Vanity Fair tallied up the cost of Cindy McCain's outfit on her night at the GOP convention:

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

Someone, ask her how many outfits does she own? I am waiting for her answer. This would pay my wages for several years. Just for an outfit. Where are her priorities? Eh?

1. That is the cost of our house times three...

:wow:

2. She's just one of us. No one feels our pain more than Cindy and John McCain...

...oh wait...

















I'm confusing my elites. That was Laura and George Bush who feel our pain. Cindy and John just go to one of their vacation homes to escape the pain and suffering of life in America.

Yeah, they're one of us. Ready to lead and fix the problems because they have so much *EXPERIENCE* in dealing with the same things all the rest of us poor dolts face every day, thanks to the Republicans. :eyes:

PATHETIC.

3. I never fault Cindy McCain - she does a ton of stuff for charity.

And has for a long time.

7. How about when she was stealing drugs from her charity to support her habit?

No fault there?

4. Wait a minute - she spent 3 grand on that lime green thing?

5. Gee, Let me see...

FUCK YES SHE IS ELITIST

Nothing but a freak show with all the glamor and glitter of Hollywood. Too bad they are not celebrities :rofl:

6. Silly-- don't you know elitism has nothing to do with vast wealth?

It has to do with your vocabulary, what books you read, etc.

My old dad who drove a street sweeper for 30 years was an elitist, you see, because he read books and had a problem with class privilege. Republicans can never be an elites, by definition.

8. I want the earrings.

But then, I always want earrings.

10. no offense...

but $280K for the earrings makes some huge assumptions about the diamonds and begs the question, was it 3 for the pair or 3 each?

11. I guess that's why she didn't have enough money left for some

good looking clothes for her daughter:
