Yesterday, the story broke that Gov. You Betcha and her family have been outfitted with a wardrobe from Saks and Nieman Marcus, courtesy of the Rethuglican National Committee. The cost was a measly $150,000. So much for the Joe the Plumber vote; what plumber's wife shops at Saks? (OK, maybe John Gotti's wife did).
So much, too, for the phony Rethug "concern" about struggling middle-class families and people who are facing foreclosure. That $150,000 would sure have helped some of them. And the donors to the Rethug party must be feeling, uh, punked, thinking that their dollars were going to fight Commies and "terrists" on our beaches. Now, the Rethug party is saying the clothes will go to charity after the election: it's their trickle-down theory in practice.
