What's classier than a Marine in dress blues?

A Marine in dress blues escorting a special needs child to the Cinderella Ball. Semper Fi!

[A Cinderella Ball is] “a unique and unduplicated opportunity” for hundreds of Washington, D.C.-area youth with disabilities or life-threatening illnesses to dress up, pass underneath a ceremonial sword arch (courtesy of 40 Marines from Quantico) upon a real red carpet and through the entrance of The Willard InterContinental Hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue, one block from the White House. And it’s all free-of-charge for the students and their families.

There Cinderella greets attendees and their family members, and everyone enjoys a private dinner, concert and dance.

My family and I regularly support the Cinderella Ball. Thank you U.S. Marines.

Nothing beats a Marine.

On the other hand, nothing is more slimy than the Obamadork all dressed up at a function where even the wait staff has far higher IQs.

Heartwarming. But I prefer OD green. Of course I’ve never been accused of being a fashion maven and it says something about how damn old I am.

I believe the nobamas and their minions in prison orange jumpsuits for the rest of their pathetic lives would be classy.
