Women in the Senate have many more choices. Suits, Dresses, PantSuits, some mix of them. Of all the women Senators, I think Diane Finestein has best solved the problem of how to meet standards, but look comfortable and herself. She tends toward plain tailored solid color dresses, topped with interesting jackets and sometimes smocks — all of which have big pockets solving the problem of having “stuff” but not taking a purse on to the floor, which is apparently a no-no. I mentioned this to Amy Klobuchar late last spring — I thought she looked too uptight in her suits left over from her court appearances as DA. I really think a woman Senator needs a good dressmaker, who can take interesting fabric and run up one of a kind outfits, altering a few basic patterns so as to achieve variety, and a striking overall appearance. Gets around the problem of wearing the same “off the rack” outfit as someone else, and is probably a good deal less expensive than shopping at the high end stores.

Over the years I’ve done much shopping at an out of the way hole in the wall (Opus) that takes shop-worn inventory from Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus, and sells it at 80-90% discount. If you are clever enough to sew up a split seam, or search for a missing button, you can really do yourself up quite nicely on a middle class budget. Of course when you go shopping, you never know exactly what you will bring home — hit and miss, and hope what you think matches up, actually does. I think they should have taken Sarah to Opus. Their problem was, essentially, that Sarah was going to stand next to Cindy — and they had to level the difference.

No wonder her kids are all f’d up.

F that. You don’t know her kids and neither do I, and either way, F talking about that.

Her daughter got pregnant? Is it F’d up for 17 year old girls to have sex? Maybe.. it sure wasn’t when I was a 17 year old boy.

Get off the kids.

Just think how many robocalls the RNC can’t make for every $10,000 dress, for every $1,000 donkey scarf….

“Oh, I guess just people who think that they’re better than anyone else…. So anyone who thinks that they are — I guess — better than anyone else, that’s — that’s my definition of elitism,” Palin replied.

Her schoolroom dramas on a national platform.

If that happens – and it’s a Real Possibility if Todd got the Grimes Document from Wooten’s Personnel File – then McCain has No One to blame for his Poor Judgment in picking her to be his running mate, except himself.

Her indictment would be his indictment, too.

For a look at Sarah’s sophisticated view on Power, check-out her reasoning at 1:10+ of this segment of the Couric Interview.

So, in Sarah’s World, Todd pre-emptively attacking ‘the bad guys’ – like Wooten – shouldn’t be ’second guessed,’ because she ‘knows’ Todd, her Ally, is ‘a good guy.’
