New Details On Palin Shopping
(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
The rush purchases were made starting Labor Day weekend immediately after Palin was named as a running mate for John McCain. If the purchases had not been made in such a short period of time, stylists could have saved between 20 to 50 percent off the retail costs through industry discounts. These kinds of shopping excursions are not unusual for high profile figures where, for example, stylists will typically buy three sizes and three different styles of a sweater and later return excess clothes.
However, CBS News has learned the $150,000 includes deductions for clothes that were returned, meaning the total cost of the shopping excursions exceeded $150,000. The accessories and clothing did not include jewelry or watches.
It was previously reported by the other news organizations that $4,902.45 was spent at Atelier supposedly for Todd Palin but that bill was in fact expenditures for Sarah Palin.

See all 450 CommentsHey guys, ask yourself this question: who is the only one in this election who IS NOT a millionaire? Who paid for Hillary''s hair and makeup? Who paid for John Edwards haircuts?
Now as catmill says, they say one thing and do another..may I refresh your memory? Senator Obama said on 1/22/06(MTP) that he "would serve his full term in the Seantor before thinking of running for any other office. He would "abosolutely not run for President or Vice President in 2008"; 9 months later, he did a complete about face, so basically he lied. He also said he would only accept public campaign funds,he would do town meetings with John McCain, he also said Bill Ayers was "just a guy in his neighborhood". He did not keep his word, he changes his story, etc. So if you actually believe he is going to keep to one of his campaign promises, think long and hard about his history using "words". He is more guilty of saying one thing and doing another than John McCain has done in his 20 years in the Senate.
Why not complain about the clothes all the talking heads get to wear when they are in the public eye? They don''t pay a penny for them and neither did Gov. Palin; the difference is she will be giving them back and they will be auctioned off and proceeds to charity or they will be directly donated to charity.(This decision was made long before Ms Katie "suggested"it, so don''t give her credit)
How about the nice bling around Katie''s neck at the Al Green dinner? Who paid for that?
Give it a rest, it is comical and all us conservatives are enjoying the fumbling idiots making such a big deal over nothing.
who Obama stands for. I question his religous beliefs and also his beliefs in America. I have always been a Christain and I have always been proud to be an American.
Sounds like Sara got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and now is saying "No I didn''t!"
CBS needs to retract this story and APOLOGIZE to the public, and, put it on the FRONT PAGE for THREE DAYS....the same amount of time they posted this pos lie on the front page.
The details of the story, the truth, has been reported by other news outlets,and it turns out that Palin did not accept or returned MOST OF THE WARDROBE!!!!!
CBS, SHAME ON YOU!
And, all you monkey braindead posters...
HA
HA
HA!
This is the way our country is supposed to be run.
We need to have our upper class spend so that the common people benefit. Sarah''s shopping has helped dozens of sales people and hundreds of sweatshop garment workers.
The system works !! Bigger tax breaks will trickle down and help yacht builders and domestic servants across the country
McCain & palin are out of touch with real America. Tat''s why I am voting OBAMA/BIDEN.
