Bundling: it sounds like a fetish or sexual deviance that fetish or sexual deviance, but it's actually a political fundraising practice designed to get around federal limits on campaign donations from individuals and corporations.

Since the average rich and powerful person can no longer hand candidates checks for $250,000, they become "bundlers," pledging to round up a package of smaller checks from their friends, relatives and business colleagues.

Then the bundlers give the grand total — in smaller checks — to the candidate, hoping to win his or her affection and/or a Cabinet post and/or a kiss with tongue.

Okay, so maybe it is a fetish. And a sexual deviance.

Anyway, the New York Times called out both McCain and Obama for failing to release full lists of their top bundlers. It's going to take McCain another week to get that list to the Times — presumably because he's having trouble working his computer — but Obama's campaign scrambled to update its list online.

Scrolling through the new list — 181 names, in addition to the 328 bundlers previously identified — one jumps out.

Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue.

You know what that means. Obama's next national ad will consist of a makeover montage, in which a "stylish" art director helps him choose outfits from a sample closet and teaches him how to walk in heels. Then he'll twirl down the hallway, aglow with confidence.

Now you're probably thinking, "Ugh, the influence of money on politics has got to stop," but I tell you what, you'll be singing a different tune when Obama hands you that top-secret unpublished Harry Potter manuscript.

* Ed Note: Yes, I know that the dress Obama wears in the above photo is Versace and not Prada, but we already had this image floating around and I thought to myself, "How many times am I gonna photoshop Barack Obama into a dress before I die?" That sent me into an existential tailspin, and it was only due to the charming smile, rakishly tousled hair and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches of Adrian Grenier that I was able to get my groove back.*
