Hillary Spends Alot on Shoes

In June 1999, Hillary Clinton was in Palermo, Sicily as her husband was in that Italian city for the summit meeting - and she sure didn't waste any time.
Hillary - like any bored housewife dragged along on a business trip by her husband - went shopping.
More specifically, Hillary shopped for shoes - the same expensive Bruno Magli brand preferred by O.J. Simpson. She bought 18 pair of pumps for a total of $5,000 - some at the company's boutique in Palermo, others when she requested a private showing in her hotel suite.
The Bruno Magli company reports that Hillary has been a loyal customer for many years.
A press release by Bruno Magli says that lots of famous Americans wear its shoes - but it names only Hollywood celebrities and doesn't name any politicians.
Maybe that's because voters would question the common sense of any woman who paid $277.78 for a pair of shoes when she could have bought Easy Spirit pumps for $69 at any department store in America. Maybe that's because voters would question the common sense of any woman who spends more per pair of shoes than the average woman spends each month on her car payment; a new Toyota Camry leases for $269 a month, no down payment. Maybe that's because voters would question how such a woman could possibly relate to the problems of Real Americans.
Hillary is either America's Marie Antoinette - or its Imelda Marcos.

$5,000.00 worth of Bruno Magli shoes, Oscar de la Renta gowns, Caroline Herrera dresses, Christoph hairdressers and makeup artists, jewelry courtesy of Borsheims and Arafat. All that and her husband takes up with a chubby intern half her age in a Gap dress. You know what, every now and then there is some justice in this world. FOFL.

The last thing she needs is to draw attention to her lower extremities.

Hillary spends alot on shoes because she needs them quite large. I'm sure that she spends alot on gloves as well. Remember what they say about big hands and big feet?

When has Hillary ever cared about what the voter thinks or bought anything with her own money? Oh I forgot, the cattle futures she did make a profit on those. NOT!
I wonder if Imelda ever thought she would be caught? Hillary is definately an Imelda Marcos.
IMELDA MARCOS Beauty Queen / Tyrant
Imelda Marcos was once the 'Steel Butterfly,' the beautiful wife and confidante of Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos. The Marcos regime (1965-86) was marked by corruption, political repression and gross financial shenanigans, acts to which Imelda was almost certainly privy. The Marcoses were finally deposed and fled to Hawaii, where Ferdinand died in 1989. Imelda Marcos later returned to the Philippines and, in spite of everything, was elected a legislative representative from her native district of Leyte. In October of 2001 she was arrested and charged with corruption and amassing wealth illegally during her husband's regime.

Oh Snow Bunny...... What a waste - all she wears is that yucky black pantsuit. I bet she sells her shoes on eBay under an assumed name. She's so tacky. Meow.

Those aren't Hillary's legs - they are much too nice.

Maybe that's because voters would question the common sense of any woman who paid $277.78 for a pair of shoes...No, she didn't but A pair - she bought 18 pairs of 'em! That kinda loot gets ya a decent used car!

I can't believe it. It took 46 posts before I am pinged on a thread about Hillary and shoes. Someone is asleep at the switch.
BTW, having followed Hillary's Italian shoe buying binge, I will report that all of her shoes were of the EXACT same style. One inch low heeled pumps, most of them were black.
And now for some pictures of my shoes :)
To: NC Conservative
Maybe she can find a good pair of Bruno prison shoes.
