Re:  "Republicans Take Heat for Palins' New Wardrobe"

I find it interesting that the Republican National Committee's $150,000 shopping spree for Sarah Palin's wardrobe is front page news.  While seemingly excessive to me, the money was donated voluntarily by contributors who trusted the RNC to spend the money wisely.  If any of these donors disagree with the RNC's spending habits, they can choose not to make donations in the future.  I find more newsworthy the billions of dollars each day wasted by the government on projects no less dubious in nature than a candidate's wardrobe.  Unfortunately, we as taxpayers are afforded no similar option of witholding future payment.

Sincerely,
