BTW, I've always wondered: Where did the pharase "crusty pantsuit" originate?

Tori Clarke is a very busy woman and probably doesn't have time to shop, heck, she may not even like to shop. She just needs a little fashion help which can be easily achieved by an image consultant or a personal shopper.

What guy nitpicks about women's clothing? Is this Gary person gay?

[ISawIt]

Victoria: Piet Mondrian called, he wants his suit back.
He says that if he's not around, just ship it to either
Danny Elfman or Tim Burton.

All kidding aside, it's the message that matters.
Unfortunately her suit (that day, at least) was louder
than any voice up there on the podium.

It would be hard to take her less seriously if she wore
size 98 clown shoes and a round, red-ball nose that
made a rude sound when you squeezed it.

Are we getting a war briefing, or getting an introduction
to the Clown Parade of the Ringling Bros. Circus?

P.S. No, for the record, I am not gay -- appearances to
the contrary.

Excellent work, as usual, RonDog!

Is this Gary person gay?

My money says yes.

[Howlin]

Dunno, but he looks mad at the world:

[MARTIAL MONK]

No

"Perhaps she is color-blind? She's one smart cookie no matter what she wears."

She's the person that thought up the "embedded reporter" idea.

I thought that it was a medical fact that only men could be color-blind.

[StopGlobalWhining]

How petty can these people get--now they're complaining about the dress code--the hatred is breathtaking.

It's seething hatred. Total hatred.

Good for Torie Clark. I couldn't care any more than she does about what she wears. This article just emphasizes the superficiality and irrelevance of the left.

[sinkspur]

Isn't she the Freeper known as Torie?

No. Our Torie's a "he."

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

This catty nonsense has a woman's mark all over it.

Yeah, and there are even a couple of remarks on this thread to which I nearly replied, "Meow."

[Pokey78]

Yeah, I knew it was Hildebeast. I just don't know who came up with the phrase. Whoever it was deserves a medal. hehe

This catty nonsense has a woman's mark all over it.

Or a gay guy. They're worse. I live in California, TRUST ME.

Bush junior's administration

This is what passes for unbiased news reporting from Al-Guardian? There is no such person as "Bush junior." George Walker Bush is the son of George Herbert Walker Bush. There is no "Senior" or "Junior," and in this case "junior" is used as a deragotory term. Why does al-Guardian think this is in any way acceptable?

[RepublicanChick]

Thanks for a big laugh, what a good line! I could care less what she wears as long as she continues doing a great job.

The WSJ chimes in on Ms. Clarke's wardrobe

[proust]

awesome, obscure, Residents bump!

It would shut the fashion police up once and for all if every spokeperson went to Ft. Bragg, picked up some spiffy BDU's and wore them for all news briefings. Of course, it would help if they announced that it was being done to allow reporters to focus on the facts, not on the fashions.

Then again, the 'rats would probably want to check that they paid full price for the clothing....never mind.
