SUMMER FASHION: Republican Lawmaker Rebuked For Striding Onto House Floor In Hawaiian Shirt, Slippers

Granted, it is summer, when dress codes tend to get a little looser in the face of Washington's starched-shirt- wilting heat. But a slipper-clad Rep. Gary Miller (R-Calif.) apparently took the summer casual look a little too far and he got a dressing down for, well, dressing down!
ROLL CALL reports: During a House vote at about 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Miller strode onto the floor wearing a look better suited to a backyard cookout than the House chamber: a loose-fitting Hawaiian shirt, linen pants and slippers.
The sartorial faux pas even prompted Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), who was presiding over the chamber at the time, to weigh in: "The chair must remind Members that the proper standard of dress in the chamber is business attire, which includes both coat and tie for gentlemen."
But Lee, herself, has also gone summer casual on the House floor, staffers mock!
She’s a woman - she has double standards to uphold.
(dialogue quote from the TV series “Ally McBeal)
She’s a liberal, and liberals are hypocrites
Oh my God. I think I actually prefer the Helen Thomas photos to that one.
Doesn’t that idiot know that Aloha Friday attire isn’t worn on Monday?
I’m still amazed that Rose DeLauro is married!
That looks like uncle Fester from the Adams Family!!!!!
I thought this was an advertisement for a new zombie movie. I would hate to run into that in the dark.
Skeletor lives!!!
Oh, come on, you're a big boy--surely you've heard of people with certain proclivities marrying a "beard."
Wasn’t he the lead singer of Jane’s Addiction?
