Lynn Forester de Rothschild von Cartier der Wha'?

digg Share this on Facebook Huffpost - stumble reddit del.ico.us RSS

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.

Oh dear, poor Obama was counting on Lady Foo-Foo to keep his campaign afloat! Obviously, he's had a horrible time raising $ without her!

And Obama being such an "elitist' and Foo-Foo being just one of the girls!

Has the world turned inside out?????

Now that McCain has the endorsement of the Duchess Fou Fou Pompidou Von Hoity Toit, I guess that locks in the upper crusty vote. Yesterday Nascar dads, tomorrow the world of polo and croquet! So who's elite, dahling? Sheesh, Lynn Forester de Rothschild sounds like a name made up by The Onion. She says Barack Obama is arrogant, but then she probably thinks anyone is arrogant who doesn't park her car and kiss her pinky ring.

Madame Phoney should fit right into the McSame camp, = doesn't have a clue; out of touch and she looks like 'one of them' (meaning,.. she's a racist.)

I take a small bit of satisfaction knowing that the Lady has probably lost a few million $$ this week.

Could the back lash from ms ritzy two shoes be that she cannot get a cushy post with Obama, and now is leaning to McCain for a place or the fact that she invests her money in other countries, and Obama wants to invest in America???
Here is some interesting blurb from the woman herself, in an interview back October 2007.
New York Mag, News and Features page.
http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/10/lady_lynn_forester_de_rothschi.html

On why she's investing in India: "You know, there are more billionaires in India than anyplace else. Let me put it this way: Every day in India, the entire nation of Great Britain is on the train, one way or another. So the numbers are pretty colossal. Seventy million people in India can afford anything they want. It's a small percent, but that's a reasonable number. Two hundred fifty million are middle-class, so you might not go for the Chanel glasses, but you sure could go for an Estée Lauder lipstick or a Starbucks coffee."

On why she's voting for Hillary: "I think if history is our guide, we've had stronger economies, more wealth creation, under Democratic presidents than we have under Republican presidents."
____________________________________________
stronger, more under Dem Presidents, so why again is voting with McCain? Something is amiss here...

Dang, Obama could have really used the support of French royalty to fight off those allegations of elitism! Well, I guess she just needed to find a candidate who shared her own down home ways, real salt-of-the-earth folk like Cindy McCain.

' "I believe that the McCain-Palin government will be a centrist government," Rothschild said. "It's not going to be an ideological government." '

Yeah, and I believe Superman really exists. I've got the better chance of being proven right.

Lady De Rothschild has teams of servants and butlers attending to her every need in some of her stately mansions. This woman is an arrogant elitist who was born with a silver spoon in her undeserving mouth. She is petty, vain, clueless and lives in a permanent ivory tower.

'Lady' Rothschild thinks that Obama is elitist !!!! The words pots kettles and black immediately comes to mind ( although obviously not to the good Lady's mind, who appears to be pea -brained).

I cannot understand the lack of self-awareness of this super wealthy twit. She was born into a life of luxury and privilege. Obama survived on food stamps and in a single parent household.

No harm to the back of Lady R. Good riddance.

Lady whatshername is an accomplished woman in her own right. AND she married well. She is a perfectly good rich Republican and does not deserve to be mistreated on these pages. Why was she working for Hillary? Thats the question.

The woman is a racist pure and simple.

One has only to look at her and the way she has her nose so far in the air.
