A $150,000 Illegal Mistake� October 22, 2008 � 14 Comments Normally I could care less about the Palin wardrobe, but Ambinder confirms I a suspicion I had this morning when I heard that she�d used $150,000 in campaign dollars had been used to buy her clothes from Saks and Nieman Marcus. That its not a legal expenditure. Under prohibited uses of Chapter 14 of the U.S. Code for use of contributions for certain uses we see: (b) Prohibited use (1) In general A contribution or donation described in subsection (a) of this section shall not be converted by any person to personal use. (2) Conversion For the purposes of paragraph (1), a contribution or donation shall be considered to be converted to personal use if the contribution or amount is used to fulfill any commitment, obligation, or expense of a person that would exist irrespective of the candidate�s election campaign or individual�s duties as a holder of Federal office, including- (A) a home mortgage, rent, or utility payment; (B) a clothing purchase; (C) a noncampaign-related automobile expense; (D) a country club membership; (E) a vacation or other noncampaign-related trip; (F) a household food item; (G) a tuition payment; (H) admission to a sporting event, concert, theater, or other form of entertainment not associated with an election campaign; and (I) dues, fees, and other payments to a health club or recreational facility. emphasis mine. I mean, that looks pretty black and white to me, though I�m sure a large number of campaign lawyers will be backing me up or explaining to me why I�m wrong shortly. Not that blowing $150,000 on outfits for the campaign for the presidency from the party where fiscal conservatism is supposed to matter was such a hot move anyways. Between this and Troopergate, Palin has already committed more provable crimes in office in 2 years than can be proved than of the� accusations made of George W. Bush in 8 years. Change we can believe in. http://outtheotherear.wordpress.com/2008/10/22/a-150000-illegal-mistake/

Lets discuss fact "THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation." http://www.nypost.com/seven/10212008/gossip/pagesix/room_disservice_134490.htm

Got the hairs on a big boy last year but didn't take the shot...
I know what bush he was under and I'll be in the same valley...

will all the trolls just go away after Obama loses, or will they hang around and stink up the place through hunting season?

[bleep]' facts and the Constitution, never have stopped a liberal and socialist from trying.
To date, they ain't succeeded, though the current cheerleaders certainly hope they do.
That this country's tree of liberty is in serious need of watering, remains a given.

The Communist Party is very experienced at silencing their enemies.

Steve,
Boy gonna shoot the Hornet again this year? No, that little rifle is kind of retired...I may put the pistol grip and 14 inch .223 barrel back on it for a nutria enforcer. My boy is taller than me now, and he'll be shooting the 7x57 Mauser his grandpa Muddywaters gave him last year, lucky devil:
