When we last checked in on Sarah Palin's $180,000.00 RNC-funded wardrobe (back in January), the pricey thread

s were languishing in trash bags at RNC headquarters. It's March now, and Fox News has caught the scent of this story:(h/t HuffPo)

To my knowledge, the RNC donated the clothes, and in a quiet and respectful manner," Palin's spokeswoman, Meg Stapleton, told FOXNews.com in an e-mail Tuesday.

But a source close to the clothing discussion told FOXNews.com last Wednesday that the RNC had not donated the clothes and that the wardrobe has remained at the RNC since Nov. 7, when it was returned.

"A source close to the clothing discussion" is pretty vague, but the report goes on to say that the RNC has been mum about the garment gaffe.

Conservative website The New Majority should take some pride in the fact that they scooped Fox News by a month-and-a-half.

As a liberal, I love to recycle, and I believe my Top 5 Reasons the RNC Hasn't Sold Palin's Wardrobe still stand. I would also like to offer my services to the RNC, for a small percentage, in disposing of Palin's duds. Considering the audience for Palin-a-bilia, I expect it would be a hard sell, but not in theusual sense. Give me a week on Ebay, and you'll be able to fund primaries against anyone who steps out of line.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
