Todd Palin's silk boxer shorts

[dancingme]

On top of the $150,000 first outlined in Federal Election Commission filings, Palin spent "tens of thousands of dollars" on additional clothing, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for her husband, Todd, our colleague Michael Shear reports. The campaign was charged for silk boxer shorts, spray tanners and 13 suitcases to carry all the designer clothes, according to two GOP insiders.

1. slimy grifters

I hope they really go through withdrawal. No more private planes, no more fawning crowds. no more freebies. fuck todd and his grotesque wife.

[onehandle]

12. "Grifters" is so much more accurate than "hillbillies."

Hillbillies can be admirable people. Not so, these grifters.

[Orsino]

20. As far as grifters go, the Palins were amateurs.

If you're gonna steal, steal big.

[rurallib]

26. like Bushco did and continues to do

[Orsino]

28. Yeah. The idea of a McCain campaign dispatching to retrieve a mere US$150k...

...is ridiculous.

[smb]

74. Heck, The Beverly Hillbillies Wore Their Old Clothes

If they'd gone on a big shopping spree for city-folk clothes, they'd have just looked stupid rather than amusing.

[Essene]

104. wasilla grifters.... indeed

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. i hate silk boxer shorts

really, it's like not wearing underwear at all.

Give me some plain simple boxer-briefs - comfort and security.

[donco6]

5. He must not need the support.

Tee Hee!

[skiddlybop]

11. You had to say it!

Heh.

You had to say it!

[burythehatchet]

8. Silk boxers ought to be illegal

It is physically impossible to take a leak without having a few drops roll down your leg. Silk boxers have no absorptive capacity.

[bulloney]

66. Too much information!

[jberryhill]

90. There is a technique to avoid that....

I used to subscribe to the maxim "No matter how much you shake and dance, the last drop always falls in your pants."

However, there is actually something you can do to avoid that.

If you are interested, PM for the details.

[Sanity Claws]

93. I'll tell you without a PM

You just wring it dry.

[tblue37]

97. I have heard that the "man rhyme" goes:

"No matter how you jiggle and dance, the last three drops always go down your pants."

[mscuedawg]

9. Comfort and security....

that reminds me of Obama!!! : )

[badgerpup]

84. I bought some purple silk boxers for my ex-partner years ago...

...before he was 'ex'.

Thought he'd like the feel...they were light, silky-smooth and the fabric was 'breathable'.

They became the 'hot weather around the house/in front of the TV/computer' garb.

I was OK with that...they looked pretty good on him. ;)

[Skidmore]

3. Wonder if those RNC lawyers are going to ask for them to be returned.

[City Lights]

31. I know, right? Who will be the lucky guy who ends up with Tawd's used undies?

:rofl:

[smb]

70. Good Question

I mean, they could probably recoup their whole cost for the shopping spree just by having Bill Kristol and Rich Lowry bid on Sarah's used undies, but who would want Todd's?

[kskiska]

33. Can't.

Lipstick.

[CoffeeCat]

4. Geez, they are totally...

...a bunch of hillbillies.

"Yee Haw! We git to go to thems Neiman Marcus, honey! Grab me some of that thar spray tanner
and a pair o them thar fancy underwears!"

So much fodder for SNL. Too bad the show is only and hour and a half.

[dipsydoodle]

6. silk boxer shorts

well she wouldn't graze her face on cotton - would she ?

[GoesTo11]

7. But he had to look presentable in public

[Supersedeas]

65. had to

[City Lights]

10. You can dress trash in fancy clothes, but it'll still be trash.

:thumbsdown:

[skiddlybop]

14. isn't that kinda like

putting lipstick on a pig?

[City Lights]

23. Indeed.

:D

[MadinMo]

29. Can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.....

[SoxFan]

41. Or a pig's lips, if you will...

[palintology]

13. If she keeps it ... she would have to declare it as income.

[boobooday]

15. OMG I confess I love this story

It's just thrilling.

:rofl:

Edit to add: How are they going to retrieve the spray-on tans?

[Tatiana]

19. It's my guilty pleasure too!

Guess the First Dude really does like his freedom.

