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.

Let's not forget. . . it was Hillary who FIRST labeled Obama an elitist. And yes, it is the new word for UPPITY. You folks from the South know all about that.

[allonfla]

total obama supporter here. I don't believe it was hillary who first did that, BUT she took it and ran with it full speed ahead.

This woman is no Hillary Clinton supporter; she is a starstruck Hillary groupie. I was a Hillary Clinton supporter, donor and worker. I now joyfully support Barack Obama 100%+. The policy differences between Obama and HRC are razor thin; the differences between Obama and McCain are a bottomless chasm. No serious HRC supporters could throw their support to McCain knowing his positions. This woman's peevish embrace of McCain is traitorous but really insignificant as it relates to the greater good. Several other well heeled HRC supporters are strongly behind Obama: New York attorney, Bal Das; Philadelphia Eagles co owner, Christina Lurie and Esprit founder Susie Tompkins Buell. Each woman has firmly thrown her support behind Obama. In 24 hours no one will remember Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild's betrayal; she will be just another rich McCain donor. Gone and quickly forgotten! Go Obama-Biden.

Isn't this just simultaneously PRECIOUS and ironic that on the day when most Americans are experiencing sheer horror over our nation's economic future that Lady Lala Land endorses McCain, calling Obama "elitist"? I wonder what goes on in that feverish little pea brain of hers? Has she no sense of irony? HER??? Calling Obama "elitist"??? If Red State apologists of McCain/Palin believe this crap, I've got a bridge to nowhere to sell them!

[heartinamerica]

Such intelligent reasons Lynn has for not backing Hillary's choice. "I don't like him" I guess she thinks he is too "uppity" for her tastes. Too bad she just ticked off the majority of women voters in this country, made herself look like a tool, but the good thing is she has no real influence on most women, she's only one vote so who cares, not going to affect anything as the women who plan to vote for the Guys and Gals girl were already there. If Rothschild is supporting McCain, she is not supporting the majority of, and frankly the most informed, intelligent women, in America. But that's what dumbing down is-- lets not let that happen any longer VOTE Obama/Biden along with Hillary.

[saraarendell]

Reminds me of the reasoning I hear from the McCain supporters I work with. They are voting for him because:
a) they have always voted Republican (but couldn't for the life of them tell you why or where their candidate stands on the issues)
or
b) Sarah Palin's aunt and uncle are clients of ours and so, well, obviously... (plus you know, they did give us free hats and buttons)

And just yesterday my coworker was sympathetically telling me how her husband's staff was upset because they'd lost so much of their retirement in the stock market. When I told her that is what McCain wants to do with our social security, her reply was, "Huh." Yea, huh.

Well played David, well played.

[newdreams]

Just saw this woman being interviewed on Wolf Blitzer. The reason she gave for her rift from the Democrats is the she just doesn't trust Obama. Now, what would make McCain's daily lies and deceptions much easier to swallow than Obama? Could it be a racial issue? I'm jus' sayin'...

Is Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild by any chance a relative of Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild?

Some behavior is learned other behavior is inherited and instinctual. Perhaps there is deeply rooted bias against African-Americans that is at the base of the fair Lady's dislike of Sen. Obama

http://www.seanscreenplays.com/BeteNoireCD/Articles1/The%20Rothschild%20Dynasty.htm

Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild agent of human cattle, would be pleased that his relatives reminded the uppity blackman of his place in society and, refused to vote for Obama.

[btanner]

Does she just hate black people? That's sad because I could have sworn she was in Flavor of Love. lol

[Pegi]

GOOD RIDDANCE -- WITH A NAME LIKE DE ROTHSCHILD, SHE HAS THE NERVE TO CALL OUR BARACK AN ELITIST???? help help my sides hurt from screaming laughing!!!!!!! LOL LOL LOL LOL

Obama/Biden 08

[delzakiya]

Good for her. I think it makes perfect sense. Not everyone is on the hype wagon. All Obama supporters do is insult people, but they can not name one thing this man has done that he has not benefited from. Name a cause besides his wife's hospital. Nope, because Obama is not about change, but pure political strategy.

[LiberalBuzz]

You obviously didn't listen too well at the RNC convention, did you?

ALL the Neo Cons did was make fun of and mock democrats and their supporters. They mocked public service unless it was of course public service to the elite wealthy of the Thug party,, you know lobbyists, and those who kow tow to them.

[alexis d]

Er, what? I regret to inform you that you are full of crazy.

[Dynamohum]

oh gawd. it is getting stupid in here. Look at for falling tr 0ll s!!!

[magpsych]

What?

[qdog112]

Barack is a STATESMAN. Now chew on that!

[mpamelam]

Clearly despite the speech the Lady is NO DEMOCRAT. To state that She loves Governor Palin is a slap in the face to ALL Democratic Women. As a naturalized older woman who has dealt with discrimination based on gender I am ashamed that someone who has clearly not had to fight for woman’s rights, would support a team that does not support Special Olympics, the minimum wage,Veteran’s benefits,the separation of Church and State. A team that is shutting down investigations into abuse of power and a campaign that continues to spread lies. Honor means Honesty they go Hand in Hand.

My stomach hurts from laughing. Did she really say, "Frankly, I don't like him." or was that part of the parody...that's my favorite line. I can't stop laughing. I mean, can you even make that name up! Take a hike....Lady!

[PioneerKing]

If the good lady is related to Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild. Then you are prety close to the truth about the name being made up.
Mayer Amschel Bauer added Rothschild to his name, all very contrived.
Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild was an agent in human cattle - that's where the Rothschild's family money comes from - that and an 18th rent-a-soldier business.
