Are those donkeys?
The Caucus and Joshua Green follow up on this morning's Politico story about Sarah Palin's $150k wardrobe budget from the RNC. Based on the financial disclosure forms, it appears that the initial outfit outlay came from famed Republican operative and robocall expert Jeff Larson. The Atlantic has the documentation here.
(Larson is known for masterminding anti-McCain calls in South Carolina in 2000, and more recently for leasing his basement to MN Senator Norm Coleman for below-market rent...which Coleman didn't always pay on time.)
We suspect that Larson was more wallet than personal shopper for Palin's purchases. But based on the scarf in the photo above (taken yesterday at a rally in Reno, NV), we wonder if the stylist who did pick the new clothes has a sneaky sense of humor or just doesn't know anything about political mascots?

UPDATE: Are the clothes considered taxable income for Palin?
