Palin denounces critics as cowardly jerks: "I never asked for anything more than a Diet Dr. Pepper"

[Bluebear]

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called her critics cowards and jerks Friday for deriding her anonymously and insisted she never asked for the expensive wardrobe purchased for her use on the presidential campaign.

"I never asked for anything more than a Diet Dr. Pepper once in a while,":nopity: Palin said as she returned to the governor's office from her two-month odyssey as the GOP vice presidential nominee. She said the Republican National Committee paid for the tens of thousands of dollars in designer clothes and accessories.

"Those are the RNC's clothes. They're not my clothes. I never forced anybody to buy anything," she said.

Republican Party lawyers are still trying to determine exactly what clothing was purchased for Palin at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus, what was returned and what has become of the rest.

1. I'm so sick of that whiny assed twerp I could spit!

She was probably given an inch and she took a mile. She didn't ask for it, but when it was offered, she went overboard.

She deserves all the angst she gets from her stupidity! Sadly, she is too stupid to learn from her own mistakes... because in her tiny mind, she made no mistakes. People are just mean to her. Waaaa.

[Number23]

2. The Wassilla-billies strike back!

Somebody call Yoda!

[mnhtnbb]

3. Yawn. Ignore her. Let the RNC sort out their mess.

[pitohui]

6. i do not ignore theft and fraud committed by the enemy

allowing GOPers to steal and go on their merry way, unshamed and unpunished, is how we got into this fix in the first place

when i see a republican thief, i'm going to keep a harsh spotlight on that cockroach

this lady is a big time grift, she had a reason for "everything" including, get this, she had to have fancy new LUGGAGE bought for her because, gosh darn you betcha she "forgot" to bring any luggage from alaska

no, she accepted this run for public office in the first place because she knew it would give her a chance to loot and steal -- and she even made her victims buy the fucking BAGS that she stuffed with designer clothes and jewelry

$20,000 PER WEEK for a hair stylist -- that alone should be cause for a jail sentence, it's a bold fraud, no two ways about it

how much do you think the stylist really got? and how much got kicked back to miss shit? think about it

[Bluebear]

7. Darn tootin', doncha know, she is a major cheat with a beehive

From billing Alaska for her children's trips to her shopping sprees, grift is the right word and this should be investigated.

[pitohui]

4. what was returned -- and who "cashed in" and got the money for the returned items

there's quite a discrepancy here with staffers and the RNC claiming that six figures of money have been spent

if palin has returned some of the clothes to the store, where is the money/gift cards/credit she received for the returns?

she was talking about auctioning the items supposedly for charity at one point (before the election), well, guess what, if the items are not hers, she DOESN'T get to sell them

[Bluebear]

5. I thought they were going to be "donated". Come on, Bible Spice, which charity got them?

[csziggy]

8. That must have been in the RNC talking points memo this morning

That women McCain aide that got assign to Palin said the same thing, almost in the same words.

[tsuki]

9. I was listening to Thom Hartman today. He put on his tin foil hat.

He believes that all the leaks are coming from former Romney aides that joined the McCain campaign. They are trying to discredit Palin to clear the way for Romney in 2012.

He also believes that all the money given to defeat Prop 8 was a bribe to the Republican Fundie Base. The Mormons want to prove that they are as RW Fundamentalist as James Dobson and Tony Perkins.

I found myself nodding in agreement.

:tinfoilhat:

[madrchsod]

10. so they are not her clothes they are just stage props

well that does get around the income tax issue and of course that McCain campaign reform legislation he coauthored..

[Webster Green]

11. Diet Dr. Pepper?

OK, that does it. She's fucking nuts! :wtf: :puke:

[Occam Bandage]

15. Diet Dr. Pepper is the best drink ever envisioned by the mind of Man.

At least she has taste in her sodas.

[Webster Green]

16. No shit?

I've never actually had one. I was just trying to be cute. :P

[Occam Bandage]

17. Heh. Well, everyone's got their favorites. Your mileage may vary. nt

[TahitiNut]

26. Please don't say "nuts" like it's a Bad Thing. It's offensive to us Nuts.

Thanks. :hi:

27. Oops!

Sorry. I should know better, since I live in California, the so-called "land of fruits and nuts". :smoke:

[TahitiNut]

29. Yes...

... I regard California as my Heartland. :dunce:

[Bippity Boo]

12. She likes Diet Dr. Pepper while tanning herself on the home tanning bed, paid for by taxpayers...

...corrupt creep.

18. YOu lay down with dogs you get flea bitten kiddo, you are,,

oh so innocent. You didn't know, you didn't realize yadda yadda yadda. Shut up and crawl back under the permafrost.

[Bluebear]

19. 'Shut up and crawl back under the permafrost. '

:spray:

[riverdeep]

20. Just have a committee investigate her.

It'll consist of Todd, Joe the Dumber, and Sean Hannity. She's been found innocent of all wrongdoing!

[NoGOPZone]

21. Maybe she should have asked for an Atlas instead nt

[SoCalDem]

22. A Diet Dr. Pepper wrapped in a Valentino leather jacket... nt

[NoUsername]

23. Hey now. Go easy on Palin.

She did fix one thing. Hillary said she put millions of cracks in the glass ceiling. Ol' Palin got right in their with her caulking gun and fixed that right up. It's going to take a helluva lot to even get near putting a crack in that ceiling again.

Thanks a lot Palin, you fucking Hillbilly Diva.

[TahitiNut]

24. Uh-huh. Sarah's so trustworthy that everyone should be convinced. Yup.

Everyone on the entire flat earth. :puke:

[canetoad]

25. So does the RNC

get to take back Tawd's silk boxer shorts?

[MadMaddie]

28. And if they would have won we would have been subjected

to more Drama. Thank goodness McCain/Palin got their asses got kicked.

[Rivethead]

30. No amount of fancy clothes can cover the fact that this bitch

wipes back to front.

Stupid fucking ugly whore.

[hamsterjill]

31. Memo to Ms. Palin

Dear Sarah,

You didn't win. Obama did. Now please do us all a favor and shut up, fade away, take some time and fix your family issues, and generally just GO AWAY!

[Orsino]

32. And she offered even less. n/t

[gratuitous]

33. I have seen her type

You'd better believe that she is quite frugal, as her mouthpieces and paid aides said. When it comes to sticking a crowbar into her own purse and prying loose a Lincoln (fiver, not a penny, those are all in a jar at home), ain't no way. But when she gets her mitts on someone else's money, credit card or expense account, it's laissez les bon temps roulez, baby! If you're smart, you recognize it early and watch her like a hawk. But she was only around for a couple of months, not nearly long enough to get a read on her, and barely long enough to get the first credit card statement.

[TexasObserver]

34. OMG! She's already got a product placement deal with Dr. Pepper!
