Matthews: 'Precious' ex-Bush aide 'dainty' about how Obama dresses

[RamboLiberal]

Former Bush aide Andrew Card has gotten the attention of a few cable networks because he recently criticized the way president Obama dressed in the Oval Office. Card thinks the president should always wear a jacket while at his desk.

"Isn't former Bush chief of staff Andy Card getting a bit dainty?" MSNBC Hardball host Chris Matthews asked.

CNN recalled a picture of the former president without a jacket in the Oval Office.

"Perhaps Card did not see this picture -- oh, yeah, of President Bush taken two days after his inauguration. It clearly shows Bush in the Oval Office there, but not wearing a coat. Perhaps Card is also unaware Presidents Ford, Carter and Clinton were photographed in the Oval Office without wearing a jacket. In fact, Clinton was photographed wearing a short-sleeved shirt and a flannel shirt in another shot," said CNN's Kiran Chetry.

Matthews noted a few "smart decisions" Bush administration officials made while "smartly dressed."

"Starting a war over a baseless argument," Matthews noted. "Bringing a government in surplus into adding more national debt than all the previous presidents put together. Oh, yeah. Letting an economic boom under Clinton become an economic catastrophe. If that's dressing for success, I'd prefer shirt sleeves."

1. Andrew may be just attempting to suppress his urges to recall Obama walking on the beaches of Hawaii

:shrug:

2. Matthews uses feminizing language as the ultimate insult to men. He's a sexist jerk. nt

[ecstatic]

3. Matthews can be sexist at times, but Card is playing the role

of "fashion police" and deserves to be called out on his hypocrisy.

[Captain Hilts]

5. Yes, Card is an idiot who doesn't know history.

And has no perspective of what is important.

[GinaMaria]

14. and what the hell does he know about fashion or taste?

Seriously, if I want fashion opinions I'll tune into E!

[YOY]

4. Bush "smartly dressed"?

Glad they did one thing "smart".

[Cha]

8. Oh, I'm sure someone can come up with

a pic of bush in dumb clothes.

[YOY]

11. Blue shirt with rolled up sleeves.

His mommy didn't dress him but his aides sure made sure photo op boy was ready for every occasion.

[GinaMaria]

15. The clothes do not make the man

Whatever 'smart' dressing is, there was no way to cosmetically improve his lack of smarts.

[bullwinkle428]

16. And here it is...

[Cha]

17. I knew it! Somebody let

him dress himself that day.:silly:

[jenmito]

6. Hmmm...so Bush LIED (again) when he said that he insists people, including himself, wear jackets

in the Oval Office. Obama never lied about his "dress code." Just one more lie by Bush (brought on by a member of his own admin.).

7. I saw it

I laughed. Thought Tweety scored one for the good guys.

9. No Manly-Man Crush for Card, then?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. Well, I don't think he's seen Mr Card in a flight suit yet. nt

[Ilsa]

12. But, but, but, it's a sacred site! It's a holy shrine! Bush even put the sun

in that room (on the floor for everyone to walk on).

I guess Card wore his American Flag lapel pin on his PJs?

[izzybeans]

13. The least productive employees in my office are the only ones concerned with dress codes.

It's about appearance rather than reality.

Speaks volumes of Card.

18. Andrew CARD .... is a RETARD

who gives a RAT'S ASS about that worthless little worm. His 15 minutes of INFAME is over.
