That is what Vanity Fair editors estimate was the value of what Cindy McCain was wearing on Monday alone.

What do you think of this?

Just a simple observation. 


She can afford it.

I couldn't care less

umm -  she earned every penny, pays taxes on what she earns, and looked really good.

Good on her.

Its people like her that enable the rest of us to have a job ( business owners that is)

By the way - i also thought Mrs Obama looked really nice in her $140 dress.

In my next life I want to be born rich, skinny and Republican...

I'd settle for rich and skinny! [:D]

Earned? Mrs. McCain is an heiress. She is not CEO of Hensley.

Uh, the way i understand it she inherited a business and built it up into a major company.  ie she earned her money.

Well in that case you misunderstood it.She most certainly did inherit it and it was her father who built it into a major company.

Not according to the actual facts on the ground. She inherited the family business in 2000 when her father died. At the time it was one of the biggest beer distributors in the nation. She has never been CEO only Chairwoman of the Board. The company is roughly the same size today as it was in 2000.

The only business she ever directly controlled, a strip mall, was a complete disaster and wound up getting Senator McCain in ethics trouble as part of the Keating S&L debacle.

I would have to wonder why they would think I care how much her dress cost.




littlewonder -> RE: So what do you think of the $313,100? (9/5/2008 3:12:07 PM)

If she can afford it who cares?

I say good for her.




SilverMark -> RE: So what do you think of the $313,100? (9/5/2008 3:14:57 PM)

She looked damn good in it.....who knows, might look damn good out of it?

For real? Woa, that's a lot of dough for a frock. Or was it her jewellery? If it's the glad rags, it seems to me it's a little bit indecent, considering the state of most people's bank accounts. It's her personal choice, but she could have been more modest: it wouldn't have hurt.

<fast reply>

Here's a link to the Vanity Fair piece.

Mrs. McCain's jewelry makes up the bulk of the price tag.

Funny when all the rich liberal hollywood celebs wear half a million dollar outfits to the Academy Awards, everyone applauds them.

You see, we keep hoping and praying for some actual human substance from them.

Or when a democrat gets a 500 dollar haircut, it becomes the defining moment of his campaign, used to paint him as an "elitist."

i think...as long as she didn't get the money dealing drugs to children, or selling arms to the Taliban ....who gives a flying fuck?  It's her money(sure, she shouldn't get a tax cut...but that's a seperate issue....*to self: FOCUS!*)....and she's not running for office.
