The husband of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says the Republican Party's lavish spending on her wardrobe during the presidential campaign was "out of our control"
The husband of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin says the Republican Party's lavish spending on her wardrobe during the presidential campaign was "out of our control".
The buys were a stark contrast to Sarah Palin's image as a "hockey mom" who calls herself part of an average, middle-class American family.
Sarah Palin has said she neither wanted nor asked for the wardrobe.
Some of the clothing was returned immediately because it was the wrong size, or for other reasons, the McCain-Palin campaign said at the time. The Republican National Committee has said the remaining items would be donated to charity.
Todd Palin told the magazine that his wife had been through tough campaigns before becoming McCain's running mate.
"You got to remember, it's not like they just plucked us off the fishing boat with scales still under our nails, you know?" he said.
