I got a real expensive shirt from bloomimgdales one time

. . . does that make me just like rich folks?


In her weekend interviews, (Ann) Romney assured Americans she was one of them, insisting in a chat with Fox News that she shops at Costco.

"We both love Costco," she said.

Her husband piped in: "She also got me one of these three-packs of shirts the other day from Costco. And they're very nice shirts."

Kirkland could be in trouble for in kind contributions. Worse yet, the Rombots might sue. After all, product placement is everything, isn't it?

fair wages and benes. CEO even told the shareholders to piss off when they expresed concerns over profit margin vs. treating employees well.

I'd bet anything that Romney's shirts are Turnbull & Asser and that the dude shops at J Press. I'd bet anything that they have and have long had, help in the house. I'd bet anything that Mitt and Ann don't do the grocery shopping.
