Republican operatives have been dispatched to "retrieve" some of the clothes....

possibly worst detail ever.

My youngest uncle is a month younger than Obama and I always thought of him as being at the tail end of the Boomer generation. But I think mostly because he likes the Grateful Dead (to counter that he also is a big Clash fan which makes him seem to be more a part of my generation to me).

They have to figure out just what she has. Apparently, the $150K didn't include the 40K she spent on stuff for Todd, and there were various other purchases on scattered credit cards.

I think the Dead goes across generational lines. I know a lot of the people in my class loved the Dead. Hell, our Homecoming Queen our senior year wore Birks and flowers in her hair to coronation.

Of course, we were all unreconstructed stoner hippies in response to the moose-hunting Palins in our midst, so there's that.

Unless it's really, REALLY funny.

So the freepers find FOX too liberally biased now? That's awesome. Don't worry freepers, Palin will be back in 2012 for an amusing and unsuccessful run for the Republican nomination.

And apparently she was still receiving deliveries of tailored clothes after she announced that she had gone back to her consignment-shop clothing.

Frankly, I don't see how anyone bought that claim: if you watch how she's dressed, she's still dressed very well for the last two weeks of the campaign, much better than she did before she was nominated.

I'm really hoping she gets impeached when she gets home. Schadenfreude pie indeed.

A nice collection of post-election political cartoons.

I predict she replaces Stevens as Senator in a special election. Then she'll enter the Republican primary in 2012 where she'll get lots of press but very few delegates.

Doesn't Palin have to donate all her clothes and such now since they are no longer being used for the campaign?

I hear also a lot of it is "lost."

HAR.

This is the state that (probably) re-elected Stevens and Young (though FiveThirtyEight suspects election-rigging). Make no mistake, it's been known in-state for a long time that the politicians are on the take, and nothing has ever really been done about it because they bring home the bacon. Palin did win on a reform platform, but her numbers stayed high even when allegations came out against her. She brought a lot of dollars and attention to Alaska, and a lot of people are still very defensive of her. She might not get re-elected in 2010, but I doubt she'll get impeached.

Or this.
