Are you kidding me, Jane? Cindy McCain got involved in being a good-doer as a way to get more drugs for herself! And most clothing given out by designers is hand-made in their studios. Jackie Kennedy always wore American designers except for when she went to France and then she wore French designers; and many of her clothes were given to her by the designers because of the publicity they received. Same with Nancy Reagan before AND after being elected—but I am sure that is okay with you, right? I don’t have a problem with Cindy’s clothing. She is rich and she can afford them. But I have to say that if the DNC used my donations to them to buy Joe Biden new suits, I would be mad as a hornet. If you can’t afford to be in the big leagues, then you should stay at home.

Holy crap! FYI … that is spelled “Elitest.” And just so you will know, Senator Obama was a Constitutional Law Professor before ran for public office. Won’t it be nice to have an intelligent person in the White House again?

I heard McCain say that he is going to have Joe the Plumber in his Administration when he is elected. Do you think McCain will have to pay Joe’s new agents for that priviledge?

Well, I bet Cindy McCain is praying that her husband will lose the election because she doesn’t like Washington, DC at all! She was not well-received there because of the fact that the Reagans liked Sen. McCain’s first wife; so much so, that the first Mrs. McCain was on Mrs. Reagan’s staff. Cindy McCain WAS the other woman, after all! She looks in many ways like a former cheerleader, but also does look cold and standoffish. But, if I were married to John McCain, I would probably look stiff and scared all the time, too.

Don’t burst my anti-Angelina bubble Kryssi! LOL Not saying they were physical, but … emotional adultery is worse in many ways, I think.

Sorry Kryssi … but I am nuts! LMAO Now back to Angelina, she told an interviewer (I think Matt Lauer), that she would want her kids to see Mr. and Mrs. Smith one day because that was where their parents fell in love.

As much as I like Hillary Clinton, I think Joe Biden was a better selection for Vice President. He is smart and articulate. He is knowledgeable about foreign policy and he is very pro-woman. He was responsible for the crimes against females act. He is a great guy—good husband and good father. He and Obama are positive role models today’s youth. And to the Irish Eyes poster — yes, it IS a big deal that the RNC took $150,000 of donations to provide Sarah Palin with clothing, make-up, and hairdressers. If you can’t afford to be running, then you shouldn’t be running! I heard Joe Scarborough on his show on MSNBC say that when he decided to run for office he went to Brooks Brothers warehouse and bought two off-the-rack suits and wore them to campaign in. Why couldn’t Palin do the same thing? As has been said here, Joe the Plumber’s wife probably doesn’t wear Manolo’s or shop at Neiman Marcus nor do those hockey moms she claims to represent.

Other than the nightly news programs, I just don’t watch so-called reality shows because they are anything but reality. A good article by Liz about Madonna, but I just wonder if it is beneficial to your marriage if you are dating on the side as Madonna has been accused of doing with the baseball guy?

OMG Patsy! That is a hoot!

I agree Starry. Let’s get back to Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer! And Liz … can you believe that Angelina FINALLY admitted that she and Brad hooked up during the making of Mr. and Mrs. Smith while he was still a married man. She must be a Republican what with that whole double-standard she has about married men.

When Michelle Obama was speaking in Pensacola Tuesday, she had a simple skirt and jacket with a little shell under it and flats. It looked an outfit she usually wore to work. Nothing flashy or pretentious about her at all. And someone above was talking about how all the First Ladies dressed up. Yes they did. But Sarah Palin isn’t running for First Lady, is she?

i giggled out loud when I read the “Old Cranky’s” comment! Thanks!

I love practical jokes! I worked as a jobsite office manager for a construction company in Atlanta back in the 80s. We worked hard and we played hard. I smoked back then (shameful, I know), and at one 6 am meeting one of the men lit my cigarette for me and BOOM, the darn thing just blew up. I was stunned, the guy who lit my cigarette was stunned. Another guy (one of the super macho construction foremen you read about) kept saying, “Rita, what happened?” I kept saying I don’t know! Then he burst into hysterics. It seemed he planted something in the cigarette to make it blow up. (Of course, I could no longer smoke safely so I had to quit!) I had to think long and hard on how to get back at the macho, homophobic man who had screwed with my ciggies. So one afternoon, I patted him on his back and said, “Lou, it may not be today or tomorrow, but I will get you back.” He just laughed. Well, when I patted him on his back I was attaching a sign which read: Kiss me, I’m gay! Macho Lou strolled all over the jobsite, chatted with vendors and subcontractors, strolled across Peachtree Street to the bank to cash his paycheck and to flirt with the tellers. As he got the to middle of Peachtree on his way back to the jobsite, the bank guard shouts out: Hey Lou, you have something on your back. Revenge is sweet! We had great fun pulling pranks on each other and on others who worked with us. But you do have to know the party you are pranking cause some folks can dish it out, but can’t take it!

James, I am in my 50s and I still have nightmares from Baptist Sunday school and the notion that was preached to us one Sunday that “one would be taken, one would be left.” Literally for years, I tried to make sure I was always in groups of least three so my odds would be better, although I didn’t know if I wanted to be left behind or taken! Did you read the series of the Left Behind books? They were an interesting read. The authors interpreted biblical predictions literally, there were lots of locusts and the 666 stamp among many other things. The one thing I didn’t appreciate was how they made the Pope their fall guy.

I am guessing that most hockey moms or the wives of all the Joe Sixpacks out there don’t shop at Neimann Marcus! This just goes to show you what hyprocrites Republicans have become. Why doesn’t she just wear her normal clothes, Joe Biden does!!
