Re: It may prove a bit hard for Jeb to convince the average middle-class voter that he's one of them when his wife's penchant for fancy jewelry and expensive shopping trips to Paris becomes known...

Tongue in cheek,
What wife hasn't done the same...

The incident left the Florida first lady deeply mortified and her husband politically chagrined. Jeb Bush said the first lady had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip.
and who among us hasn't splurged every once in awhile...
The ordeal did not stop her from spending freely, however. Less than a year later, she took out a loan to buy $42,311.70 worth of jewelry on a single day, according to records filed with the state of Florida by Mayors Jewelers.

That purchase was part of a pattern by Columba Bush of borrowing to buy tens of thousands of dollars of jewelry at a time from the South Florida store over a 14-year period. Documentation available online, which does not include the details of two transactions made less than six weeks apart in 1995, shows that she spent a total of more than $90,000 at the store.
at least she's not a shoplifter ;))
