What else could you do with US$150,000? That's the sum the Republican National Committee famously spent on wardrobe and makeup for Gov. Sarah Palin.

Contrast that with a registered nurse who can be outfitted in scrubs for just US$10 for a hospital shift. The same US$150,000 would outfit 15,000 RNs in scrubs, notes Geri Jenkins, RN, co-president of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee which sponsored the site, http://www.DressLikePalin.com.

How disgraceful at a time when so many Americans are struggling to pay their medical bills or keep their homes, Jenkins noted.

Palin's Tahari skirt suit alone = 60 RN scrubs.
