" yeah well i've got a jackass intern wearing seersucker"
"Seersucker is actually very comfortable and does keep you somewhat cooler compared to a regular suit."
"but at what cost... at what cost.."
"The Cost? Your soul and ability to woo northern women."
"who wants northern women anyway?"
"just wait until next Thursday, they'll be lazy douchebags in seersucker"
"Why is there an intern wearing seersucker socks in Cannon? I almost fell over laughing"
Even the President has had a seersucker-bashing past...
President Bush called a little last-minute press conference this morning at our news workspace across the street from the White House and just ripped into Ken Herman of Cox Newspapers over his choice of seersucker.
You'd think after the recent contretemps when Bush mocked LA Times reporter Peter Wallsten for wearing sunglasses in the Rose Garden that the president would be a little gun-shy about personal remarks at press conferences. Think again!
Herman came to work today not improbably attired in a seersucker suit of two shades of brown on a field of cream. He drew Bush's notice by kibbitzing about dancing during an exchange between the president and Helen Thomas.
PRESIDENT BUSH: If I ask for any comments from the peanut gallery, I'll call on you, Herman.
Q Mr. --
PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah. By the way, seersucker is coming back. I hope everybody gets it. Never mind.
Herman: It's the summertime east Texas county commissioner look.
Later, when Bush was asked about the Lieberman Senate race:
PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm going to say out of Connecticut. (Laughter.)
Herman: It's your native state, Mr. President! You were born there!
PRESIDENT BUSH: Shhh!
Q How can you stay --
PRESIDENT BUSH: I may be the only person -- the only presidential candidate who never carried the state in which he was born. Do you think that's right, Herman? Of course, you would have researched that and dropped it out for everybody to see, particularly since I dissed that just ridiculous-looking outfit.
Herman: Your mother raised you better than that, Mr. President.
PRESIDENT BUSH: I did. So I'm not going to say it --
Q It was Al Gore --
PRESIDENT BUSH: -- and I don't want anybody to know that I think it's ridiculous-looking.
Herman, who has covered Bush since 1993, got called on later in the press conference and asked about Iraq, and whether Bush believes the ends will justify his strategy there, or whether the president doesn't care if he ever wins public support for it.
Herman: Thank you, sir. Go ahead.
PRESIDENT BUSH: I don't need to now that you've stood up, and everybody can clearly see (the suit) for themselves.
Indeed Bushy, indeed. Everyone can clearly see that for better (or mainly for worse), Seersucker season is upon us.
