What part of 'small town values' was Sarah Palin's $2,500 RNC jacket part of?

I don't know many small town hockey moms who own $2,500 Valentino jackets?

Wake up, people. Anyone running for President or Vice President is NOT LIKE YOU...

They are, by nature, elite. Being elite isn't a bad thing. It's a good thing. But what is bad is playing the 'baby-holding, straight-talking, PTA-directing, hockey-momming' role when you're SWIMMING in cash and not feeling any of the effects of the downturning economy.

It's like that slumlord who parks his Mercedes 10 blocks from his tenement and changes out of his suit into overalls so that he can play the role of 'long-suffering small-business owner who's just like his tenants' to keep them from beating him to death for the lack of heat and hot water in December.
