No wonder they thought Palin needed clothes

Blecchhh! This just in from Newsweek, which has released all the juicy tidbits it collected during the presidential campaign:

"At the GOP convention in St. Paul, Palin was completely unfazed by the boys' club fraternity she had just joined. One night, Steve Schmidt and Mark Salter went to her hotel room to brief her. After a minute, Palin sailed into the room wearing nothing but a towel, with another on her wet hair. She told them to chat with her laconic husband, Todd. 'I'll be just a minute,' she said."

You mean they didn't hire an aide to dry her off? 

Newsweek also quotes unnamed aides as saying that Palin's shopping spree cost "tens of thousands more" than the $150,000 copped to in financial disclosure statements and included massive purchases for Todd and the rugrats. One aide called it "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast."

OK, you tell us. Is this woman over?  Pretty please?
