Bush's tailor is a Frenchman?

[DoYouEverWonder]

Wait until the freepers find out about this. Does this mean Bush is a metrosexual? I thought Bush didn't like French people, especially after they wouldn't join the coalition of the coerced. Mmm, you would think only girly men wore expensive custom made suits?

President Bush's tailor later said that the bulge was nothing more than a pucker along the jacket's back seam, according to the Seattle Times newspaper.

Georges de Paris, who made the suit worn by Mr Bush, said the bulge was accentuated when the president crossed his arms and leaned forward.

The Frenchman who dresses President Bush
By Albert Eisele

He finished the gray-blue, 100 percent wool, super-English Scabal suit shortly before midnight on Sunday, and a White House aide picked it up just before noon on Monday.

As a result, Georges de Paris was able to relax and watch President Bush deliver his State of the Union speech last night, secure in the knowledge that countless people around the world saw his handiwork.

1. I've always thought *'s suits looked ill-fitting.

Not work I'd be proud of. Then again, when you polish a turd, it's still a turd, so perhaps it's not Georges de Paris' fault.

5. They look like he bought them off the rack

2. I wish I could afford a tailored suit

Bush dressed by a Frenchman! bwahahaha! Must be a freedome suit

[kokomo]

3. A pucker that is square, and the size of a radio receiver????

That was the "mother of all puckers!" :wtf:

Are the French getting revenge for the right-wingers dumping wine, changing the word "French" to "freedom"?

8. With 2 debates and 2 bumps on the back, do we expect a 3rd next week?

[AmerDem]

4. yea, I seen a tv spot on that...His suits cost

usually $3,500 according to the same tv show. Sickening, 4 million new people are now in poverty under this dick head and we have money to buy him $3,500 suits. :puke:

6. Those are TAILORED suits??? TAILORED?

You coulda fooled me. Seriously. Looks like he goes to Men's Wearhouse. Nothing against it, Mr. Moonbeam gets his suits there, but damn, I would have never thought his suits were tailored.

11. A FRENCH tailor, no less!!! Damned "murican" hating French.

7. "Bush has ... an S-curve in his spine, which should work against him"

This article is too funny and a little prophetic. Yep, that S-curve in his spine sure did work against him. LOL.


Style points will be critical in debates

The navy blue wool suit is a de facto uniform. "The lapels should be not more than 4 inches," said Georges de Paris, a Washington tailor who has made several suits for Bush. Invariably the suit has "a very slim fit in the chest, one vent in the back," he said. Shirts are usually white, worn with red power ties.

It is with accessories that the candidates differentiate themselves. Bush has recently been wearing French cuffs with gold cuff links, which can reinforce an impression of executive acumen. Kerry wears a yellow wristband from the Lance Armstrong Foundation, an advocacy group for cancer survivors, which may lend a dash of youthful athleticism.

Another message viewers pick up is the authority implied by body language. Does a candidate carry himself like the hunter, or the hunted?

It is imperative, image experts say, that the two stay loose, but not slack. Each must telegraph that he is comfortable in his own skin, because in some sense it comes down to which man you would want in your living room for the next four years.

"John Kerry has the military posture ? straight-up back, a very strong presence," said Kevin Hogan, a corporate public speaking consultant in Eagan, Minn., who has analyzed body language. "George Bush has a little hunch in his shoulders, sort of an S-curve in his spine, which should work against him."

9. spine? what spine?

surely he's not referring to that yellow stripe down the middle of his back

10. "Bush's wireless receiver is Japanese"

[Still_Loves_John]

12. He's been the tailor to every president for a ridiculously long time

Since like Eisenhower or something. There was a big article in the New Yorker about him a few weeks ago.

13. Never noticed ill fitting suits on previous presidents, however.

But then most had a brain and could think on their own two feet.

14. Every GI who's ever been to Korea has better-fitting suits than Bush

and for $3500 you can get a whole closet full of them.

Nice suits. Pure wool with silk linings. Couple, three hundred bucks apiece. Bring odishee a picture of what you want and a spool of thread from the PX because Korean thread sucks, your suit will be done next week.
