One of the persistent memes in the Republican line of attack against Barack Obama is the notion that he is an elitist, whereas the G.O.P. represent real working Americans like Levi “F-in’ Redneck” Johnston.

It caught our attention, then, when First Lady Laura Bush and would-be First Lady Cindy McCain took the stage Tuesday night wearing some rather fancy designer clothes. So we asked our fashion department to price out their outfits.

Laura Bush
Oscar de la Renta suit: $2,500
Stuart Weitzman heels: $325
Pearl stud earrings: $600–$1,500
Total: Between $3,425 and $4,325

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100

Wow! No wonder McCain has so many houses: his wife has the price of a Scottsdale split-level hanging from her ears.

(All prices except Laura’s shoes and Cindy’s watch are estimates, and the jewelry prices are based on the assumption that the pieces are real.)

It's not that The Joker's gay. What he is, is Batsexual. He'd be whacking it to Batsy whether our hero had girl parts or boy parts underneath that rubber.

I'd wear Cindy's dress if I had the money.

BUT

That's not the thing to be parading around in if you're going to be presenting yourself as on level with Joe and Jane Average. And especially not if a major part of your attack strategy on the opposing side is their elitism.

um that (or how I read this thread) is $300 000 for the dress
not $3000

so unless you earnt $307 000 USDollars last year it may put things into focus a little.
alternately , If I'm wrong and you did earn US$307 000 last year we might look at a licensing agreement for your sig, Catholic Worker always needs funding from the well off!

dress/outfit

= all the same when your married with 5 and hence have the fashion style of tracksuit trou and football team

thanks for clearing the confusion up, bottom line is $300 000 wearing out is beyond my comprehension but so is a $60 000 car.

but not a $4500 Bass Guitar!
