Nurses Dressing

Just kidding. I got a press release from the California Nurses Association, hitting Palin on her clothes:

"Spending $150,000 for a one month wardrobe while painting yourself as a 'hockey mom' or the voice of 'Joe Six Pack' is an insult," said CNA/NNOC Executive Director Rose Ann DeMoro. "There's been a lot of talk about Marxists in this campaign, but the real Marxist is in the McCain camp – she's just a Neiman Marxist," said DeMoro.

I don't quite get the logic of the joke, but "Neiman Marxist" is an important contribution to the American political lexicon. The release encourages you to visit this site where you play a game of dress up using Sarah Palin and a variety of expensive clothes.

Gee, and I thought Nurses were compassionate, well-educated people. Does this association really feel Palin's clothes (one time temp price tag of $150,000 ) is more marxist compared to universal health care (permanent economic redistribution probably in trillions, not to mention loss of personal freedom)?

Most of the medical people I am related to and know do not think universal care is going to be such a good thing. I live in Michigan and we have Canadian doctors and nurses that come here to work.

Maybe certain groups should stay within their areas of expertise when demanding to be taken serious. Now the CNA has expensed credibility in the business they are in to promote the business they are not in. Should we listen to them when it comes to analyzing the auto industry? While they have made news, and expended energy to promote a silly sounding site, what have they done for the health care debate? Nothing.

They're just mad because they have to buy their clothes from target--in size 24 Extra Large. Go, Sarah! Go Neiman Marxists everywhere!
