the (what I assume to be Rhinestone or Diamond encrusted) USMC and Navy pins, done in totally tasteless fashion. You know, I could have built a dress like that for 45$, and I don't know how to sew!

No, dude, it's called taste. It is BAD taste to run around yelling about how bad the economy is, and how Fiscally Conservative the republicans are and how "down to earth, good people" the McCains are when his wife is wearing that garbage. Wear that crap to your fundraisers if you want, not in front of American's who are trying to figure out why they don;t have a house any more.
Michelle Obama's blue dress by Maria Pinto draws fashion raves
Michelle's blue dress was designed by Maria Pinto, a Chicago-native designer (formerly assistant to Geoffrey Beene) made good. Wisely banking on all the presidential publicity, she's opened a store in Chicago's West Loop this month. Maria has worked with the potential first lady for some time. She also designed that hot purple sleeveless sheath (accessorized with an Azzedine Alaia belt) that Michelle wore when Barack announced his candidacy.

You're right, because Vanity Fair hasn't made their legacy on estimating the value of fashion (even really TACKY fashion)! That would be like saying don't trust Warren Buffett on stocks because his predictions are only estimates.

That's right folks, most people's mortgages were hanging from the ears of Banana Lady, er um Cyndi McCain at the opening night of the convention. This wasn't counting the (what I assume to be Rhinestone or Diamond encrusted) USMC and Navy pins, done in totally tasteless fashion. You know, I could have built a dress like that for 45$, and I don't know how to sew!
You know, there is some nerve, that in the time of a recession (potential recession) for her to wear something like that. Then to have Palin last night belittle community organizers and virtually call them worthless.
That's fine, republicans, but you can no longer use the term "elitist", mmmkay?