:rofl:

[boobooday]

22. I'm so ashamed

I just want to hear more and more . . .

[ecstatic]

53. Me too! You're not alone! nt

[symbolman]

46. Chemical body peel :)

a literal pound of flesh returned would be nice...

Hate to hear folks insult Hillbillies by comparing them to this White Trash..

[ecstatic]

52. Eww.. Are they donating Todd's boxers to charity?

I hope they bleach them or something!

[LynneSin]

76. you think you want to be the person that gets Todd's used underwear from charity

:scared:

[tekisui]

79. Alright, Tad, hand over the spray-on tan.

We know you still have it. And, we are giving it to charity.

[road2000]

16. Thank you for not posting a photo.

[gabby garcia]

17. Todd Palin's silk boxer shorts

coming soon on ebay!

eww.

[SaintLouisBlues]

83. Skidmarks...no extra charge

Or do they call them beartracks up in Alaska?

[Democat]

18. Plain took off with 13 suitcases full of designer clothing?

Wow, you wouldn't have guessed that by looking! :rofl:

[kskiska]

47. And the suitcases are most likely brand new Louis Vuitton

from Nieman Marcus.

[Wolfies Revenge]

21. they are white trash

[Imagevision]

24. Take the money and run...go Sarah! someone else will be paying for this

[alcibiades_mystery]

30. What's great is that it's Republican donors...

:rofl:

It's too fucking delicious that these grifters were snapping up Nieman Marcus on the GOP dime, and absconded to Alaska with 13 Louis Vuitton bags full of luxury clothes! It's like they're one of those gypsy families that go around conning suckers. They certainly found the right marks in the Republican Party. From the morons who thought Bush was actually going to outlaw abortion, to the suburbanites who thought they were really getting a no down payment mortgage, the GOPers are the Sucker Part par excellence. They got took by a tribe of Alaskan grifters.

:rofl:

[The Night Owl]

25. Todd needs those silky shorts for those long rides on the snow mobile.

[rurallib]

27. machine. Snow machine

[MattBaggins]

40. Mobile. Snowmobile

You don't ride around on a snow machine. They have mobile ones at ski resorts but it is not feasible to ride a machine that creates snow on days that mother nature is taking a break.

If you trying to act like you're all in the scene; real snow-mobilers fondly call them their sleds.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

80. They call what most people call snow mobiles, snow machines. Snow machines make snow

and wouldn't really be necessary in Alaska, right? lol!

[Submariner]

32. This thread is worthless without peekshurs

I guess Todd's dirty shorts on the Insider HD TV soon.

[anneboleyn]

or on ebay? I wonder.

[bulloney]

67. Sarah can try to sell Todd's shorts on E-bay with that damned plane.

[DCBob]

34. What a freak show. Republicans must be so proud.

Total losers.

[bushisanidiot]

35. Holy crap! Imagine what she is doing to Alaskan taxpayers if she did this on

the campaign trail!! They need to have an investigation into her expenditures as Governor!!!

[lame54]

36. How would you like to repo those

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

37. Verisimilitude in the manner of Erich von Stroheim

who was famous for demanding that extras playing royal soldiers in his movies had the correct period underwear.

Yellowed old long johns may be appropriate for the First Dude of Alaska but not for the Prince Consort of the Amazon Queen/VP of the United States of America.

[Raschel]

38. So much for Palin's spokesperson's claim that someone else bought the items.

[truthisfreedom]

45. Lying-thru-her-teeth grifter.

That worthless little $#%@!!

[DeadElephant_ORG]

62. "GRIFTER" That is absolutely the perfect word. Thanks.

[Vinca]

39. Silk boxer shorts???? What a couple of scam artists.

:rofl: And to think they have to send a lawyer to pick up Todd's dirty underwear. Maybe they'll put the nasty things on ebay and the freepers will fund the next campaign with their bidding.

[Historic NY]

42. used underware......

disgusting

[onager]

43. These stories are like eating peanuts...

I just can't stop. e.g., I found this thread from a Google on "todd palin+clothes." I am hopeless. But I have a day off from my job here in Egypt. Which is located, as most of you know, in the northern part of that big country, Africa.

