Looting Wasilla Hillbillies

An absolutely classic quote, courtesy of Matt T. Newsweek has discovered that the extent of Sarah Palin's clothing shopping spree is much greater than originally reported:

NEWSWEEK has also learned that Palin's shopping spree at high-end department stores was more extensive than previously reported. While publicly supporting Palin, McCain's top advisers privately fumed at what they regarded as her outrageous profligacy.

...

One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books.

Wasilla Hillbillies. That could be the name of a new Palin-based reality show. I guess the name fits...a pregnant teenage daughter, moose hunting from helicopters, and a whole passel-o-kids in tow.
