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.

She reminds me of Mrs. Thurston Howell III. Oh Lovey, would you please tell that Gilligan to quit banging those bongo drums so loudly. It is damaging to my complexion!
On second thought, McCain does share a bit of a resemblance to Thurston Howell....hmmmm.
Priceless.
Pretty bad when a Rothschild calls you elitist.
It is pretty hilarious.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... she really sounds confused. I saw the interview with her and it was positively dreadful, darling!
Has it occurred to anyone that she may have been a plant by the GOPs to rev up support for Hillary? I think the GOP machine had a whole slew of uglies ready for Hillary and when she lost the primary, they were surprised. Now, Lady de Rothschild (the non elitist) is trying yet again to foster some kind of upset in the female demographic indicating that Obama just is not ok. She is a plant or a racist. There is no other explanation.
She's a Paris Hilton wannabe.
Give her a break, guys. Her husband's a banker. They're having a bad week. Many of the rich got poorer this week and some of them will bail on the huddled masses.
Isn't it nice that "Lady Lyn" had good PR advice though-- blame it on those marshmellow Dems... call them "elitest," the uneducated masses will never figure it out. They'll think that you actually care about them...all is well.
Rosie the Riveter -- with diamond rivets! How will Obama survive???
Exactly--under the handle. she's New Jersey born Lynn Forrester (formerly Mrs. Andrew Stein, see http://www.portfolio.com/views/columns/the-world-according-to/2007/10/05/An-interview-with-Lady-de-Rothschild) and she made her own money in telecommunications, so she has certain loyalties. Her present husband is a knight (Sir Evelyn) not a duke, though he is a Rothschild, and she invaded his first marriage --more in the article linked above. No wonder she "frankly" doesn't like Obama.
Here is the definition of elite as given on wikipedia: "Elite (also spelled Élite) is taken originally from the Latin, eligere, "to elect". In sociology as in general usage, the élite is a relatively small dominant group within a large society, which enjoys a privileged status envied by individuals of lower social status."
Ummmm....now who does that sound like: Bush, Cheney, McCain (particularly Cindy).
Thanks for a good giggle! Lady de I'm So Full Of Myself It's Appalling will hopefully
now take over for Carly Fiorina who has been sent to Siberia or Alaska. That should
be great for McCain LOL Another idiot in waiting ready to stick her bejeweled foot in her
porcelain crowned mouth. Can't wait- it should be fun!!
I guess it sucks when the little people can write their own checks to support a candidate.
...and that's the one thing that the other side can't fight or overcome. For all the celebrities and big donors on both sides of the aisle, the fact remains that Obama owes a whole lot more to people who contribute $10 at a time than the other candidate.
AND in economic times like this, a small contribution demonstrates a whole lot more than any answer on a poll.
Didnt the Rothchilds play both sides of the debates? Its a family trait.
Oowwwwwww. Direct Hit! 1000points!
Never a truer word was spoken. The Rothchild's have got one hell of a corrupt and 'working both sides of the fence' history that calling someone like Obama an elitist after what this family has done to the world we live in is elephant balls size comments.
don't we know it, sell arms to the Reich and the Allies and pretend to know nothing about it
Whats funny about this lady is that she forgot that she is from an elist group. The nerve.
I saw a interview with Lady Rothschild she nailed the McCain talking points about Obama.My thought she was coached.No one in there right mind who supported Hillary can say with a strait face that they for McCain.The have two completely different view on every issue from equal pay for women to health care.
Hillary Clinton: Was it all about me?
If this very rich lady was so enamored with Hillary why didn't she pay off her campaign debt?
GREAT IDEA!!!
scrutiny: BINGO....LOL
I love it!
gold star for you!
Unhappy that she won't be the ambassador to France.
HIlarious!!
