I think you and I have different associations with the phrase "common  
as dirt".

In my line of work, it means, no manners, no smarts, and no redeeming  
value, and has ZERO to do with her social economic position. A horse  
who is as "common as dirt" is just an unmannered pig that needs to get  
out of my barn. It could have cost $50,000 K and still be common as  
dirt. Lynda can probably back me up on this, if she wants to. The  
common as dirt part, not my feelings about Caribou Barbie.

Hahahahaah...I didn't really mean to say I was some beauty queen, I'm  
not. But you asserted once that you thought most women were jealous of  
her looks, and I just wanted to make sure you knew, that is really not  
a driving factor for me.

And I didn't use it during a political debate.
