Bush chooses posh tailor from India to "drape him in Western outfits"

[Bluebear]

Note: this is not satire.

NEW DELHI, FEB 25: The first family of the United States has chosen Grover Tailors in Delhi's posh Khan Market to drape President George Bush in western outfits.

The US President, who is visiting India from March 2-5, will have a customised couturier at his beck and call 24 hours. Designs from the White House (probably of Laura, Jenna and Barbara Bush) have been forwarded in advance and the tailors are working extra hours to deliver on time....

The couturier will be given a room at The Maurya Sheraton, the luxury hotel where Mr Bush will be staying. Suits will be delivered within 24 hours of the order. It's not only the President but other top officials like Condoleezza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld, expected to accompany the President, will also be provided luxury costumiers.

On the 12th floor in the embassy control room in Maurya there is also a notice for other officials who want to avail of this service.

1. Real shitkickers, but

tell me, people who know cowboy boot custom--has the flood come with those pants or are they that short to display the boot?

[napi21]

3. HAHA! That's what happens when you try to wear your regular suit with

shit kickers! They aren't made to go together!

[MuseRider]

11. Hee Hee

This is just WRONG.

I do horse and cowboy stuff and I have never ever ever seen boots worn like that. His pants just must be that short because he is 1) an idiot (yes) 2) is not a real cowboy and probably has never really know one (yes) or 3) to show off his presidentin seal on his boots (yes)

Cowboys scrunch over their jeans because when you ride you want that extra material to keep the brush from getting up your pants legs. There may be other reasons but from experience I do know that they are helpful long and scrunched.

He looks like a total idiot but then that is nothing new. Just another fake cowboy, just another of his affectations.

[Leopolds Ghost]

19. Re: Wheres da flood? Note the Juxtaposition of the OP's Katrina pic. :-)

Bush wouldn't want to be caught in a monsoon without his high-water pants and waterproofed cowboy-boots, now would he? :D

[donco6]

43. Never wear brown boots with black pants!

Duh. You can wear any color with jeans, but with black wool slacks you have to wear your black boots.

[napi21]

2. He looks like he's wearing a damn cosstume in that pic!

I'm sure the designer he chose is very good, but there's only so much he can do when draping a ...naw I won't say it.

[Bluebear]

4. Who's paying for His Majesty's new wardrobe?

I wonder.

[Bluebear]

5. And can't he just pack suits like everyone else does?

Does his Highness need new threads custom-made for every trip? What an elite.

[Erika]

9. The corporate global king does not buy/do American

chlothes or ports.

[Bunny]

32. Seriously. Doesn't he already own some suits?

Why can't he just throw them in a garment bag and take them along? He needs brand new suits custom-made within 24 hours, when he's only going to be there for three days? :wtf:

[NastyRiffraff]

6. Dressing the Emperor

So, the tailor cuts, drapes, checks...only air. Chimp is puzzled...he doesn't see anything; in fact, he looks naked to himself. But the tailor and his assistants are admiring...telling him he looks like the leader of the world, and so handsome the women will be eating out of his hand! They're so sure of themselves, and more important, they flatter him, so Chimp smiles widely and thanks them for his wonderful new suit.

So, Chimpy marches proudly to the first state dinner, sure that his new suit enhances his power and his manhood.

Will there be a little child pointing out that he has no clothes?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. Everybody knows he's buck-nekkid.

But KKKarl keeps telling him he looks great.

[aquart]

7. Didn't his American tailor lie for him about the bulge?

Someone should go back and ask that guy again.

[QC]

8. He looks like Karl Lagerfeld in that top picture. n/t

[rucky]

10. He is one sari excuse for a cowboy. n/t

[Bluebear]

23. rimshot!

[rucky]

31. thank you, thank you. I'm here every Tuesday. n/t

[msatty99]

13. Satanic!

That photograph is just plain Satanic! I don't think I have seen
a scarier photo of our dear leader than that! I guess its the black
overcoat, satin striped pantleg, Black eye glasses, white stetson blood
red boots...he looks like a freak out of a bad horror flick!

Can someone enlarge the things he holds in his hands? I would not be
surprised if it wasn't Aleister Crowley or the Satanic Bible.

But wait!...Now he is starting to remind me of an old queen! You know
one of those vicious old girls that used to be such lovely 'bottoms'
but now are way too old to party or attract the kind of ...oh
never mind...I am just terrified!

[Erika]

14. He looks like a Las Vegas cowboy

But then he was raised in New England.

