I don't know what it is with the filthy rich and sweaters around their shoulders. I've seen Teresa Kerry on two ocassions, on C-Span a day before Iowa, and then after the results, both times wearing a sweater around her shoulders.

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks him "What'll ya have?"
The horse answers, "Dewars and water, please."
Bartender says "You got it..."
Five minutes later John Kerry walks into the bar.
The bartender asks him "Why the long face?"

It's the unspoken "rules" that exist which we great
unwashed aren't privy to, and I think it is a bit
different from one section of the country to the
other. Really, it's probably pretty basic so they can
be sure to recognize "quality" no matter where they
are. Right coiffure (this varies). Sweater tied around
the shoulders & cashmere, of course. Expensive slacks
and skirts only from shops where there are no price tags.
Right makeup (this varies). Facelift. Huge wide-open
mouth displaying expensive dental work (a la Pamela
Harrington & Hillary Clinton & Tipper Gore on the first
election night when they won). Right jewelry big diamonds,
Rolex, etc. I think, though, the most obnoxious thing are
the big, huge gaping garish mouths expressing an absolute
smugness that they aren't a part of us great unwashed.

Do they ever tie socks around their ankles?
