Spinning the elites

Anybody who buys the BS that Barack Obama is an elitist needs to explain what that makes John and Cindy McCain.
Those Democratic Elitists?

Vanity Fair:

Cindy McCain’s first night of Republican National Convention outfit:
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. That’s about 60 times the health care credit McCain proposes to give families for a year. And according to Huffington Post, George W. Bush helped cover the expense:

According to an analysis by the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the McCains have received $313,413 thanks to George Bush’s tax cut.

A quarter-of-a-million dollar outfit? Well, I guess they could be cubic zirconias.
