Is this what we want to base our election decisions on?

Sometimes, I think that the major media and the political punditry really have their priorities out of whack. Why else would we have to endure articles that criticize a candidate for the amount of money that they spend on their wardrobe?

[N]ews that the Republican National Committee (RNC) bought Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her family nearly $150,000 worth of clothing since September fueled charges of hypocrisy by her detractors and sparked questions about the legality of the expenditures.

Really? Why?

Consider it a campaign expenditure, similar to John Edwards’ haircuts at $200 or more a clip. Yes, I know that conservative commentators criticized Edwards for those haircuts, and that Rush still refers to him as “the Breck Girl”, but come on! This is ridiculous on both sides.
