The liberal media has been working hard to manufacture a fake controversy about the RNC spending $150,000 on a temporary campaign wardrobe for Governor Sarah Palin.  You’d be hard-pressed, though, to find any mention of the $5.3 million the DNC spent on the one-time-use stage, complete with fake Greek columns, for Barack Obama’s arrogant nomination acceptance speech.

Governor Palin’s wardrobe will be donated to charity at the conclusion of the campaign. Obama’s stage was used once, for less than an hour, and then taken apart.

I wonder if any of the $5.3 million went toward the American flags the DNC later tossed into the garbage.

In its FEC filing, the host committee said it incurred $53.67 million in operating expenses and spent $53.86 million.

Most of that money went to pay expenses of the Democratic National Convention Committee, the party organization that staged the DNC. Nine percent of the host committee’s money went to pay its own expenses, which included salaries, marketing and staging various events off the convention grounds.

Convention expenses paid by the committee included $14.1 million for construction costs, including the stage and lighting, at the Pepsi Center and $5.3 million at Invesco Field.

The group said it has $7.1 million on hand but still is receiving invoices from contractors. It plans to file an updated report with those expenditures later.
