Newsweek published an article which includes further information about Sarah Palin's $150,000+ shopping spree. It was described by a McCain aide as, and I quote, "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast."
I hope that story, with that exact phrase, gets repeated. And repeated and repeated. And printed in all the newspapers of Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia. Arkansas and Missouri, too. Anywhere there are real, honest-to-God hillbillies, who mostly get ignored by the rest of the country anyway and die young from things like blacklung so the rest of you jackasses can have electricity, and are ingrained with the careful frugality of generations of their forbears.
I hope the people in those states understand the true significance of it. Perhaps I should spell it out.
Listen up, y'all. Never mind Sarah Palin. It's the choice of insult you should be paying attention to.
This is what they really think of you.

Rugged individuals these Beltway Republicans. When they think of a spade it is the card the draw for a flush. A hammer is what you use to drive people into submission, a scalpel is what they use to cut your heart out.
They took Sarah to Neiman Marcus as that is where they shop regularly, but heaven forbid Joe Six Pack enters the building. You only have a beer with him when you want his vote.
