Her Frames (without lenses) $375., His Shoes $540...Yep, They're Just Average Americans

Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 11:46 PM by Me.

�The frames, which cost about $375 without lenses, are even part of the buzz at New York's Bryant Park Fashion Week.

"Like Jackie Kennedy wore with the pillbox hat her glasses will be a revolutionary thing to wear," said one designer.

Beyond aesthetics, Palin has practical reasons for wearing the glasses -- like focusing in on her prey while out hunting moose in Alaska ... and maybe even those political animals in Washington.�

1. More important is that Palin's net worth jumped to 10 million during her term as governor

Check the recently posted video in the video section for details.

3. Follow The Money

Thanks to you both, I did not know that. Now, where did she get 10 mil all of a sudden, that's the question that should be asked.

6. Yep

And if true, how did she get there. She and her husband earn approx. 200, 000 (combined_. How would that add up to 10 mil?

7. That would be explosive, and highly damaging to her, if true

But I did some Googling and could not substantiate this anywhere else on the internet.

I watched the video but it does not really prove anything as it is merely a montage of nasty claims about Palin with ominous-sounding background music.

Do you have any other links for this?

8. I agree on the shoes, but isn't that what a pair of quality (that will last with everyday use) cost?

I had lasik 8 years ago, but I recall my last pair of frames costing in the $400 range and my vision insurance covering most of it. If the insurance allowance was that high, and that was 8 years ago, it says to me that is what they cost. :shrug:

I think Palin is an average American. I don't want an "average" person assuming the second in command role in this country though.
