Brynn, I thought you were going to do a Mastercard thing - cost of defeating a McCain presidency? Priceless.
Oh, and CIndy McCain is SO copycatting Hillary Clinton's inaugural gown from 1992. It was a gold De la Renta. And she looked WAY more fierce!

I'm not a fan of the dress; it makes her look fat.
Laura Bush looks much better. Classic look, very appropriate.

We have come a long way from Pat Nixon's "Republican Cloth Coat" as described by "Tricky Dicky."

Cindy McCain might have spent a fortune on her dress (which was the wrong color for her altogether) and accessories, but she was, throughout the convention, sporting the worst job of makeup I've seen on a public figure since Tammy Faye Messner, God rest her soul. Somebody get that girl to the MAC counter!

Just think - her dress cost $240,600 more than my house did.

Bil, they gave you $237,600 to take the house off their hands? That's my kind of real estate speculation.
