What Comes Between the Obamas and Their Fundraiser?
Jun 17, 2008 09:32 PM EST
Remember the famous Calvin Klein jeans commercial where
a 16 year old Brooke Shields indicated that she wasn't wearing underwear?Well, it doesn't look like much will come between the Obamas and Calvin Klein -- who is
hosting a "high dollar" fundraiser being headlined by Michelle Obama.
I have no problem with Barack taking it upon himself to
preach upon the importance of parenting and fatherhood to "regular folks" as he did on Sunday, and I agreed with much of what he said. But if he's going to do that, he might want to follow through himself by shunning someone like Klein -- who may be rich and famous, but who's had to withdraw
ads that were little more than kiddie porn.
