1. He is only waiting for an appropriately elaborate one to be designed.

5. Can't you just see him
in one of those North Korean style dictator jumpsuits and elevator shoes? All he would need then is the permed hightop hairdo and weird sunglasses. Could someone photoshop that?

9. I think a C-in-C uniform would be more subtle.
I could see Bush adopting a Comander-In-Chief uniform that looks sort of like an Air Force uniform.

13. Ha! I am reminded of those Members Only jackets from the 80s.
I bet Bush had a Members Only jacket in the 80s.

24. junta boy!
it'd look better with gold braided epaulets and a chest full of badges and ribbons that he gave to himself.

plus he needs a stiff military officer's hat, something with gold braided rope and a big eagle on it.

27. Generalissimo President-for-Life Baby Caligula
Gold epaulets with those dangly fringes, a chestful of Global War on Terra medals, and a purple bandaid for that shaving cut.

7. In my humble opinion,
The military uniform would give him a rash.

8. You mean he isn't already?
He's got actual military uniform peices he's wearing over "office clothes"(slacks, shirt, and tie), with his name, "rank", and li'l presidential seal over each pec and a flag on his upper arm - I consider that a uniform.
And he's got his special li'l uniform "Commander in Chief" ballcap to wear at casual military occasions.

He's got his working uniform (no ribbons, just insignia); he's just halfway out of it all the time to present the look of "being one of the guys" instead of showing his true rank of "Supreme Imperial Commander".
(only half sarcastic, here)

10. Perhaps his hero is Papa Dada, President for Life, Idi Amin of Uganda.
Look for a lot of gold braid and medals.

More than likely he will end up looking like Groucho in one of the Marx Brother movies (I forget which one.)

16. Don't forget the Official Presidential Codpiece
With the Official Presidential Seal on it, of course. No longer to be dressed by Oxxford, boosh** will order his new wardrobes direct from Mattel, designed by Ted Rall.

22. Our 'lil boy just loves playing dress up
You know the mad emporor Caligula used to like playing dressup too.

He had a soldier's uniform complete with army boots (hence his name Caligula translates roughly as Bootsy or Little Boots) even though before he bacame emporor he managed to avoid the usual service in the legions expected of an upper class Roman. He also liked to dress up like various gods and particularly enjoyed protraying himself as Zeus in gold lame tunic and thunderbolt.

26. I must admit that he was adorable in that oriental outfit.
Did you notice the big bulge in the crotch area?

That was a salami he stole from the luncheon buffet.

32. Who remembers Koop and his uniform? What about Rehnquist's special robes?
Remember when Rehnquist had the special impeachment robe made with the gold trim. These people are whack.
