Let's Play Dess Up with the Americans!
The whole imbroglio with Obama dressing up like who is name is usually confused with I think marks a good time to review the practice of American officials going to foreign countries and dressing in their local garb. Just look at this:  President Bush preparing for his new job at the Ministry of Magic. First question: Did President Bush's staffers confirm this was actual local attire and not some joke? I mean, see someone behind him wearing a suit and looking much less idiotic in comparison; are we certain foreigners aren't like, "Hey! The American President is visiting! Let's see what kind of idiotic thing we can trick him into wearing this time!" They're all probably just laughing behind our backs. And do we ever do this to foreign dignitaries visiting us, like handing a Saudi prince the traditional America garb of a pair of jeans, a "I'm with Stupid" t-shirt, and a John Deere cap and seeing if he'll put that on instead of the usual bed sheet he's draped in? If I were president, I would never play dress up. In fact, not only would I always wear a suit no matter where I visit, I will not talk to any foreigners unless they are wearing suits. You may call that cultural imperialism, but the fact is our culture won the culture wars and everyone needs to grow up and start bowing to that. If you try and talk to me wearing some crazy "local attire," I will declare war on your country. If you try and make me wear some stupid outfit, I will declare extra war. So, I don't care how poor your country is; you better scrounge up enough money to send your leaders to the men's section at Sears if you don't want to be destroyed by America. It's Men's Wearhouse or death; your choice. 29 Responses To "Let's Play Dess Up with the Americans!"
Hey people play dress up everyday. They dress up and go to work and pretend to do their jobs, pretend to give a hoot, pretend to care about their customers, patients, clients and students but what they really think is "when can I get home and get a drink, eat, play video games, watch someone else live (reality TV) or ignore my irritating kids. Man that sounds really cynical. That could be because I always seem to run into those folks who are just having a bad day. I must be just lucky ......oh and cynical. #1 - Posted by: seanmahair on February 25, 2008 05:25 PMThat picture's from Nam, right? They shoulda just gave him some black pajamas... #2 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 25, 2008 05:29 PMHow about dancing, Frank? Should Presidents refrain from that, too? I'm just tryin' to get a feel for your platform. Hey! That symbol on Bush's toga: Free Mason's? #3 - Posted by: Jimmy on February 25, 2008 05:32 PMFreemason's? I thought that was the Triforce from Legend of Zelda. #4 - Posted by: neocon cowgirl on February 25, 2008 05:53 PMThe solution is simple. We must merely begin forcing visitors to our country to similarly dress up like one of our icons. My suggestions: 1) Mickey Mouse 2) Ronald McDonald 3) Any of the 4 original members of KISS After a few dress-up visits to America other countries will rapidly abandon promoting the practice on their home turf. #5 - Posted by: Son of Bob on February 25, 2008 05:55 PMIf it is really local garb than why do people in other countries wear similar hats to look Muslim? #6 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on February 25, 2008 06:29 PM*** Warning!!! *** Grossness alert on #6. The least you can do is warn us Mr. Sarc. #7 - Posted by: Jimmy on February 25, 2008 06:38 PMSorry. Warning: typical obama supporter link above shows orangutan drinking his own pee. #8 - Posted by: Sarcasm Man on February 25, 2008 06:42 PMFrank!! Suits?!!?? Whattya talkin suits for? If I were President, everybody would wear jeans and T-Shirts! Maybe a flannel if the weather is chilly. But suits? SUITS?!? You're not a conservative. You're a Rockefeller Republican. Go play some polo and buy some mutual funds. SUITS?!?!! Gaaahhh! #9 - Posted by: innominatus on February 25, 2008 07:00 PMAre we "dess"ing up America or "dress"ing it up? #10 - Posted by: katablog on February 25, 2008 07:05 PM"How about dancing, Frank? Should Presidents refrain from that, too? I'm just tryin' to get a feel for your platform." When it comes to dancing a United States President should only mosh, bosh, or break. #11 - Posted by: on February 25, 2008 07:12 PM#11 - Posted by: on February 25, 2008 07:12 PM That was me. #12 - Posted by: AR on February 25, 2008 07:13 PM
Or headbang. It would vote for anyone who would headbang in public. Except if it was to Rage against the Machine. #13 - Posted by: Pantera on February 25, 2008 08:39 PM#13 - Posted by: Pantera on February 25, 2008 08:39 PM Kinda sorta falls under "mosh", and I was going generalized. #14 - Posted by: AR on February 25, 2008 08:42 PMI care not for the dress up, I wanna know what "extra war" is because that screams one thing, SUPER AWESOME! #15 - Posted by: Two Dogs on February 25, 2008 09:19 PMWindy day! I’m glad the bottom of that skirt is staying down. That old Marilyn Monroe picture with the skirt blowing up comes to mind for a second. Excuse me while I go throw up… Sarcasm Man, I didn’t know the Aristocrats had an orangutan. Rage Against the Machine: "Day wabby wound yo fabwy wit uh pocket foe uf shell" I am just wondering, where is Dubya's pointy matching hat and wand? #18 - Posted by: GregVolk on February 26, 2008 01:48 AMWowzers Mr. President, is that a howitzer in your boxers, or are you just glad to see us? #19 - Posted by: Dohtimes on February 26, 2008 06:34 AMMost excellent, Frank! Also, if a country wants our president to do some totally gay dance, they get super extra war called down on them! #20 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 26, 2008 07:04 AM#5 - Blackdog FTW. #22 - Posted by: Gabe on February 26, 2008 08:18 AMI am clearly out of my league amongst you witty bastards. The "extra war" comment almost made me spray my half-chewed omlette all over my laptop... well done, ladies and gentlemen. Although I don't think we'll even be needing a military much longer... we've got the New York Philharmonic. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080226/ap_on_re_as/nkorea_ny_philharmonic #23 - Posted by: RedWhiteAndTrue on February 26, 2008 08:58 AMThe president always keeps his howitzer ready when surrounded by commies. It’s Condie’s job to make sure it’s always loaded. I don’t think anyone got the Aristocrats reference about the orangutan. Or at least no one is admitting it. i say we let the president wear whatever and dance however he wants. then, when anyone makes fun of him, we can stick a buck knife in their thigh. you know... to make sure they're not a cyborg agent of skynet, or anything... #25 - Posted by: shane on February 26, 2008 12:21 PMAnd if a country shows up and even a whisper of the UN crosses their leaders lips, we immediately Nuke them out of existence… #26 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on February 26, 2008 01:07 PMYou know with the people the POTUS has to deal with daily he probably needs to dress up and go dancing. Either that or spray the room with an AK-47. Dancing is the better choice, I think. #27 - Posted by: seanmahair on February 26, 2008 02:56 PMIts a good Idea to test for cyborgs, but if he is one,you are toast. I doubt cyborgs would make fun of him, since they are programmed to know that the alternative would have ended machines because they are bad for the environment, using all that metal and fuel- plus being logical they would never vote left, if they can vote? Wait, who would stop a termintor from voting? #28 - Posted by: GregVolk on February 27, 2008 01:40 AM"...I will declare extra war." That was fantastic. I heart extra war. By the way, didn't you have a problem with the Men's Wearhouse - something about them sending you bills you didn't owe? Well, I guess that would still be better than death. #29 - Posted by: kyb on February 27, 2008 03:05 PMPost a comment
