Appears to be a $150,000 wardrobe. Since August, 2008.
The cash expenditures immediately raised questions among campaign finance experts about their legality under the Federal Election Commission's long-standing advisory opinions on using campaign cash to purchase items for personal use. Politico did pursue the McCain campaign for comment, however, spokeswoman Maria Comella said “The campaign does not comment on strategic decisions regarding how financial resources available to the campaign are spent." So, dressing the Vice Presidential Candidate to look like Tina Fey is a strategic decision?
I guess it's more important to dress well than it is to actually have a point of view and intellectual curiosity. This bizarre form of window-dressing has caused real Republicans and real Conservatives to re-think their alliegence to a candidacy that prefers lies and innuendo to common decency. It motivated 4-Star General and former Secretary of State Colin Powell to break ranks with the Republicans and endorse Obama. It moved Christopher Buckley to endorse Obama. Chris Buckley, son of the father of Modern Intellectual Conservativism William F. Buckley, wound up being booted from the magazine his father founded, The National Review for his obviously socialist leanings.
Look, it takes more than spending $75,062.63 at Nieman Marcus or $49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenue to make a campaign work. Perhaps Republican donors should ask for a refund?

Sgt. Pecker's Neo-Con Club Band
image from RobertRouse
It was 27 years ago today
Sgt Pecker taught the band to play
We've been going in and out of style
But you're guaranteed to make us smile
So may I introduce to you
The act we want to really screw you
Sgt Pecker's NeoCon Club Band
We're Sgt Pecker's NeoCon Club Band
We really do enjoy our show
We're Sgt Pecker's NeoCon Club Band
Sit back and let the country go
Sgt. Pecker's NeoCon, Sgt. Pecker's NeoCon,
Sgt. Pecker's NeoCon Club Band.
It's wonderful to be here,
It's certainly a thrill.
You're such a lovely audience,
We'd like to keep the White House ours,
We'd love to keep that home.
I don't really want to stop the show,
And I really don't care what you know,
But the singer's going to sing a song,
And he wants you all to doze along.
So let me introduce to you
The one and only 43
And Sgt. Pecker's NeoCon Club Band.
And if you need more information:

Ode to Okjimm, Secretary of Beer, Donuts and Refreshments

Nobody works harder than my Secretary of Beer, Donuts and Refreshments, Okjimm! He manages to cover a variety of important food-related issues, including free beer, root beer, donuts and cheese for everyone.
But more important, he was able to sneak into the Sturgis Rally for McCain, and he heard all kinds of important

Meanwhile, my Secretary for UFOS, that Texas Oasis, Blueberry, has been looking into the place where all of John McCain's speeches come from.
