The blog-o-sphere is still chirping about the bird shirt Ann Romney wore on CBS' "This Morning" on Wednesday, and the fact that it was hideously ugly wasn't even the news. Ann Romney's silk shirt costs $990, Styleite reports.

Critics say wearing the shirt -- part of Reed Krakoff’s spring 2012 ready-to-wear collection -- was a particularly foolish move for the first lady hopeful, as she and her multi-millionaire husband struggle to relate to average Americans. Meghan McCain, an MSNBC contributor, slammed the shirt on Lawrence O’Donnell’s "The Last Word."

"She needs to be a little more cognizant of the message she’s trying to put out, just given the economic recession that we're in and everything that's going on," McCain said. And this is just when we'd forgotten that Ann drives a "couple" of Cadillacs. Do you think her pricey bird shirt is stylish -- or stupid?

    I can tell you don't look at labels in any stores. Most stores are stocked with goods from overseas. You cannot avoid it. Even the lower priced clothing stores like TJ Maxx and J Crew are stocked to the ceiling with clothing made overseas - Thailand, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, etc. What is important is that no matter where you shop in THIS country, you are supporting folks in THIS country irregardless of where the original product was manufactured.

    My uniforms are made in the US by union employees. I'm sure people don't mind paying $60 for a pair of shorts, right? I mean it's all for a good cause!

    Is $60 a good price?

    I certainly don't spend $60 for a pair of shorts for my regular clothing. Imagine if you went back to school shopping for your kids and all you could buy is union made in the US. I assure you they wouldn't get much.

    That's the problem. Made in the USA can be more expensive than imported goods.

    Yes, that's just an economic fact that isn't going to change anytime soon. When you have to pay a minimum wage and comply with stringent rules and regulations, you shoot up the cost. When you put a union on top of that, it gets even higher.

    It's all a trade off with winners and losers. If you make more, you pay more and vice versa. That's why the "living wage" is a joke.

    Is part of the cost of the shirt some kind of charity? I'm unfamiliar with clothing that costs that much or whatever it is. I think it's ugly but I've seen worse. It's not really like you expect a multi-millionaire's wife to shop at Walmart, do you?

    Um, neither Michelle Obama nor this "moo-chelle" you all keep yawning about are running for any office. And "common sense" isn't running, either. Do you understand that only people run for office?

    You are more confused than I thought.

    you can all you want hunny. listen to a worn out 41 year old who probably hasnt done anything with her life, and probably wont go anywhere, or you can listen to someone who WORKS in the government. practice some common sense.

    Not voting for Obama; try again. In addition, if voting for Obama makes one an imbecile than you are one as well for wanting to vote for Romney.

    Mediocre/wrong grammar:

    "thats fine. because i KNOW for a fact im way smarter than you."


    Correct grammar:

    "That’s fine, because I “KNOW” for a fact I’m way smarter than you."

    Wow; my 6 year old little niece has better grammar than you.

    its pretty sad that you were sexually promiscuous at age 16 first off. second off, this is a website, not a business, or a college. i do not have to prove anything to you. i dont have to articulate to the lame ones, or the ones that are blind in their minds eye, and right in their own head. how can i sum this up for you. i know! im speaking on your level, with the day of time im going to give you. lastly, i know why you want hand outs, you already sold your future because you have to sleep around at age 16 irresponsibly with no protection, and you arent going anywhere. im up here, youre down there.
