When the RNC offered to buy her all those clothes, I wonder if, before accepting them, she said "Thay-inks, but no thay-inks."
Re: donating them to charity, I think she said "return them or donate to charity." Now it's not uncommon, but at least a little skeevy, for an ordinary clerk or shopgirl to "return" the LBD she "bought" for a one night big event, but how do you suppose those fancy stores are going to like it when La Palin's personal assistant shows up at the Returns counter the second week in November with a bunch of her fancy campaign threads?
Although that's not as amusing as imagining the stuff donated to charity, because the women at, say, Rosie's Place, yeah what they really need are some $5,000 outfits. "Oh, no!" you cry, "you misunderstand. She will donate them to charities to be auctioned off."
Ah, yes, that is much better. Because now I'm thinking about who will bid on the outfits. That's exactly what wealthy banker-class Republican women will want to wear to the country clubs this season: Moose-shootin' Sarah's Duds of Defeat. She's so their kind of people, and the campaign is one they'll want to remember.
Maybe she could peddle them to The Hollywood Elite she's been so sweet to these last weeks? That'd be something at the Oscars in January, wouldn't it? One star after another coming on-stage in a Previously Palin?

Maybe Tina Fey would be interested?
