One of the persistent memes in the Republican line of attack against Barack Obama is the notion that he is an elitist, whereas the G.O.P. represent real working Americans like Levi “F-in’ Redneck” Johnston.
It caught our attention, then, when First Lady Laura Bush and would-be First Lady Cindy McCain took the stage Tuesday night wearing some rather fancy designer clothes. So we asked our fashion department to price out their outfits.
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
Wow! No wonder McCain has so many houses: his wife has the price of a Scottsdale split-level hanging from her ears.
(All prices except Laura’s shoes and Cindy’s watch are estimates, and the jewelry prices are based on the assumption that the pieces are real.)

That much to look like a banana??
LOL
I’ve been wondering how much Cindy’s outfits have costed. At least Michelle Obama sets trends with her smart and affordable outfits. Have you noticed that the Palins seemed to have gotten a make-over?
A giant banana?
Teak:
you cannot makeover Sarah Palin…
I hate those Dracula collars that Cindy wears, ack!
Teak:
Is she trying to hide plastic surgery scars?
Perhaps she’s hiding other types of scars?
I’m guessing she’s filthy rich and miserable – she never looks happy to me. Just sort of “deer in headlights”….
I have to state – this woman screams “conspicuous consumption” …
Cindy looks beautiful and tasteful, she is creating her own look not riding on the success of past president’s wives. Her clothes are spectacular. She is a beautiful women
Isn’t covering an entire birthday suit of lizard skin with a $300,000 dress like “guilding the lily?”
