Hillary Clinton designer finds Palin's wardrobe spending strange

Washington, Oct 23 : Hillary Clinton's pantsuits designer thinks that it would be unusual for a candidate as famous as Sarah Palin to need to buy clothes.

Republican National Committee has spent up to 150,000 dollars on the vice Presidential nominee's wardrobe and makeup, since she became John McCain's running mate.

However, one of the most famous political fashion designers of the year, Susanna Chung Forest, says that she finds the spending strange.

"Why do you need to pay for it?" CBS News quoted Forest, as saying.

"It's an honour, you are going to design for someone who could be the president of the United States," she added.

The McCain-Palin campaign issued a statement shortly after the expenditure report appeared online.

"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it's remarkable that we are spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses. It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign," said spokesperson Tracey Schmitt.
