THE WHITE HOUSE: NO SHIRT, NO TIE, NO SERVICE

[defrog]

Is the Super Bowl over yet?

No?

Well, I’ll post this anyway on the off-chance that you’ll see it. Because this is more important than whether the Cowboys beat the Redskins (or whoever).

ITEM [via Def Agent lorilori ]: Former Bush White House chief of staff Andrew Card and conservative talk show host Michael Medved lament that Barack Obama is ruining the White House by not following the dress code.

No, really.

MEDVED: He’s working there late at night. He comes in relatively late, two hours later than President Bush used to come in at his desk. And he’s dropped this rule that everybody has to wear jacket and tie in the Oval Office.

CARD: Yes, I’m disappointed to see the casual, laissez faire, short sleeves, no shirt and tie, no jacket, kind of locker room experience that seems to be taking place in this White House and the Oval Office.

To which I said, “No shirt?”

Economy’s in the tank, unemployment’s up, two unfinished wars running? Leave it to conservatives to dither about f***ing dress codes.



Dumb casual,

This is dF
