CNBC: A gift that keeps on giving for Palin.

Will we ever stop talking about Sarah Palin's clothes? The latest news on her wardrobe comes from Palin herself.

Ethics disclosure forms recently obtained under the Freedom of Information Act contained this oddity: $300 in clothes and footwear from ... CNBC.

Turns out that the network's Maria Bartiromo sat down with the Alaska governor in August, just days before she became John McCain's running mate.


The interview about oil, energy and drilling was conducted in Palin's Anchorage office, where she wore her own suit and high heels, according to CNBC sources.

The producers asked to continue the interview in the oil fields; since Palin didn't have outdoor gear at the office, a CNBC assistant raced out to buy a jacket and hiking shoes for the location shoot.

The network didn't give it another thought, but Palin dutifully reported it as a gift on her disclosure form.

Next time, give the producers a house key and tell them where the sock drawer is.

They will find some clothing.

Anyone having things in the house that should not be seen by a news crew should not be running for office anyway.
