Neiman Marcus: The Middle Class Store?

As usual, I was surfing around the New York Times site and came across a very… interesting article about Sarah Palin. I know that I must seem obsessed, but she always seems to be grabbing my attention. The latest article I found was titled “$150,000 Wardrobe for Palin May Alter Tailor-Made Image”. You have to admit, you want to read it too.

In the article, they discuss the latest antic of the McCain campaign. This time, adviser to Palin spent $150,000 on “campaign accessories”. The advisers spent $75,062 dollars at Neiman Marcus and $49,425 at Saks Fifth Avenue, all to give her that perfect “working middle-class mom” look. Am I the only one who thinks that sounds just a tad bit off? I mean, my mother is a hard worker from the middle class, and she frets about spending $100 dollars.

The worst part of the whole event is people are brushing it off like it’s nothing. The article stated that making a big commotion about the spending would be “kicking the campaign while it’s down”. Excuse me? Could someone please let me know when the media started worrying about people’s feelings? I mean, they didn’t mind tearing her apart before. Has she finally become so pathetic that even the media feels slightly bad for making fun of her so much? That within itself should be a clue that she couldn’t handle being Vice President.

What on Earth are they going to do when another nation starts to question her? If controversy starts to arise then, it really does affect the outlook of our nation. There is no way that we can let this happen. Writing as Jill Six Pack, I can’t allow someone with a suit worth more than all of my possessions pretending to be one of us. She isn’t, and she never was. This is the final step that proves she isn’t worth anyone’s vote.

Please, have some self respect Sarah Palin and save yourself the embarrassment of trying to run for President in 2012.
