Just How Hypocritical is Palin?

McCain's aides are mounting a nasty little war to scapegoat Sarah Palin for their boss's loss. Besides the stuff they leaked about her ignorance of international affairs, they are revealing more about that $150k plus spending spree:

As Michael Shear reported in The Washington Post, on top of the $150,000 first cited in F.E.C. filings, Palin spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on more clothes, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for the First Dude. The campaign was charged for silk boxers, spray tanners and 13 suitcases to carry the designer duds, Shear reported, adding that one source said, “She was still receiving shipments of custom-designed underpinnings up to her ‘Saturday Night Live’ performance” in October. Silk boxers and custom-designed underpinnings? Sounds like Sarah and Todd were treating the vice presidential run as a second honeymoon. (source)

This from a woman that kept claiming that she would eliminate government waste. I can understand them buying this stuff on their own dime--but to charge the campaign that was struggling to keep up with Obama's record breaking fundraising? And remember her promise to give away all the campaign clothes to charity with the race was through? Does that promise extend to Todd's silk boxers? I swear you can't make this stuff up!
