Did a Flag just throw up?

Connolly deserves the top spot for worst dressed; he looks like a total douchebag. At least Cuccinelli's drawstring getup was functional!

[Not Chuck Robb]

just in case we needed one more reason to keep flag burning legal...

i think it would be a heinous crime NOT to set fire to this ensemble

[Not Robert Roberts]

If that's not desecration of the flag, I don't know what is!

It's a cheesy shirt for a cheesy holiday.

I think Gerry looks kinda cute!

Come on, Ben, Gerry's got to be #1. Unlike Cooch, he knew he was walking in the parade. I mean, yikes.

Although when Cooch was wearing the yellow hat to go with the shorts, that might put him back over.

[James Young]

That shirt is either an argument for the flag amendment, as a desecration in and of itself, or against it, as a reason FOR burning it.

[Ken Cuccinelli]

Okay, I'm just tuning in here, and there is NO WAY that my understated, somewhat faded (i.e., quiet as far as color goes) knee-length, red and blue striped shorts come anywhere near this screaming monstrosity.

I think Ben either got a phone call from my wife suggesting my low fashion ratings to 'teach me a lesson' (she objected to the shorts, backed up by my daughters), or he was cranky b/c I mockingly pointed out that he had actually shaved to celebrate America's birthday.

Gotta love an elected official who can take it... Where's Connolly's response?

[Craig]

Whoa, Ken jumps in and darn if he isn't right. Gerry's attire was definitely worse.

[James Young]

Great post, Ken. And "screaming monstrosity" is a phrase worthy of Peggy Noonan.

[Not Jack Herrity]

I saw that shirt in the flesh. The picture doesn't come close to doing it "justice." I hope he didn't pay for it.

[Bens Face]

Wow Benny shaved...amazing. lol

[Fan of Integrity]

Great Title.
You gotta hand it to him for being "most spirited" as far as the politicians go.
Wonder what he does for Halloween, Valentine's, etc...

[Dannyboy]

That is absolutely horrid. I think I like this picture less than the "Media Whore" picture!

Anon 11:24. I'm surprised no one has jumped down your throat. "A cheesy holiday"! Time for some History 101. Better yet...bite your tongue when you contemplate such idiotic statements.

NHL- Do you think if you started taking certain meds it might help kick start a sense of humour?

Hmmmmmm, probably not.....

Oh and by the way, there is such a thing as freedon of speech and expression.

You must be one of those boneheads on the Webb campaign.

[phriendlyjaime]

That is the funniest title of anything, ever. Even if I am permanently blinded by looking at the picture.

It takes a real man and a confident politician to wear a shirt like that!

[Not Huey Long]

Anon 1:51. Exactly how was the first post amusing? If you find that humorous, then maybe you need a funny-bone transplant. Gerry's cute...ROFL...please.

NHL- I pity the fool who cannot see the humour in a good ribbing at the tacky fanfare of political opportunists as they wave their sweatshop manufactured flags, while selling empty promises under overly bright red whites and blues.

"Cheesy" is but a light and witty description at best.

Personally, I don't see why we don't just blend all the colours together and unite under "lavender".

Gerry does look cute, not in the Sean Connery sense, but more like a cartoon.

[Not Huey Long]

Mr. T is that you??
