*Gasp* Why I NEV-UH in all mah years

In a photo provided by The White House, President Bush stands with members of the Northwestern University women's lacrosse team during Championship Day at the White House, Tuesday, July 12, 2005, in Washington. The photo shows four of the nine women in the front row wearing flip-flop sandals. The choice of footwear has prompted a mini-controversy, with family members and some other players insisting the summer footwear staple was too casual for a visit with the president.

[maddezmom]

3. perfect......

:D

[Ripley]

4. LOL!

Good one! They also should have worn blue bracelets.

However, I must admit if I were to get my picture taken in the White House, I wouldn't dress so casually. I mean hell, even Gannon wore a tie.

7. I love it...

good one, hippiechick! :evilgrin:

[getmeouttahere]

2. This would be one time....

where I would be glad not to be part of any championship team that visits the WH...I wouldn't go!

[obxhead]

5. too subtle of a statement.

They should have all turned their backs and given him the finger.

[politicaholic]

6. The Prez wanted them barefoot, but there had to be a compromise...

Bush - "These netty sticks must be very hard to use in the water."
Aid - "Uh...sir...this is a field sport."
Bush - "Oh, well, perhaps we should get a couple of their horses in here to pose also."
Aid - "Sir...nevermind."

8. from the good grief news desk

this is what a non story looks like

[spanone]

11. This was a BIG STORY on the Today Show this morning.

Of course, they only tackle Big Stories.

30. Good Grief

9. I guess the two women on either side of him drew the short straws.

Poor kids.

10. Hey, it's OUR house. If we want to wear flip flops when we are in OUR

house, then why (imgaine your favorite epithet here) not???

12. They look great.

Bunch of hotties.

It'd be a nice picture if dumbass wasn't in it.

What a stupid controversy.

[linazelle]

29. 'cept the one on the far left who looks like she's wearing a see thru top.

Could just be the light....but I'm just sayin'...

[Montauk6]

13. Maybe they heard he's into feet?

[bunny planet]

14. People are flip-flopping at the WH.

and I don't mean the ladie's Lacrosse team.

[VOX]

15. **Nothing** is too casual for a phony president.

Let's have a REAL president, then maybe he'll get the socks-and-shoes treatment.

On edit: They look terrific, and it's also 95 degrees in DC, with the usual high humidity. Hell, I'd wear flips myself.

[Vickers]

16. Are the same ninnies complaining about that stupid belt buckle he wears?

Didn't think so. :eyes:

[northzax]

17. they are pretty casual, actually

and the one third from the right? that skirt is above her knees!

[underpants]

24. Oh My!!

I feel the vapors comin' awwwn!

[northzax]

27. it's not a story

that the media should cover, but frankly, if I was invited to the White House to meet the president, I'd wear a suit. As a basic rule, wear what you'd wear to a job interview, it's a sign of respect. even if you don't respect the man, respect the office and the history. These young women should have known better.

but in all, who cares?

A mini-controversy . . . over footwear.

These are the kinds of things the Royalty Republicans worry about.

(goes into male pig mode)Those women are HAWT.(/pig mode)

[Drifter]

19. I posted the following ...

to a non-political website, in response to some RW nut case.

This is an Outrage ...

Those girls have every right to be embarrassed, standing next to that idiot.

[Schema Thing]

21. That's what girls are wearing with skirts this year, from my observation

Like it or hate it, it's current fashion.

[Walt Starr]

25. My wife told me they are designer flip-flops

Cost like $125 a pair!

Go figure...

[Javaman]

26. All I know is: everyone of those ladies could, individually, kick his ass.

[Rex]

28. President? Not by my count he ain't.

Just some Ahole that bought the WH and SCOTUS. President hahaha, good one!
