"Sarah Palin and the Priceless Wardrobe" Commentary

Maria’s commentary on “Sarah Palin and the priceless wardrobe” was an informative piece that highlighted Maria’s discontent with the media raping that Sarah Palin received for her $150,000 wardrobe. When Maria mentioned Hilary Clinton’s wardrobe I remembered how often I heard about her pantsuits when she was in the running. It seemed as if every time her name came up – somebody said “oooh I like those sexy pantsuits” jokingly or “she is definitely a dike, she just married Bill for his connections.” When applying for a job one is supposed to dress the part. (Especially a position in the public eye) In order for you to vote for Sarah Palin for Vice President, you have to picture her as a vice president. If she were to have toured the country in her sweaters with moose sewn on the front she wouldn’t have been taken seriously. I am not sure why Maria said, “I should be outraged, but I am not” yet goes on to talk about the benefits of Palin’s stylish eye. I don’t understand why anyone was outraged. Millions of dollars go into making commercials. Imagine how much money has been spent just to make sure that the Sunny D looks glowing. Palin is selling herself, it is only logical that she would need to spend money to look her best. I agree with Maria that Palin was simply trying to look vice presidential.
