crazy pic from the state dinner tonight

[grasswire]

Note that crazy look on George's face, and the ignominious bow on Laura's stomach. Her designer must be a Democrat; those tummy bows of hers keep turning up!

[grasswire]

[stlsaxman]

26. That's one of the scariest movies I've seen in my LIFE!

precious...f'ing precious.

[Kahuna]

7. ROTF.. What other president has been photographed making

such stupid, uncooth faces? Can't wait until President Clark is elected. You'd never catch him making a face like that.

[buff2]

28. Oh,Geez......

He looks like a backwoods hick at his first formal affair wiping his chewin tabaccy spit off his chin! Geesus,I've never seen anyone in public life do the idiotic things he does in public. It's despicable.

[greatauntoftriplets]

2. Once again, Pickles' dress could be a size larger.

Note the way it pulls under her shelf.

[Kool Kitty]

5. A size larger and two shades darker.

What's up with the day-glo orange?

[KC]

11. Maybe

she was thinking of the terror alert color code thing. Whatever the reason, it's awful !!

KC

[Kool Kitty]

15. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Dammit, KC, you just made me spit coffee all over the monitor screen! So, you mean that now instead of waiting for Ridge to change the alert, we just watch Pickles to see what color she's wearing? :yourock: It's brilliant!

[madrchsod]

9. i noticed that too

and the front panel makes her look like she`s gaining weight..yup a real fashion setter..where have you gone jackie k? ,we all turn our eyes to you....

[Kahuna]

3. What a doofus. I actually saw him making that face live..

on CSPAN... He does that mouth to the side thingy. :puke:

[madrchsod]

6. yup ole` georgie

looks a little nutty..but my god what an ugly dress-orange-red formal and yes, those little "slimming" bows.

[Donna Zen]

8. And as we all know

ODL needs to pay more attention to those "foundations." (tsk, tsk)

As Taj might have said:

"he had his face in a permanent frown...But I'll be feelin' so much better if he cake walks outta town."

[Avalon Sparks]

10. OK, OK...

I don't think I've ever commented on any of Pickle's outfits... I kinda like the pantsuits, and Hillary wore them too.

However, I gotta say it.

THAT BOW HAS GOT TO GO!!

It's so freaking stupid looking.

[madrchsod]

13. commenting on pickles

has been fun around here for along time..it`s something to relieve the political stuff and a way to make us all feel better knowing we all dress better than either one of them....

[burythehatchet]

12. Haute Couture

heh..heh

[tishaLA]

16. That's not haute couture, it's HOT HOT HOT couture

it's like a Peter Allen dress.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. Why does he look like Nixon?

[Duncan Grant]

18. It's the psychotic glare...

and stiffness in the body. When he starts hunching his shoulders forward...then you'll know we really got him by the b*lls.

[charlie]

21. Looks like Moe Howard to me

Hey Moe! Hey Moe! A-whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!

[buff2]

23. Because..........

He's a CROOK! :evilgrin:

[eleny]

17. Her dress is wearing her...

and his expression is wearing him. Two misfits.

[roguevalley]

20. rethug women have crappy taste in clothes.

I pity her. It will be dissected.

[pansypoo53219]

22. you can take the woman out of Texas

but you can't take the texas out of the woman.
that is a horrid dress, the skirt line is awful, and that bow. ugh. maybe the color is to distract from george's bender bloodshot eyes.

[KharmaTrain]

19. OK...Next Scandal...Who Tied Whistle Ass' Bowtie?

Surely wasn't him. Inquiring minds need to know.

BTW...what is it with Repugnicans and bow-ties anyway? Paul Simon must be cringing.

[0007]

24. Texas steers looks smarter

The orange is the color that vehicular convicts wear. And junior looks like he had just saw the arresting officer in his DUI charge.

[buff2]

25. That is one ugly dress

It's weird.....all the money those criminals have and she wears all these ugly clothes. That woman has NO taste in clothes....or men either.:puke:

[dofus]

27. Whoever helps her select her clothes

must really hate her. Wouldn't it be fun to get her on an episode of What Not To Wear?

[SWPAdem]

29. Doesn't Pickles make a lot of her own clothes?

I read somewhere that she likes to sew and makes some of her own outfits...that would explain this dress, as well as the 10,000 pantsuits that all look exactly alike. One pattern, with pants and skirt, for two different looks! Simplicity, #6666

[grasswire]

30. he's looking goofy here, too!

[grasswire]

31. as for the orange....

....well, Halloween's coming.

[baldguy]

38. Look at President Kibaki.

Then look at the Usurper-in-chief.


Who looks more comfortable in his tux? Bush has his arms forward, elbows locked - like an ape. Along with his bow-legged, pigeon-toed stance, and akward posture, you'd think he's about to "adjust" his collar or his balls.

[xxqqqzme]

32. that is just one ugly ass dress

She wears the ugliest clothes since Mamie but then Mamie dressed like my grandmother, which she was so, that's ok. But my god, if it wasn't 4 bad taste, this woman would have no taste at all. Remember how magazines would do features on the designers for 1st ladies. Who does her clothes? Their sense of style is as lame as hers.

34. there's been a bow at every state dinner

Courtesy of a freeper: "This was the 4th and she has had a bow, almost in the same spot for every one of them. Mexico, red dress with a bow. Poland the dress with that awful blue/green bow, Phillipines, white dress with bow and now Kenya, red dress with a bow."

[newyawker99]

35. This woman needs some fashion advice!!!

What an ugly dress!! And the bow has got to go!!

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[nannygoat]

39. Maybe a French designer sold it to her on her trip?

Another case of payback being a bitch...

[Merlin]

36. Aw, c'mon. Pickles looks fine. But George is absolutely frightening!

What does a tummy bow have to do with a Democratic dress designer? Just curious.

[Malva Zebrina]

37. pickle puss look on his face and Barbie action figure plastic face on her

He has the attention span of a hyperactive child, exactly one second--that is why he often looks as though he is checking out the crowd rather than concentrating on the task at hand--he is jerky and nervous--his eyes dart around the perimeter. Pickles bragged, on her recent trip to Europe, that she only uses American designers--good heavens--the one who designed this atrocity must have never shown up for the final fitting. The color and the designe emphasizes her fat hips. That little girl bow placed on her waist only serves to bring attention to her drooping boobs, which are resting, if not actually below, her waist. Look at the dress of the other first lady--also a rather zoftic body--but notice how her dress flows and nothing is there in that design to point to embarrassing bulges--the line is lovely and is serving her looks well. Laura looks like a robotic, plastic, heavy in the hip, light in the head, wannabee, wish I were, maybe I am, twenty again.

[tlcandie]

40. It reminds me of a prom pic ..

that is what I thought when I first saw it! Yes, it kind of reminds me of wanting to be young again...where did it all go and for what?!?

[grasswire]

41. just as I thought

The dress was designed by Scaasi. Scaasi is Mother Bush's decades-long designer.

And so he dresses Laura like a frump. Bows on the belly. Can't overshadow Barbara Bush, now! Soon they'll have Laura in polka dots and pearls.
