Todd Palin Explains the 150K Wardrobe

First Dude Todd Palin, in the May issue of Men's Journal, claims that the six-figure sum spent on Gov. Sarah Palin's wardrobe, makeup and winking workshops during the 2008 campaign was "out of our control" since (a) the former vice presidential candidate was absorbed in preparations for her debate against Vice President Joseph Biden and (b) he was busy buddying around with the Secret Service--who totally love him, by the way.

"You come into a campaign late, you put all your trust into the team, you got people who are working on VP ops for a long time, and we're just focused on debate prep," Mr. Palin said, according to the AP. "I couldn't give a rat's (expletive) about clothes. Please. I mean these are my Sunday go-to-meeting jeans!"

Which brings up two crucial questions:

1. What are Sunday go-to-meeting jeans? and
2. What can I do to never accidentally buy a pair?

In addition to the aw-shucks head-scratching over the wardrobe controversy, Mr. Palin had a few anecdotes about his temporary Secret Service protection during the campaign.

"They liked cruising around with me," said the former champion snowmobile racer, "because we went to the Arctic Cat snowmachine factory and then drove up to North Dakota, went to a Penn State-Michigan football game, went to a NASCAR race."

As fun as that sounds, is it really better than Jenna Bush duty?
