No, seriously. I don’t get at all excited over the $150,000 spent on Sarah Palin’s clothing, hair, and make-up for the duration of the campaign since Labour Day. That’s 60 days (I’m presuming she’s not getting much time away from the cameras) of campaigning. That means $2,500 per day. I wouldn’t be surprised if she used up two outfits per day – she works very long hours, you know – and required a few pit-stops to freshen up her do. I’ve done my share of television, and I can tell you that if you want to look presentable without being too uncomfortable, you’ve got to spend money on good quality clothes. (I love Wal-Mart for a lot of things; pant suits not among them.)

And you know, Sarah Palin looks great. I want a politician who’s like me and who understands my concerns, sure. But I don’t necessarily want a politician who looks like me…
