Strange, but far less coverage was given the wonderful, accomplished Democratic wives - Michelle in 2008 and Teresa in 2004.

My immediate thought was Amish, after I clicked the link in this thread and saw the blouse. I associate those frills with Amish.

I didn't watch the speech. The blouse wasn't as terrible as I expected, after reading the comments here.