And Newsweek has SEVEN MORE DAYS of this wonderful stuff to dish. To paraphrase a Wonkette poster: it's like seven early Christmases!

Come and listen to my story 'bout a dude named Todd,
A poor Wasilla-billy, barely kept his family shod,
Then one day he was helping wifey rule,
When up from Real America come a gullible old fool.

McCain, that is. John. Sugar Daddy, they're not just for the fe-males anymore...

Well, the first thing you know old Todd's a-looting stores,
Buying more silk panties than a herd of Vegas whores,
Wifey said, "Credit crunch? Never heard of such a thing!"
And she made a buncha staffers use their plastic for her bling.

That's jewelry. And lipstick for some hypothetical pig...probably that one over yonder wearin' nothin' but the two towels...

Well, now it's time to say good-bye to Todd and all his kin,
But they'll be back, YOU BETCHA, when they figure out the spin,
And they'll wander like a herd of moose to this locality,
To plunder Neiman-Marcus on another shopping spree!

Er...except that McCain feller said something about not letting a door hit you somewhere...

[RamboLiberal]

50. Newsweek has all 7 parts already posted

Chapter 7 went up today.

[ReadTomPaine]

69. Nicely done!

:thumbsup:

[Joe Bacon]

103. Sarah, you just get ass-holeyer with time!

Good lord, she is the gift that will keep on giving and what's even more amazing is that the morons who remain in the Republic Party are STUPID enough to put up with this shit! The Elizabeth Hasselbecks and their ilk are truly dead from the neck up!

[TexasObserver]

44. Silk boxer shorts?! Go commando.

We don't need no stinkin' underwear.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

58. Just make sure you have a button fly.

It hurts like hell to get your wee wee caught in a zipper.

[TexasObserver]

60. I'm very practiced.

but yeah, that's a concern

[GalleryGod]

48. Don't Worry,Fans! MIKA B. Will STILL Say WE ARE BRUTALLY PICKING ON SARAH

I think it's near time that we turned the Full Firepower of our membership on the MSNBC "Morning Joe" email box!

[roguevalley]

75. wasn't she an ass? I wanted to punch her face. and that woman with

that guy on Tweety yesterday. what the hell? Just because she's a dame doesn't mean we have to give her the benefit of the doubt. she IS WHAT SHE IS!

[GalleryGod]

100. What is So Scary 'bout Sister Sarah: How GLIBLY she LIES ! To wit- the diet dr. pepper remark!

MIKA must Go! You know the Stepford Term?
WEll Mika's original "Girl Crush" has advanced to Stepford Mosselini Apostle!
She & Joe Got To Go ! :bounce:

[TexasLady]

106. Mika should send them a complimentary case of vodka

bein' so close to Putin's ugly head and all...

[Catherine Vincent]

49. How ironic. The republicans lied on the Clinton's when they were in

the White House yet they supported these people that stole for real.

[ecstatic]

51. Cool. Did he greet McCain aides in them?

It sounds like they were living it up!

[izzybeans]

54. Silk boxer shorts, did they buy the mirror over the waterbed too?

total trash. I'm thinking he's got a Velvet red robe and gold chain stashed somewhere.

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

55. Kick! Sorry I can't let a thread with this title die. nt.

[DeepModem Mom]

56. I'm going to rec it for the title alone! nt

[Jed Dilligan]

57. If they take them back, I have an extra pair for him

to eat.

[leftynyc]

59. Please tell me there is a

solid Democrat to run against this waste of flesh.

[Monk06]

61. Can you imagine what the whitehouse would look like after these two got through

redecorating. Polar Bear rugs, moose heads a
presidential gun cabinet. Laura's designer rug
is bad enough.

[ReadTomPaine]

71. Isn't that what the Palin parody website was all about?

www.palinaspresident.us was a riot during the election

[Monk06]

81. The Parody was close but I think reality would be worse.

Here's a not great picture of Bearskin Barbi in her office

Note the grizzly bear hide draped over the couch behind her.

