Clothes Spending Spree 'Out of Our Control:' Todd Palin

Share

(Newser) – Todd Palin says the $150,000 spending spree that outfitted his wife during last fall’s campaign was “out of our control,” the AP reports. “You come into a campaign late,” he told Men’s Journal. “You put all your trust into the team.” At least his Secret Service detail had a good time. “They liked cruising around with me,” describing trips to “the Arctic Cat snowmachine factory” and a NASCAR race. “Rough duty, hanging out with me.”

When questionable actions occur and the Palins are involved. It's always someone elses fault. The liberal press, a team they trusted, etc. For these two scapegoats around every corner. Reply
