Palin's Autographed Pumps Net Two Grand
Like the little vignettes that appear at the end of movie credits, the family of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin finds new and exciting ways to make Election 2008 keep on giving. What could it possibly involve now?Try a pair of red, Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps.
According to Alaska's KTUU.com, an individual claiming to be Sarah Palin's niece posted a pair of red (I'm repeating myself) Naughty Monkey Double-Dare pumps (because it sounds so great) on eBay and wound up pocketing $2,025. The shoes normally sell for around $100. I don't know about you, but that sounds to me like one heckuva naughty monkey.
According to the auctioneer, the shoes were not purchased "by the Republican National Committee," i.e. during Gov. Palin's infamous shopping spree, but rather at a Juneau store. As part of the auction agreement, Sarah Palin will personally autograph the shoes for the winning bidder. Is that "Mitchell" or just "Mitch?"
But, haven't we seen these shoes before? Back in October, the Naughty Monkey company reported a spike in sales after Gov. Palin wore in a pair of double-buckled Naughty Monkey shoes when McCain introduced her to the world as his VP pick.

I'm thinking the ruby red slippers from "The Wizard of Oz" here - only sluttier. Somehow I don't think these will end up in the Smithsonian Institute, though.

if a woman can auction herself off to the highest bidder, to have the losing of virginity have value.
then so what if they sell these shoes.
at least the selling of these shoes is not an illegal, act.
and frankly a much better buy..

How low can we go? This has become the kind of thing we value? I guess if you haven't got a lot to offer, something mindless will do. What a shallow money-grubbing society we have become.

I wonder What we can get for the flight suit John McCain was wearing when he killed those 168 American sailors on the USS Forrestal?

She should have sold the $180,000 in clothes the RNC bought for her.
They are sitting in trash bags in a closet at the RNC headquaters.

Whatever, but before you get critical as a reporter
you should first learn how to spell. Yes I'm a Sara Palin Supporter. I'm a Teacher. Can I teach you a new word today? Republican. Maybe you should pratice writing that word on your Board.
Do people actually pay you to report this trash online?

You are a moron, why don't you get your dam facts straight before posting such idiotic comments as this. McCain had nothing to do with that incident.
