are all lining up in line for government food and driving the same brown mini car, going to our government jobs, because we are no longer a class society, then they will all be looking around for what happened.
Personally, being an average everyday working American I find it disturbing that Palin claims to be frugal yet willfully put on these over priced clothes that don’t do anything for her intelligence level or for the American people. So what if the clothes go to chairty- do you really think that poor folks who are a mere “heartbeat” from losing their homes want her sloppy second-hand clothing?- what are they going to do with it?- they are not CEOs or corporate “mavericks” who will wear this stuff to a board meeting inside the cardboard box they will be forced to live in once they’re homeless. Obama is an Ivy League educated individual and a Senator -I’m reasonably certain he can pay for his own clothes. She tacky and undignified. 150K could’ve done a lot more helping those in real need rather than dressing up Caribou Barbie. No one held her down and made her wear those outfits- she did so on her own. I don’t feel sorry for her one bit-if the media chooses to chew her up and spit her out she put herself in that position. She does not represent me. And if we should be so unfortunate to have McCain as out next president- I pray he lives long- I do not think she has the brains to screw in a lightbulb so I certainly don’t want her in a position to have a say so in America’s future-she can’t even accurately tell a child what her new role would be. Heck even folks a McDonalds read the the job description before they apply.
