Here's a helpful hint for you, Sarah.

Since you're having trouble sorting through your clothing to determine what belongs to you:

Palin's father, Chuck Heath, said his daughter spent the day Saturday trying to figure out what belongs to the RNC.

"She was just frantically ... trying to sort stuff out," Heath said. "That's the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for.

If it's made of polarfleece, looks like chintz upholstery, or has CKrystal Krystle Carrington-worthy shoulder pads, it's yours.

Sounds like Todd's gotten used to wearing silk boxers.

jesus h christ, get a load of this:

"Mr. Bush called [Obama] over, introduced him to Laura Bush, got some hand sanitizer from an aide, and offered it to the bemused Illinois senator.

"Good stuff, keeps you from getting colds," the president said. "Not wanting to seem unhygienic," Mr. Obama wrote, "I took a squirt."

LOWLIFE!

damn, forgot to add my name to the above.

[Caveat]

They didn't even buy their own underwear? Worse, somebody wants it back? This clothing thing is so weird.

[amused]

So, they're finally catching on that "dressing the candidate for the campaign trail" didn't mean that everybody in the entourage gets new silk undies?

I'm sorry, I haven't bought new undies in more than a year, and I can tell you which ones are the newest. It's not rocket science.

I'm also wondering about the new glasses she had for one event (I think it was for the VP debate, but I honestly don't remember, because everything with her has blurred into a whirl between real & frightenly imaginary and Tina Fey). She had new ones on, and I was pissed because they looked very similar to ones I'd just bought the day before. I haven't seen her wear them since that one day... and I couldn't help but wonder if she got herself some new specs and had to return them due to the angry donor.

Heck, it's a surprise she didn't get freakin' lasik on the RNC's dime while she was at it.

Dependably, via DKos:

Secret Service code names are often thought to be revealing of a president's character, so if you're expecting big changes, you might be pleased that the code name for President-elect Obama is Renegade. The rest of the new first family gets matching "R" names: Michelle Obama is "Renaissance," Malia is "Radiance" and little Sasha is "Rosebud." ...

Heck, it's a surprise she didn't get freakin' lasik on the RNC's dime while she was at it.

Good luck giving that one back!

[amused]

I am curious - do the men who get new suits for the campaigns also have to return them or claim them as a campaign gift or expense?

While it sure sounds like she went all Wasilla Hillbilly shopping spree (as that fabulous quote by a McCain insider indicated), I am curious if it's normal that the campaigns dress the candidates for the campaign, then take it all back. Or, is it just one really super pissed-off RNC donor who wants to punish Palin for her super-rogue exploitation of his/her generosity?

I'd bet the RNC donor could auction off some of the duds for some good cash for charity...

[amused]

punaise - it's funny, when Palin first hit the campaign trail, Nina Garcia (ed. of Vogue and well-known critic on Project Runaway) said, in an exasperated tone, "she NEEDS lasik!" I've been surprised Sarah didn't just hop right out there and git herself some mavericky eye surgery.

[Doris Ziffel]

Nice to see Sarah is keeping busy with sorting clothes. Meanwhile, Hopey and Michelle are touring the White House.
Suck it, Sarah, you race-baiting ignoramus.

"that's the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear..." quoth grandpater Heath.

Yup, there ya go, Bristol-- losing underwear hither and yon will get a gal in trouble.

[amused]

This gave me the best hearty belly laugh of the day:

Some dude (Mark Murray, deputy news director of MSNBC.com) is on Shuster's show right now. He's talking about how Sarah Palin will be on tomorrow's "Today Show" with Matt Lauer interviewing her tomorrow. Murray, in a deadpan voice, said (paraphrased),
"You know, it's only been a week since the election. THe problem is, there's a little too much exposure. You could make the case she's doing all of these interviews - and we journalists love interviews - but is it the politically savvy thing to do right now..."

Heh! Sarah Palin and politically savvy in the same sentence? Um, I would think that it is clear that she is less than politically savvy.

I guess Sarah just doesn't understand big-city politics. She thinks talking more is going to help her political future, even though every time she opens her mouth, she makes a bigger mess. Perhaps political acumen is just as confusing to her as sorting out the 2 month old silk underwear from the older stuff.

[watertiger]

I'm thinking that losing her underwear is what got Bristol into trouble.

[UhhhDude]

Um, silk boxers and white cotton briefs are very easy to sort out.

And if you're looking for your clothes, Governor, check the ones that have a kmart label inside. You know, the ones that are 65% polyester.

[punaise]

amused - dontcha think a Bismarkian monocle might have given her some internationalist gravitas? :~)

[watertiger]

gah. Touche, Saturn!

[punaise]

I don't know about silk boxers, but Palin should be up to her ears in briefs. legal briefs.

[punaise]

speaking of K-Mart and undies, check out SF Chronicle music writer's intro to a brief album review:

So the only way you can get the Christina Aguilera greatest-hits album is by going to Target, which is fine because everyone can use an excuse to stock up on Pringles, tighty-whities and overstyled kitchen tongs that fall apart after one week....

[jp]

Palin just lies and lies and lies. Just 2-3 days ago she was whining that all she got out of the campaign was a diet Dr. Pepper. Now we're supposed to feel sorry for her because she had to sort through all the nonexistent clothing she never got.

[amused]

punaise - you're probably right. However, the problem is that Saks didn't have any Versace-made Bismarkian monocles that came in a fashionable diamond-encrusted carrying case.

Maybe if she didn't have to keep preparin' for all those gotcha-media interviews and debates and whatnot, she would have had more time for shoppin' for more fashionable eyewear.

I wonder if she'd have been able to keep a better eye on Palin's big rearing head over Russia if she had a monocle. Perhaps she could've seen the entire dustup between Georgia and Russia comin'...

However, perhaps her true image would be best reflected with this eyewear.

(Dang, I wish I had Photoshop. I'd put her in a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey and a hockey visor. She's certainly taking a lot of hip checks from former McCain staffers!)

[HarpoSnarx]

Oh great having their code names public already gives me a warm fuzzy.

[Elliott]

They've known for a long time the stuff had to be returned, why is she now sorting through it frantically?

I hope the IRS nails the lot of them.

[sukabi]

Gee, didn't Sarah say all those clothes were left "in the belly of the plane" and didn't make it up to Alaska???

Guess she lied about that too.

[Shayera]

How do you just randomly lose underwear? I know they were traveling a lot, but doesn't anyone check before they leave the hotel room? Sheesh!

[Buckeye ...]

Being anal here, but it's Krystal Carrington.

Why do I know this?

[wa ching]

"Did you notice my tits?"
