Cindy McCain Wore The Cost Of An Average House On Herself!

[slinkerwink]

I read this very interesting article at Vanity Fair about the outfits that Laura Bush and Cindy McCain wore at the first night of the Republican National Convention:

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

Oh my fucking god. How much more out of touch can Cindy McCain be? Now, with stagnant incomes and rising inflation and high mortgages, Americans can't even afford a house at $299,100-$313,000! Spread the word--this is ten times worse than McCain's $500 Italian pair of loafers.

1. spread the word today!

[Jennicut]

Disgusting, isn't it? And the clothes are ugly, too.

:puke: Her taste in fashion makes me want to do that.

7. No kidding - I thought Pickles had an off the rack from WalMart

That designer ought to be sued for fraud. He probably bought it for $20 at Wally and sold it for $2500 to Pickles.

16. Seriously - I have seen better from Oscar de la Renta

Michelle and Jill both looked beautiful and probably each wore the price of a NYC Rental, which is still alot but not like it's a fricking entire house.

2. Oy. Most excellent find!

[slinkerwink]

4. spread this to as many people as you can!

3. Her earrings were worth more than we paid for our house during the boom. n/t

5. OBSCENE

12. exactly

6. But... but.... but.... her daddy worked HARD bootlegging liquor for the MOB

to earn that money. How DARE you insult the beer heiress. HARRUMPH!

[mnhtnbb]

8. Woo-eee. That's a lot of beers on Cindy's ears!

[Sebastian Doyle]

9. Well... it was either that, or buy another house

And they can't keep track of the houses they already have.

10. But the Democrats are supposedly the elitists.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

11. Before I spread, I wonder if these are her personal jewels or just borrowed?

A lot of the over-rich borrow jewels and designer outfits for special occasions just so the designer/jeweler can get publicity when someone asks, "Where in the hell did you get that?", even though we know she can afford it.

13. Actually, McCain's watch is $70,000. It's a limited edition and there are only 7 like it the world.

Another is owned by the Queen Elizabeth II.

14. Those ugly clothes cost that much money? Cindy and Laura got robbed.

[knitter4democracy]

15. That's as much as Hubby's med school loans and our house combined!

I think we got the better deal, though.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. I am, hopefully, getting an awesome 3br,2.5bath,3c gar, 2550 sq.ft.

home for $190,000. Jeepers, with that I could buy the other one I liked too.

[unblock]

18. no wonder they can't keep track of their houses.

it depends on what they wear that particular day.

[thewiseguy]

19. Lets see if the MSM will report on this.

20. Matthew 19: 23-24

19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

21. ...and still looked like death.

Sorry, seemed like an unfinished thought.

22. The McCain's 8th house. How many houses does Cindy have hanging in her closet? n/t
