Palin sorting through her clothes
WASILLA, Alaska -- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin spent part of the weekend going through her clothing to determine what belongs to the Republican Party after it spent $150,000-plus on a wardrobe for the vice presidential nominee, according to Palin's father.
Palin campaign faced a storm of criticism over the tens of thousands of dollars spent at such high-end stores as Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus to dress the nominee and her family.
Palin's father, Chuck Heath, said his daughter spent Saturday trying to figure out what belongs to the RNC.
''She was just frantically . . . trying to sort stuff out,'' Heath said. ''That's the problem, you know, the kids lose underwear, and everything has to be accounted for.
''Nothing goes right back to normal,'' he said.
Heath dismissed the controversy as ''ridiculous'' and said his daughter told him the only clothing she purchased in months was a pair of shoes.
