Lynn Forester de Rothschild von Cartier der Wha'?

News Alert! Some fancy lady named Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild has decided that Barack Obama is an "elitist" and therefore she's going to endorse John McCain.

Is this the greatest news factoid of all time?

Answer: YES.

It turns out ol' Lady Lynn Forester der von Rothschild -- who "splits her time time between London and New York" -- was a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton. (For some reason, I suddenly feel overwhelming sympathy for Sen. Clinton.)

After Obama beat Clinton in the Democratic primary, Lady de Rothschild was probably like, "Boo-hoo, my candidate lost, waah waah, nothing ever goes my way! Jeeves, please lower me into my diamond bathtub -- which is filled with real diamonds -- and shampoo my hair with the triple-distilled tears of orphans. Also, I command you to perform a champagne enema on one of my fine Arabian stallions while I liveblog it on my solid gold typepad account. C'est tres magnificique! (sp?)"

In a display of the trenchant policy analysis that has made her famous, Madame Lady Lynn Forest Whittaker de Rothschild von Pooter explained her McCain endorsement by saying of Obama:

"Frankly, I don't like him."

(As an Obama supporter, I would humbly request that Ladyboo Lynn de Forester von Chili Con Carne travel around the country, greeting voters and announcing that she doesn't like Barack Obama. Please don't forget to wear one of those floofy, flouncey scarves that you can buy at the MoMA store, and also please don't forget to sneer at everyone. May I also request that you wear all your jewels at once?)

I'm sure Obama will lose a lot of sleep over this. I know he was craving the endorsement. After all, we're talking about Baroness Lassie Lynn de von Forester d'el der McRothschild von de Beers VIII, the type of lady every American can relate to and wants to be friends with and definitely doesn't laugh at as soon as she turns her back (to check on her portfolio of private planets she owns).

Maybe now she and Cindy McCain can go shopping together and buy jewels at Cartier and be all like, "Ooh girl, that gem looks so good on your earlobe!" or whatever it is stupid rich old ladies do all day.

When Hillary asked whether her supporters were for her or for the policies she fought for, de Rothschild was obviously only for Hillary and doesn't give a rip about policy.

[BLinCincinnati]

She wasn't even for Hillary. She was for access to power that she had through Hillary.

If I didn't have ADD I could fill this whole website with articles. I read about the world about 16 hours a day and have for years and years. After studying the social sciences, travel, working in the trenches and much much more, the current state of affairs has me literally sick. I am so very, very disappointed in so much of humanity from the narcissistic to the sheep.

Today you made me laugh ~ in a good way.

Thank you so very much!!!

Gotta go. I want to read your article again and laugh : )

LOL, I'm so torn up about her defection....what will we do now without her.

[myhomeo]

what will we do now without her? We'll win

Well, yes, rich elitists would certainly go for the Republicans. Good timing for Dems, I would say use it and compare it to Julie Eisenhower voting for Obama, Maybe this fancy lady can go hang with Cindy at the spa.

The story I saw said "top Clinton fund raiser". It also mentioned the princely sum of $100K.

As a former Republican, $100k seems too low to be a "top" or "major" fund raiser.

Sounds more like chump change.

[dayala]

who cares about this disgruntled bitter spinster.

[deeppeace]

Bravo!

[ShawneeDavid]

Calling Ms. Sir de Rothschild - your fifteen minutes are over. Time to go back to the castles.

[Jeep]

This is worthy of Mad Magazine -- and that's high praise indeed!

[NoSillyName]

Definitely!

[wendy82551]

One of the best Obama endorsements ever!

[pejo]

hahaha

good one...

[stujo4]

I heard she thinks he is an elitist. Which in this sense means "not white".

[drumz]

Too bad she didn't say uppity and her true colors would show.

[myhomeo]

she has no true colors

[DoNuts]

Absolutely agree 1000% !

"You can just tell by looking at him."

Seems like the GOP is doing a whole lot of mind reading these days. They know what everyone else thinks.

There's a cultural war going on, already, but only one side was invited to participate. The other side is quietly going about their business, working, paying their bills, driving the economy, oblivious to the fact that so many people hate them.

From Dowd:

I talked to a Wal-Mart mom, Betty Necas, 39, wearing sweatpants and tattoos on her wrists.

She said she’s never voted, and was a teenage mom “like Bristol.” She likes Sarah because she’s “down home” but said Obama “gives me the creeps. Nothing to do with the fact that he’s black. He just seems snotty, and he looks weaselly.”
