You ready for this?  Pricing it out piece by piece, the cost of the outfit was between $299,000 and $313,000!  </p>
<p>From the article:<a href="http://www.jonlevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/for-web_82621223-thumb-242x378.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-57" title="for-web_82621223-thumb-242x378" src="http://www.jonlevine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/for-web_82621223-thumb-242x378-191x300.jpg" alt="" width="191" height="300" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Cindy McCain</strong><br />

<em>Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch:</em> $4,500<br />
<em>Three-carat diamond earrings:</em> $280,000<br />
<em>Four-strand pearl necklace:</em> $11,000–$25,000<br />

<strong><em>Total:</em> Between $299,100 and $313,100</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>I can totally see why they would call Obama an elitist.  I mean, sure, I figured the suits that he wears cost at least a half-a-million dollars.  Right?  I&#8217;m sure he goes into his favorite haberdasher and says, &#8220;I&#8217;ll take the one with the pinstripes.  Can you break a billion?&#8221;</p>
<p>Seven homes and $300K outfits&#8230; real &#8216;down-to-earth&#8217; folks these McCains are.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a chance that we&#8217;ll soon have a President who, admittedly, doesn&#8217;t know how to use a <a title="McCain can't use a computer" href=" http://video.yahoo.com/watch/1884558/6206369" target="_blank">computer or the internet</a> and a Vice President who&#8217;s been outside of this country exactly <a title="Palin sits tight" href="http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2008/09/03/palin_not_well_traveled_outside_us/" target="_blank">once</a>. Now, maybe it&#8217;s me, but I&#8217;m not OK with that.  </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t want this to come out as a rant against small towns in this country, but Sarah Palin was right:  small town people grow our food, work in our factories, and fight our wars.  They don&#8217;t run our multi-national corporations, govern our large cities or, if there is any such thing as good karma in this world, have the ability to make decisions that effect billions of people.   I&#8217;d rather leave that up to the well-educated, not the <a title="Palin as beauty queen" href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/29/sarah-palin-former-beauty_n_122400.html" target="_blank">barefoot beauty queens</a>.</p>
<p>This woman looks and sounds like a New Jersey soccer mom.  That&#8217;s great, I&#8217;m not against them.  I am, however, against a New Jersey soccer mom in the number two spot in the country.  Speaking of the way she sounds, I can totally see how badly <a title="SNL" href="http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/" target="_blank">Saturday Night Live</a> is going to make fun of her.  That nasally-annoying voice and robotic speaking pattern. I can&#8217;t wait.  But, I digress.</p>
<p>If the rest of the country can&#8217;t see through this sham, I feel sorry for us.  If the McBush/Stalin ticket is elected, we deserve everything we get.</p>
<p>Oh, and by the way:  they keep showing <a title="Hot preggo teens" href="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN2944356420080901" target="_blank">Bristol</a> and her new &#8216;fiance&#8217; (who I&#8217;m sure just JUMPED at the chance to marry her&#8230; must have been the shotgun pointed at him) on TV.  Such a good looking, well-mannered young man.  Here&#8217;s excerpts from his <a title="My babydaddy" href="http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2008/09/palin-daughters-babydaddy-some-dude-named-levi-reports-enqui.php" target="_blank">MySpace profile</a>.  Yeah, good luck with that.</p>
