Cindy McCain's $300,000 Dress



Who is "elite," the "liberal media," or the Republicans on stage at the convention that propagate that myth. The average salary for a "liberal elite" journalist with 9 year experience is roughly $40K. Vanity Fair broke down the cost of Cindy McCain's outfit for the convention (Thanks to Liza Sabater at CultureKitchen for the link):

Cindy McCain
Oscar de la Renta dress: $3,000
Chanel J12 White Ceramic Watch: $4,500
Three-carat diamond earrings: $280,000
Four-strand pearl necklace: $11,000–$25,000
Shoes, designer unknown: $600
Total: Between $299,100 and $313,100


So -- who is truly the "elite."
