Reminds me of a segment on Err America a couple of years ago (think it was Randi Rhodes) talking about how wonderfully cheap her cleaning lady was. The host was suspecting she was here illegally but was only concerned with how cheap she was.
That has become the new chat at cocktail parties, especially working women who brag about all of the "available help" for their children, cleaning and cooking, while their husbands are bragging about "how little they paid to re-roof their homes, or how they were able to get that new stone wall built in the garden for very little money.