Michael Jackson dresses better and doesn't bill the taxpayers for his payments to tailors from India.

[CoffeeCat]

15. Junior looks like that bad dude in the Sponge Bob movie...

...the bounty hunter guy who was sent to stop SpongeBob and Patrick...

[spindrifter]

16. If I were Pickles

I'd be hiding the freakin' hat before he wears it again. That thing is an insult to the office of Prezindint.

[Saboburns]

17. Egads.

It's the Hamburglar.

[Elwood P Dowd]

18. Somebody told me that Bushit's family spends $500,000 a year

just on clothing. I can't even afford a paint job for my 1994 Buick. x(

[Buns_of_Fire]

33. $500,000 a year... to wind up looking that sorry...

Hell, I can make that family look JUST as sorry for 1/10 of that! (That figure includes my $48,000 salary, of course.)

[Deja Q]

20. Why won't the Indians hire him away from us?

They'll take jobs from everything else.

And, quite frankly, their booming economy means they need more Boeing personal aircrafts, televisions, and to indulge their tastes in "American Pizza"... (sorry, paraphrasing and quoting an article I read a few days ago that was as brash as anything I could think of...)

[Leopolds Ghost]

21. Is it that Indian tailor who puts ads in US papers promising to

"Drape the discerning US executive in the finest closely fitted Western attire" and promising the end of the "ill-fitting American suit" thanks to the miracle of outsourcing and on-time delivery? If only they could outsource the office of the Presidency to India, come over once every 4 years, take polls, return to India and select an appropriate President.

[July]

22. Costing us how much, exactly? nt

[davidinalameda]

24. the two Secret Services guys are wondering

what the fuck does he have on???

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. Who's paying for this preening of the little Elitist jerk off?

The U.S. taxpayers? I'll bet we are. :argh:

[Bozita]

28. Cost of flying a 747 from Andrews AFB to New Delhi ... round trip?

Just put it on my tab.

Any chance for a quickie fundraiser in New Delhi?

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. Just put it on all of our tabs!

And not the Haves and Haves Mores IOW bush's base! How disgusting he is! And how delusional his real base is, in that they don't realize how much he can't stand them! FOOLS!

[Bluebear]

30. "at his beck and call 24 hours."

Little Lord Pissypants needs to keep a tailor on call 24/7? Talk about elite!

[MisterP]

41. accidents happen any time: just as President Ralph Wiggum

"Why do people run away?"

[Bluebear]

45. LOL!!!

[JI7]

26. he is one ugly mofo

at the very least if he was going to waste our money on these things he could look good or decent. but he is hideous.

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. He's just an arrogant a$$hole, BIG TIME! Oh and it should be evident

to all that he is very insecure and lacking in self esteem.

[DenaliDemocrat]

34. Drugstore Cowboy

We had over 1000 head of hereford and agnus, the only time my dad and grandpa wore a cowboy hat was when they got all dressed up because we were taking the cattle to the sale.

This idiot never grew up. He is like my four year old playing cowboy!

George, there is an unwritten cowboy rule....

Once you have been a male cheerleader, you are officially banned from every being a cowboy. It is in the bylaws. Even the guys on BrokeBack Mountain knew you can't be a cheerleader AND a cowboy.

[Buns_of_Fire]

35. Brown boots with charcoal pants. Tsk. Tres Gauche.

And that HAT? PUH-LEEEEEEEEEEZE! This guy desperately needs a visit from the Fab 5.

[trof]

36. "Where hustle's the name of the game"

We got our very own Rhinestone Cowboy.

"Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me

Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a Rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone"

yee-haa
:-(

[Dees]

37. Fine as long as the classless first family pays for it....n/t

[susu369]

38. luxury costumiers - how very French

Now where is that lipstick for the pigs....

[flvegan]

39. Isn't the cow "sacred" there? Maybe he'll leave

the leather boots home, lest he offend.

But then, what does he care. Obviously little, considering the 2/16/06 picture from NO.

[NYCGirl]

40. Looks like the Clintons availed themselves of the tailor's services, too:

In 2000, when President Clinton visited India, Grover Tailors did western attire for Chelsea and Hillary Clinton. Chelsea visited the shop in person.

[Bluebear]

44. They also had a big surplus and no Katrina.

This kind of excess is just gauche under the circumatances!

[Carni]

42. Why does he look like Truman Capote to me?

I know Capote didn't dress in western gear but this look reminds me of him.
