Dubya: Fashion Fascist!

Posted Jul 26th 2007 12:52PM by TMZ Staff

With 543 days left in office, George W. Bush has beefed up security at the White House so much, he's now enlisted the services of one of the most dreaded forces in the Western world -- the Fashion Police!
Pres. Bush
Despite approval ratings at record lows, the ongoing war in Iraq and a health care system in dire straits, Dubya has decided to take on the very serious issue of -- tour group attire! The terror alert has been raised to: Fanny Pack! Signs have reportedly been put up around White House entrances to remind visitors of the dress code: no jeans, sneakers, shorts, mini-skirts, t-shirts, tank tops, and most importantly, NO FLIP FLOPS! Paging the Northwestern women's lacrosse team!

With the new policy, the White House now has a more stringent dress code than the Vatican! Further proof that Bushie wants only conservatives in his White House. The Pontiff merely asks for covered shoulders, no shorts or skirts above the knee. Holy chic!

16. TMZ is the coveted place where Lindsay Blowhan and Embarrass Hilton have more comments related to stories about them than the more serious issues like what's going on in Dubya.

hmmmmmm

17. I am by no means a Bush fan (who is), but do you seriously think that Bush himself made that decision? It was probably made by a White House administrator doing their job who has no input into the Iraq war or Katrina or any of the other serious that we are not dealing with appropriately. It is not appropriate to wear shorts, jeans or flip flops to work when you are working in the nation's capital.

18. if one's intent is to further make the white house seem unapproachable and unfriendly to the everyman, then rage on bush. otherwise, if im on vacation in washington (which i actually am right now) and i want to go to the white house, i don't want to have to go back to the hotel and change into work clothes. its VACATION. not fancy-dress-up-work-time. a

AND - there is a dress code for business in the white house. and i guarantee you, no one who works or interns there wears flip flops to work.

Bush Outlaws All War Protest In United States. In one of his most chilling moves to date against his own citizens, the American War Leader has issued a sweeping order this week outlawing all forms of protest against the Iraq war. 

President Bush enacted into US law an ‘Executive Order’ on July 17th titled “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq”,

21. Thanks, Allison - I glossed over that while reading the McNugget of a story written in the dumbed-down writing that is used here. Yet I am too dumb to read it correctly! That speaks volumes about me.

I don't think that Bush had any input into the matter though, it was probably made by a White House Administrator simply doing part of their job. I don't think the person that made the decision has any control over Iraq or the many other embarassments of Bush.

22. Wow, nice balanced reporting.

"the endless war in Iraq" - Sorry not endless, just

" health care system in dire straits" - only if you believe in free health care.

25. Hey Dumb Asses,

The dress code is only for people who work there! I realize that in your desperation to destroy all things Bush you'll grasp onto anything....but really, get a life.

26. I think the "skank wear" is on its way OUT! I am tired of seeing all the girls butts and breast hanging out. The guys underwear above their jeans. What's wrong with dressing respectfully. There was a time when imagination of what's underneath was appealing. I like my flip flops but I have the brains and upbringing to know when acceptable and when not. As far as the Bush bashers, go the Hell!!!!! You won't find him there. Ha ha

27. Okay, my comment 17 I deleted before publishing when I realized that I was a moron, yet it still posts.

The only thing I can say, in true TMZ-style, is "Sorry Y'all!!!"

28. Do you wear flip-flops to a fine restaurant? I think wearing appropriate attire to the White House is not out of order. Why don't the stinky libs whine some more...boo hoo, I can't dress like a hillbilly wherever I want...my rights are being violated. Get some dignity.

29. Spare me Harvey! Try writing the exact truth to a story instead of the tree hugging liberal slant! You and TMZ would receive more respect! There is no need to make up so called facts in order to be cute! How nice it would be for you and your staff to relay the facts and let the people decide!
