But the t-shirt has a designer bird on it!

When the Romneys showed up at the CBS This Morning program Wednesday, Ann Romney was sporting a $900 "off-the rack" silk designer t-shirt by Reed Krakoff.  It had an audacious yellow bird  diving from shoulder to breast, not the sort of creation you might find on the rack at Target.   Nobody asked McMitt about it, but I would assume  he would shrug and purr,  "Ann has a couple of them, actually."

The Romney campaign has added another marker to what is evolving as his version of prosperity gospel,
retreating to no one about his inspirational wealth.    The campaign slogan should be "if you got it flaunt it."  Ann did: The first  $900 t-shirt.    Should I check J.C.Penney,  too?

You might want to check your aging eyes rather than J.C. Penney, Abe. To two sets of eyes here, that appears to be a snake rather than a bird.

First reports were that it was a fish. But then someone pointed out that the beak of the bird was buried in her armpit. Whatever, some designers prefer to deal in illusions. So do the buyers!
