Getting all she can get while the getting is good
This woman’s name is becoming synonymous with greed (besides hypocrisy and stupidity).
Sarah Palin showed her true coloursagain yesterday when she and 20 of her minions allegedly “cleaned out” one of those Oscar Gifting Suites.
“Gifting Suites” are a pretentiousname for hotel conference rooms turned into giant gift grabbing or swag centres for celebs. No one pays for anything, although they do have to pay taxes for all goods and services (or are at least supposed to) recieved.
(Side note – may I also just state how much I hate how the term “gifting” or “gifted” has caught on, as in “I gifted so and so with a new sweater”? It’s GIVE or GAVE people. Learn it, live it, love it. Ok, rant over. We now return you to our regularly scheduled bashing of Sarah Palin).
Apparently, Palin helped herself to clothing, cosmetics, jewelery, 40 pairs of headphones, and got her kid’s hair done. According to sources that were there she wouldn’t let anyone take her picture (lest she look greedy?) and refused interviews. One person described the scene as akin to watching locusts swarm.
Palin for her part, gave a $1700 donation to the Red Cross at the event, but since she and her posse left with several times that amount in swag, not to mention what she’s earning, it seems kind of stingy.
No idea why Palin, who has nothing to do with the Academy Awards was allowed into an “Oscar Gifting (ugh) Suite” in the first place. Perhaps it has something to do with that reality TV show she and producer Mark Burnett (Survivor) are shopping around to the networks?
