WHEN TIES ATTACK OUR EYES…PRESIDENTIAL EDITION

So here’s the deal.  President George W. Bush gave a speech on Tuesday addressing the current economic conditions roiling the country.

And for some reason yet unknown to us, Bush veered from his ubiquitous blue ties to….green?!?!  Someone tell this man it’s not St. Patrick’s Day! WTF! Is a green tie supposed to represent all the money him and his cronies are raking in? Hmmmm.

The bold contrast makes Dubya look more like a novelty used car salesman instead of leader of the free world.

We’re all for experimenting with color, but seriously who sanctioned this? Not one of his advisers said, “Um…Mr. President…you’re about to be on national TV….um…you sure you want to do that(wagging a finger at the tie)?”

For years now red or blue ties have been the safest bet and apparently they still are.  Bush, lose the green tie.  What’s this lame duck gonna wear next, paisley?  Oh well…looks like our economic stimulus checks are going to the optical profession to heal our seared retinas.
