We're much too lazy to do a 180° treatment of that paragraph (Substituting "armament industry" for fashion designers, Romney for Obama, lib for con, yada.) but certainly you can imagine.Talk about wearing your politics on your sleeve. An elitist clique of fashion designers has banded together to raise money for celebrity-in-chief Barack Obama and browbeat their customers into supporting him. Even worse, the Beautiful People who dress the Powerful People are putting increased pressure on conservatives to stay out of the business altogether.
Out: Haute couture. In: Hate couture.
You can also imagine the incredible "pressure" being applied:
Wow. Not sure pressure is a strong enough word. Fortunately Malkin found someone (Pro-Romney because he doesn't like to pay taxes or a living wage to women indentured in his sweatshops? Who knows?) to reveal that it's not mere pressure but a threat! And to do a 180 that reveals where the true attacks on women come from.Diane von Furstenberg pitched in two $85 tote bags and has grown more strident about her partisan agenda as Election Day nears. At a fashion event in her New York Meatpacking District store last month, she yelled at clients: "Everyone here better be a Democrat; no Republicans!"
As far as we can determine the real conspiracy here was making Ann Romney appear as if she's a blind woman who lets a six-yr. old Disney Princess fan choose her clothes.Young New York City designer Bradley Scott also spoke up against ideological "persecution" in his industry. "It's really offensive for me, as a designer, to be issued an unveiled threat by someone who could exert an enormous amount of influence over my customers, store buyers and magazine editors," he told me on Tuesday. "I for one want absolutely nothing to do with this attack on women. This pressure upon designers should offend every woman in this country, not just the conservatives."

Comment Censorship Editor:
Crikey, we've had many Akismet/WP comments go into spam lately, we think because Rumproast effed us up. And there's no way to contact those bastards to fix it.
I will take a peep in the TP dashboard for you.
Later Editor:
Nope, nothing visible there. Boss Thers may have more access.
Fuckin' A. Just tried again.
I had the issue before with vs and zrm, too.
Because of fucking akismet, the lameass cobags.

Anti-Kismet Editor:
We had to have VS, N_B & others get us out of the trap too. Bugger comes out ahead again.
I thought maybe it was a email issue (I changed my Chrome id to thenthelightningwill, because that's my youtuber empire). Not that it should matter because I'm using Firefox to post blog comments, right?
Anywho, just tried with the laptop, for the halibut.
No dice.

Got Us Editor:
We just tested it, works for us ... We know we are considered tedious there, but you'd think one or two other dullards would've commented by now, so maybe it isn't all you.

I'm sure Malkin reserved as much rage for the Republican bosses who sent veiled threats to their employees about their voting habits.
and zrm, too.
Cool it with the squiirel spam, and you're golden.
War on Coal Editor:
Republican bosses
And the coal-miners forced to take a day off & to see Romney w/o pay.