[MadrasT]

95. Pickup trucks on cinder blocks in the Rose Garden...

:rofl:

[nichomachus]

63. It costs a lot of money to look that cheap.

(sorry, Dolly)

[bulloney]

64. But it's all going back to charity.

Right?

Wasilla Hillbillies indeed.

[smb]

68. The Ironic Thing Is...

...Todd's buddies will probably sneer and cast aspersions on his masculinty and sexuality for so much as owning silk boxer shorts.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

72. In the old days, they would have called Sarah Palin an "Adventuress"

An Adventuress used to mean an attractive young woman who frequented resorts, casinos, and the like to use her feminine charms to bilk rich old men out of their money and jewels.

[kskiska]

108. Queen Mary called Wallis Simpson an adventuress

when her son wanted to marry Wallis and give up his throne. The queen refused to even meet her, forcing Wallis to sit out in the car when he visited.

[budkin]

73. Disgusting... talk about trashy.

[LynneSin]

77. Mark my word - the RNC will run someone against Palin for the Repub gov primary

they don't want this trailer park trash anywhere near the White House or associated with their party again.

[Imagevision]

78. eeew! did he have to give them back?

[janet118]

82. If they "return" them, what's the resale value?

Used First Dude shorts? No thanks.

[jberryhill]

92. Used undergarments cannot be returned

....and I can't imagine a charity wanting them.

[underpants]

85. See you guys don't know a THING about winning snow mobile racing strategies

:rofl:

[Orsino]

86. "Todd Palin's silk boxer shorts!" would make a great oath...

...for a comic book hero/ine. Like "Thor's balls!"

[Phx_Dem]

87. Dear God.

What is wrong with these Wasilla hillbilly looters! I'm speechless -- the campaign is responsible for buying their UNDERWEAR?!!! The RNC should let them keep it all and then itemize it as gifts on their tax form so the hillbillies have to pay taxes on it. Taxes on $150,000-$200,000 is a big ole chunk of change.

[GalleryGod]

101. One of the Newsweek Authors calls it: One Step from "Stealing from the McCain campaign"

The SAME DAY she shouted at a rally: "these are my own clothes from my consignment shop...yadda,yadda,yadda,"
Hours later..."She was taking delivery in her suite of tailored outfits sent over from Neiman Marcus"


These people are VOUCHER THIEVES of the highest order.

1. Bill per diem when actually at home.
2. Bill $40K for kids airline travel.
3. STEAL from McCain Campaign.


The PATTERN is there...dots are already connected,folks!





:puke: :argh: :puke:

[ecstatic]

88. Looks like the photos have been leaked (sigh)

Not sure how the press got this, but..

[PatriotGames]

89. I hope the RNC doesn't want those back too. n/t

[ailsagirl]

94. LOL!! You can't make this stuff up!!

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

91. Ms Tundra Trash and Spouse hit the lottery, eh?

:puke:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

96. I wonder why the GOP wanted the Palin male have boxers made of silk?

I asked one of our neighbors, a GOP member and he said he was not happy about that.

[onager]

98. "Can you imagine what the White House would look like..."

Say, do you want your yard to bore future archaeologists? Of course not!! Except for the rubbish of our forefathers, we wouldn't know doodly-squat about history. It's never too late to start your own future dig site AND earn money while you accumulate, like this canny North Georgia family. For a steady income, first check the local landfill to see what they won't take. Though it is unclear in this picture, this family spray-painted "Happy Birthday Jesus" on the side of the house, because it's like Christmas every day around here!


http://www.drbukk.com/gmhom/other.html

[MNReformer]

99. She said the media lied about attorneys coming to her house

She asked who reported it in the news conference today and she was told New York Times and then said they were wrong.

[GalleryGod]

102. The "House" part maybe...they're are coming for their stuff,though.

Too Bad: I'd like that Penis Head Ben Whats-Him-Name to be one of them.

[Genevieve]

107. sarah lies.

alot!

[onager]

105. The strange thing about Todd Palin.

I just saw this on another board somewhere...

$40,000 to dress him, and he still looks like he got turned down for a job at Jiffy Lube.

:rofl:
