It cost the Republican Party $150,000 to give Sarah Palin her look?

My 14-year-old son, Marc, is going out on Halloween dressed as Palin. He'll be wearing an $88 black dress that's been hanging in my wife's closet for two years, a wig that my wife bought him for $25 and a "Hockey Mom" button that we found online for $5.

That's a total of $118 (and only if you include the cost of the already-owned dress).

If the McCain-Palin people had just come to us first, we could have saved them $149,882. Just think how many more anti-Obama "robocalls" they could have bought with that money!
