Cindy McCain: Republican Elitism Revealed

From my fellow Culture Kitchen blogger, Liza:



Vanity Fair does the numbers on the "banana look" so you don't have to :

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

I am not necessarily against extravegant displays, but some $300,000 for one fucking outfit pisses me off. That is almost what I paid 8 years ago for a home for my family to live in in a good school district in Brooklyn. The McCains can put the same amount of money into one single outfit that I put into my family's home. That disgusts me! Talk about elitism!!! A single pair of McCain earings costs almost as much as my three bedroom Park Slope apartment cost 8 years ago. These are rich folk who don't understand what you and I have to deal with!
