It's when you start thinking that $540 is "normal" for a pair of sneakers . . .that's when there's a problem. Ditto for her comment during the campaign that the $500 Bush tax break would only buy you a set of earrings. Barbara Bush can act and talk like a clueless blue-blood because she doesn't know any better. But a woman who incessantly trumpets her working class South Side Chicago roots and then parades around in designer sneakers at a photo op looks like a nouveau riche.

Oh, LaVaughan, please! This is your First Lady, and you should learn to tolerate and embrace her insincere and hostile ways just like the rest of the world has. Those preciously tacky Lanvin shoes are only a small down payment on the reparations that this angry woman believes are owed her. Although she has been afforded advantages, opportunities and luxuries beyond the reach or imagination of most, it has been noted that she can be [and -- in spite of the best efforts of a paid staff of advisers -- likely will continue to be] as rough as a COB. We are barely 100 days into what will probably be a very long ride. In view of the fact that we are undoubtedly in for a continuing flow MLRO BS, I would suggest you simmer down and stock up on some Charmin.
