Moose Locusts

Sarah Palin and Entourage Descend like 'Locusts' on Oscar Swag Suite

The former Alaska Gov's Wednesday pigout included jewels from Pascal Mouawad, watches by Skagen and a fancy new hairdo for her daughter Willow. The new coiffure came courtesy of Erick Orellana, Jennifer Aniston's longtime hairstylist, witnesses said.

The Los Angeles Times reported Palin was supposed to donate all of her gift items back to the Silver Spoon Oscar Suite for auction, as well as $1,700 of her own cash, in support of International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies efforts in Haiti and Chile.

But E! Online insisted, "we can assure you she did not give up any of her swag."

The entertainment news outlet quoted an unnamed vendor who said that as many as 20 people from the Palin camp swarmed the event.

"They were like locusts," he said.

News of Palin's grabfest ignited the blogosphere.

"She insisted every person in her huge entourage get something, and there were assistants, nannies, security - insanity!," an unnamed HollywoodLife.com source said.

HollywoodLife.com also reported that Palin picked up a blue Kenya robe from designer Jenna Leigh, facewash and a pair of foam Bandal sandals.

"She kind of cleaned the place out," Ben Russo of EMC/Bowery told AOL's Pop Eater. The website said swag-grabs included 40 pairs of AIAIAI earphones.

One witness said security swept the venue and would not allow photos.

In an effort to come to a better spiritual plane, I'm working on being less sarcastic and judgmental.

But Lawd have mercy, that Snowbilly Grifter doth testeth my very soul!

The whole concept of swag bags and suites is kind of abhorrent in this day and age. Celebrities don't need free stuff and the concept that the teaming masses will want the stuff because a celebrity wears it doesn't speak well of *us*.

Wow, if true, another low for Palin.

True colors huh? didn't she get some heat about her clothes purchasing during the election too? There is nothing about this woman I like at all. It makes me wonder why some woman look up to her?

Yeah, she's such a piece of work. Anyone who still thinks that she's "just like me!" is rock stupid.

I saw her on Leno...she claims she is so maligned because nobody listens to her side and she never gets a chance to respond to criticism. Seems to me she lights the fires but leaves the area so fast to clean up at the next opportunity, that old Smokey just can't keep up with her fires. but even the bears in the park can't keep up with her unbridled greed.
I'm finding my Republican friends not supporting her anymore.
