Palin vs. Maddow

Compare and contrast:

The Republican National Committee has spent more than $150,000 to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family since her surprise pick by John McCain in late August. (Politico)

On one side of [Rachel Maddow’s] still-bare office hang about a dozen suits in varying shades of black and gray, her on-air uniform.

“It is a rainbow of monochrome,” acknowledged Maddow, who dresses off-air like a gangly teenager in baggy jeans and sneakers. “I just want to meet a basic threshold of what you’re supposed to look like on television so it’s not a topic of concern or discussion.” (LA Times)

Clearly this means the American people would save money if Maddow was in the White House.

  1. Ha! If I were president, I’d save even more — all I wear are jeans shorts (Wranglers, not some hoity-toity brand) and T-shirts. If I need to dress up, I put on a polo shirt or plain, long-sleeve T-shirt.

    But, really, I don’t like wearing clothes, so think how much the government would save if the president didn’t wear anything? 8^)
