Clearly, I mean our press would never publish a frivolous story about important things like purses.

On a different board, that is now deceased; I suggested that all the "digging" that was being done on President Bush would result in every President that followed being scrutinized more and more.
Looking for dirt, on the sitting President, will continue to be uglier and uglier; until the American voters get so sick of it, that they will completely vote out the offenders.
Both parties are guilty of this and what they seem to ignore, is that it's not the vocal complainers they need to worry about; but instead it's that "silent majority", which they seem to ignore, that will be a major factor in this.
Of course; there will now be those that will demand proof of my assertion, instead of considering the probability of it.
More's the pity.

Shhhh!
That's what I was trying... I want to see how long it will go. Especially just answering the question of why a purse is important.
I'm sorry to all the serious posters... I'm trying to make this legless purse thing walk...
I think the point being made here is that so many people are hurting right now and they spend this ridiculous amount on a purse.
Did you make watermark's dumb thread walk about some Republican putting his hand on Brooks?

I believe it was Charver who wanted to see the purse. They also had a picture of Michelle carrying it.

You lookin' at my pint?
I have to say, i was expecting something with a little more...pizazz.
I certainly wouldn't spend 6 large on it. And i'm not just saying that because i haven't got a pair of shoes to match.

Luxury goods company says Michelle Obama carried their $6,000 bag -- White House flatly denies it.
The $5,950 shiny black manila alligator clutch, a smaller version is shown above, is part of VBH's Spring 2009 collection.
Is First Lady Michelle Obama sporting a taste for ultra-expensive fashion pieces, or is she cementing her status as a savvy shopper?
Back in April she wore a pair of $540 Lanvin sneakers at a Washington food bank. Earlier this week (while strolling the wooded landscape outside of Moscow), she carried a sexy black clutch, which Italian luxury house VBH boasts is their shiny black alligator manila bag – with a retail sticker price of $5,950.
The White House flatly denies that Obama bought such a high-priced accessory, and says that she was carrying a patent clutch that retails for $875.
The First Lady, who has impressed with her chic, affordable style sense, embracing Everywoman brands like Gap and J.Crew, flashed the shiny handheld while walking with her husband, President Barack Obama, during their Monday meeting with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his wife Svetlana.
Told that Obama's office denied the bag was the high-end VBH clutch, Kelly Vitko, a rep for the company replied, "It’s definitely ours."

Yet your own link says they misidentified the bag.
First RW's criticize her for wearing Gap or J. Crew, then they criticize her for wearing Lanvin shoes or Narciso Rodriguez and Michael Kors outfits.
Obviously it's not about the clothing.
"After sticking to their initial claim, the high-end leather manufacturer is now backing off. "If that's what the White House is saying, then it's a patent bag," admitted VBH rep Kelly Vitko.
Despite being certain about the bag being the nearly $6,000 version – “it’s definitely ours [manila bag],” she said earlier this morning -- the rep now says that she made an assumption and misidentified the bag."

They denied it because it was a lie, and the the person who made the statement in the first place had to backpedal.

come on... you don't think that...just maybe...the photographer caught him as he was rising from a crouched position and was bringing his shotgun up to his shoulder?
No, I think he was walking and is awkwardly doing something he rarely does, if he ever did it before that day. The video that they showed of it never had him "crouching" in the brush.come on... you don't think that...just maybe...the photographer caught him as he was rising from a crouched position and was bringing his shotgun up to his shoulder?

why do you assume she was telling the truth in the first instance and lying in the second?
the spokesman made it a non-story. go dig in the garbage for something else...
You were there? Where can I find that info, and who takes back merchandise worn over the course of a campaign? Did the info come from Neiman's or Saks? If you look closely, some of the clothes she wore on the campaign are still on her back at some recent appearances. Proof please. "SHEEEESH!!!!"

Many of the clothes purchased by the RNC were returned by RNC because they didn't fit. It's an downright lie she went on a shopping spree. Some of the clothing was found in trash bags at the RNC site. She purchases her own clothing at the consignment shop in Wasilla. Call them. She's not an elitist and that's why many liberals hate her, especially the liberal women.
So where is your proof that some of the clothing was still on her back at some recent appearances? Oh? You don't have any proof? I didn't think so. SHEEESH!!
