Barneys Window -- Anti-McCain?

There's one store potential First Lady Cindy McCain may want to think twice about before dropping any of her beer heir millions ... Barneys New York.
Obama and McCain
The high-end NYC department store's windows currently feature paintings of all the First Ladies of yore and include portraits of both Michelle Obama and Mrs. McCain. While all the works by artist Laurie Munn were made to the women's general likeness, Cindy's looks uniquely ghoulish.

So the question -- by putting the pics up, has Barneys not-so-subtly endorsed Barack Obama? We contacted the store -- a little defensive.

A rep said the the pics are an artist's interpretation. We pressed and mentioned it was Barneys decision to plaster the pics in its windows. The rep told us to go talk to the artist, adding, "We do not take any political stance."

46. No wonder most of your women want lips like ours, hips like ours, ass and breast like ours and guess what we have it all naturally. So while most of your girlfrends and wives are walking around looking like dollar store barbie's we sit back and laugh with our phat asses.

Dominique- get the dictionary and look up the word racist. You posted a rant about "your women" thats a racist comment.

Women are women and we are held to a rediculous standard in this country. A person cant even get a job in my city unless they are a size 2. I personally like women to be of a healthy weight, like a size 8. I think that there are as many beautiful women of both races. Its not about how we look - its about how we treat each other. Michelle Obama doesnt care for the Caucasians for her own personal reasons and she has no place in the mansion if she cant get over it. I dont care what the first lady looked like - Laura Bush always looks great- it didnt help our nation at all.

Cant we all get along?

51. Just because you "claim" you've never used the N-word doesn't mean jacksh**! The truth is, you are a white bi***! You give smart, intelligent white women a bad name with your hillbilly ignorance. Keep your racists thoughts to yourself hick! We white women in NYC don't talk like you and laugh at people like you. How dare you call a potential first lady a washer woman. You're a disgrace, you pig. Please don't speak for the rest of us, you'll only succeed in pissing us more intelligent women in "Real America" off and embarass yourself.

52. 100% Me I have no anger toward whites, but calling michelle a washer woman, a hood ho and other names does. What is the point of that?

When nothing racial is being said about Mrs. McCain, but people take offense to me voicing something that is fact,

53. I think this pic is actually giving Cindy McCain justice. She is much more uglier than the painting.

54. Dominique , Its not fact- thats the point.

57. Comment #5 You are a breath of fresh air. Everyone cannot see what is comming if Obama is elected. They think he is going to save them (from themselves) but things will get worse. I fear for this country.

58. JeezLouise so I'm racist for defending black women? I'm not even all black my damn self genius. You made the statement calling her a washer woman and I'm racist lol.

You must have swallowed your brain and it came out of your ass.

60. At first, I thought the one of Cind McCain was of Tom Petty. Yikes! I think they are both offensive, but Cindy did get the raw end of the deal. Hers is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more uglier than Michelle Obama. But then again, Michelle Obama doesn't naturally look like a robot. *sings* Electric Barbarella by Duran Duran.
