How Are All Those Manolo-Wolo's Workin' For Ya, Sarah?

[Paladin]

Far and away my favorite part of "Game Change," the Heileman/Halperin best-seller about the 2008 campaign, is on page 369. The scene: Sarah Palin in a hotel suite, desperately cramming for her convention debut---in between fashion fittings. Stylists and scared-shitless McCain staffers milling around, racks of luxury outfits everywhere, seamstress at a sewing machine, and this:

"Boxes of Manolo Blahniks were piled up four feet high and stretching twenty feet along one wall of the living room."

Manolo Blahnik dress shoes go for anywhere from $400 to $800 a pair, and up. Care to estimate the cost of a 4' X 20' block of those babies? Let's hear it for Sarah Palin, populist heroine.

Oh, and by the way---"Game Change" provides repeated, persuasive, scary evidence that Sarah Palin and mental stability don't practice at the same firing range.......

1. Blahnik probably comped all those shoes to Palin

Wanted to be the shoe maker of the new tea generation..

2. They only cost $1.00 a pair.

They all came from the Wasilla Salvation Army Thrift Store. So don't go attackin' Sarah.
