Anna Wintour gets fashionably political for Obama fundraiser

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Anna Wintour is becoming quite the fashionable fixture on President Obama's campaign team this election season.

The Vogue editrix hit Chicago on Tuesday - flanked by supermodels Iman and Chanel Iman, designer Rachel Roy and Obama campaign manager Jim Messina - for an evening of haute fund-raising at Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios.

Wintour was on hand to preside over the Windy City debut of the "Runway to Win" collection, a line of Obama-themed clothes and accessories by designers like Prabal Gurung, Jason Wu, Marc Jacobs, Beyoncé & Tina Knowles, Tory Burch, Tracy Reese and Narcisco Rodriguez - several of whom are favorites of First Lady Michelle Obama.

Tickets ran from $150 for a guest pass to sip cocktails and shop the collection to $1,000 for a VIP package, including a photo reception with Wintour and Iman (aka Mrs. David Bowie) and a limited edition bag, to $2,500 for access to the show, the reception and an exclusive dinner party at Oprah's Harpo headquarters. Donations benefited the Obama Victory Fund, according to a dedicated page on Obama's website.

The only fashion accessory she’s missing is a pie in her stuck up puss.

Yeah, those items will be quite ‘collectible’ short time later.

To throw it back at her face.

An amusing collection of desiccated "just add water" liberals.

Tone deaf does not begin to describe this desperate blunder by Obama’s handlers.

Oprah Winfrey went "fashionably political" too.

Didn't work out that well for her, and she has a built-in advantage Ms. Wintour can't possibly match.

She looks so uptight, I bet a semitruck couldn’t pull a piece of greased dental floss out of her butt.

How would you like to be married to that??!!

Have another lemon, Anna.

Just saw her picture over on Drudge . . . very unflattering to someone who fires people who talk to her on elevators or look at her eyes coming down the hallway . . . got lots of wrinkles in her armpits . . . very unflattering for a supremely royal almost goddess-like old bag.

Who dresses her . . . Mooch-elle?

Whether Obama loses or not this 2012 campaign will go into the political science textbooks as the most schizophrenic—curse the rich during the day then suck up to them that night.

Her head’s so far up her ass you can see her ears wiggle when she opens her mouth.

I heard the announcement. It sounded like a cross between Glenn Beck's impersonation of Ivy league accent and Edna Mode, from The Incredibles. You couldn't do a better parody of a condescending liberal

And, if a bus looks like it is going to run you over, it probably is....
