Now it's the shirt's fault?

What is George W. smoking?

A "poorly tailored shirt" caused the bulge?

Bush Blames Poorly Made Shirt for Bulge


WASHINGTON - President Bush sees the value — and the humor — in the idea that aides could secretly feed him advice through a radio receiver hidden on his back.

"Please explain to me how it works so maybe if I were ever to debate again I could figure it out," Bush said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."

After television cameras showed a box-shaped bulge on his back during the first presidential debate, Internet bloggers wondered whether Bush had been wired to receive help with his responses from aides such as White House communications director Dan Bartlett and senior adviser Karen Hughes.

"I don't know what that is," Bush said. "I mean, it is — I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt." LINK

If you believe this latest excuse from George W. Serial Liar, ask yourself one simple question:

Why would George W. Dress Up spend up to $14,000 per suit if a shirt can spoil its drape?

President George W. Bush steps into the spotlight looking like a man fresh off the pages of GQ magazine. His black cashmere overcoat delicately drapes his shoulders, the blue stripe tie radiates against his white shirt and the suit perfectly fits his fit form. What a contrast after seeing Bush's hokey business and Western attire on the campaign trail. The 10-gallon hats and cowboy boots caused many fashion watchers to shake in their boots. But Bush's past style lapses are forgivable because, since his inauguration he's been wearing some of the best tailored garments -- Oxxford suits.

The Chicago-based Oxxford Clothes is the gentlemen's club for the well-dressed. In the summer issue of Forbes' FYI magazine, Oxxford was appointed the best suit to own in the list of "50 of America's Best." The article touted the fact that the suits are still made by hand entirely in Chicago and that pattern pieces are individually cut from one piece of fabric.

When brothers Louis and Jacob Weinberg founded the company in 1916, they were determined to make the best suit. They used the finest fabrics and designed only simple, timeless shapes. This guiding principle ensures Oxxford continues to create topnotch garments for a price --$2,000 to $14,000 --that loyal customers are willing to pay. Oxxford will not compromise quality for trendy appeal. Even today, before a single Oxxford jacket is finished it must go through the same 165 stages of production, 32 pressings and must have the more than 3,000 hand stitches as the original Weinberg brothers' suit.

Just because George W. says it's the shirt's fault doesn't make it so.

Remember what he said about WMDs, vast stockpiles of chemical & biological weapons, and unmanned drones capable of striking the USA within 45 minutes?

Empty suit or stuffed shirt?

Either way, the reputation of a fine tailor means about as much to George W. as the reputation of The United States Of America.
