Paging Mr. Blackwell. Paging Mr. Blackwell.
Late last month, signs were posted at the White House advising that there would be "no jeans, sneakers, shorts, miniskirts, T-shirts, tank tops and — with bold-face added — "NO FLIP FLOPS" allowed at the White House. Apparently these new rules extend to all who enter the White House, including your run-of-the-mill average tourist.
"As you know, this administration has a strong record against flip-flops," said White House spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore.
This is all they have to worry about? No jeans or sneakers?
The White House notes that discounts are given to those wearing "brown shirts and jack boots. (ok, I made that part up).
Yesterday Karl Rove, making an appearance on Rush Limbaugh's show said Bush's critics are “sort of elite, effete snobs who can’t hold a candle to this guy. What they don’t like about him is that he is common sense, that he is Middle America."
Oh Yeah, Middle America. The people that take vacations wearing 3 piece suits and wingtips.
I wonder if they are going to let Rudy Guiliani in the White House wearing that dress?
Fashionista's!!!

| Who is really surprised by Bush's "PRIORITIES", with Osama still safe and warm and probably less susceptible to spying from the White House than me and you?

| Well, I do have to say that Usama does look dapper in his dress and rifle when he makes his appearances on videotape.

| The only way that Osama will be detained by the Bush Administration is if he shows up at the White House wearing shorts and flip-flops.

| How in the hell do you dress a bush so it looks fashionable? The only thing to do with a bush is trim it, or burn it. Hmmm … Is that a brush fire I smell? You’d think George of the Jungle would sanction flip-flops and such at “his” White House so that he would look spiffy by comparison. But of course he would never get close enough to his subjects for a side-by-side comparison to be made. Adam, there’s no doubt that we are more at the mercy of our own government than Osama. My guess is that there is a complete dossier on you and all the rest of us somewhere in an undisclosed location. To paraphrase, “Show them how and they will do it”, and to-hell with safeguards. MoronInCharge, if Osama shows up at the White House he will in all probability be decked out in the latest bomb and a shiny ammunition belt. |

| I understand that Jeffy Guckert looked very dapper too, when he spent all those nights at the White House...... I wonder when he changed into his 'normal' work clothes there? |

| That sign reminds me of the "No shirt, no shoes, no service" signs some decades ago. But today that is a message from our Federal government to the American people.
The next thing you know, there will be a sign on the door of the Congressional Rotunda that reads "Closed to the public". Or maybe “Out to lunch until further notice.”
Come to think of it, that sometimes seems to be a fact, notwithstanding the absence of the sign.
