Barack Obama is a big elitist:
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
Dumping your ailing wife who stuck by you while you were a POW for “a marriage of convenience” with an hieress who could fund your rise to the top of the party of moralizing “family values”: priceless.
… Elsewhere, Jilted Mittens attacks Al Gore for frivolously using a private jet. But Al Gore does not own a private jet. Jilted Mittens was probably thinking of the private jet of Cindy McCain, John McCain’s ludicrously wealthy second wife, which John gets to borrow when he’s not calling her “trollop”, “cunt”, or using other British and/or archaic insults.

Yeah, but Obama owns a house! And he worked for his community!

Plus Sarah Palin. Huh. Huh. Palin.

Editors, this is only marginally on topic, but I’d like to submit this for your consideration of how to define Sarah Palin:

Oh, scythia. You’ve made me so happy.
September 4, 2008 at 11:53 am
I’m not sure where they think they’re going with this whole “Let’s belittle community service” thing. Okay, they’ve done a few thousand outrageously counterintuitive things in the past and somehow made them work, but this one’s a real puzzler.
Unless it’s just another way of saying “n*gger”, in which case it’s perfectly clear.

Were those items gifts from McCain? Did he give her the pearl nec … oh, oh god, no, I just vomited in my mouth.

Seems like it to me. Not just n*gger, but n*gger doused in hippie sauce.

WHAT I SAW WAS A ROCK STAR WITH POOR JUDGMENT?
What I saw yesterday was a woman who used her poor judgment as a prop to win the sympathy of the American voters. Sarah Pahin uses poor judgment and the GOP makes her out to be a hero! The issue should not be about Sarah Pahin not having an abortion; the issue is that she did not have the good judgment to use birth control. Any intelligent person knows that when you choose to have unprotected sex at 43 you have a very high probability of having a child with Down Syndrome. The republicans are making her out to be a hero because she used the bad judgment not to prevent the pregnancy in the first place. I’m a mother of three, quite well educated, and moderately politically active. I am also a registered Arizona Republican. I do not have the experience, judgment and intelligence to have my finger on the nuclear button and I do not feel that Sarah Palin does either.

//Unless it’s just another way of saying “n*gger”, in which case it’s perfectly clear.//
You noticed that, too?
It’s a pretty blatant association, “I had a REAL job, not like that … “

Not that it makes much of a difference in the grand scheme of things, but unless they looked at those diamonds under a jeweler’s loupe, it’s entirely possible they cost far, far less than $280,000. And give that that’s the bulk of the “$300,000 outfit” claim, what’s the point? Isn’t a $20,000 outfit bad enough?
September 4, 2008 at 3:04 pm
I think the McCain campaign should put out a press release saying that it is possible that his wife’s jewelry cost much less that $280,000.
September 4, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Watching Cindy’s ecstatic reaction to Palin’s speech last night, I was lead to the inescapable realization that she is the baleful human avatar of an evil and ancient reptilian being who is the real power behind this campaign. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Chthindi R’lyeh wagn’nagl fhtagn! Aaaaiiiiiiii!!!!
September 4, 2008 at 6:26 pm
That would be one awesome press release.

Al Gore’s non-existent private jet: Elitist.
Cindy McCain’s private jet, which she insists is the only way you can get around Arizona: not the least bit elitist.
September 9, 2008 at 5:02 pm
I’d suggest “community organizer” is being equated with “scary leftist agitator” more than anything else; that’s something that predates either the Civil Rights movement or the hippie movement.
