Where's Palin's $150G Wardrobe? RNC Doesn't Say(FoxNews.com, March 3, 2009)Where is Sarah Palin's wardrobe? That's the $150,000 question.
The high-priced clothing the Republican National Committee bought for the Alaska governor's vice presidential run late last summer was donated to charity, as far as her spokeswoman knows. "To my knowledge, the RNC donated the clothes, and in a quiet and respectful manner," Palin's spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, told FOXNews.com in an e-mail Tuesday.
But a source close to the clothing discussion told FOXNews.com last Wednesday that
the RNC had not donated the clothes and that the wardrobe has remained at the RNC since Nov. 7, when it was returned. The RNC will not confirm whether it donated the various clothing and accessories it purchased for Palin at the start of her vice presidential run. And phone calls by FOXNews.com to local Washington charities that would accept women's clothing yielded no information.
RNC spokesman Alex Conant said three months ago that Palin had returned the wardrobe and that the clothing would be dispersed to charitable organizations. But after being questioned over the last two weeks about their whereabouts, Conant wouldn't say where the wardrobe may be. "I have nothing to add to that," Conant told FOXNews.com repeatedly when asked where the clothes have gone. Well, you can't say they didn't try to find out!
P.S. Since it's the Fox "News" site, the comments to this article are somewhat entertaining.
