Of Bush, Kerry, and Bush's Necktie
My fevered brow | 10-01-2004 | By Laz

Posted on 10/01/2004 11:59:30 AM PDT by Lazamataz

I noticed something last night.

G.W. Bush's necktie was askew. It looked unprofessional. I wondered HOW in the heck that could have happened.

Then during the replay, I saw how it happened. When Kerry greeted Bush, Kerry held on to Bush's hand as Bush was walking away. Bush was forced to awkwardly stretch his torso, dislodging the correct placement of the tie.

I initially thought it was all happenstance. But on further review, I saw that Kerry made a point of adjusting his tie after the handshake, just in case the manuever dislodged his too.

Maybe it was an accident, maybe not. I think not. If anyone has contacts to Bush, please advise them of this possible purposeful action, or at the very least, MAKE SURE BUSH'S TIE IS STRAIGHT. I was focused on the tie, it looked so sloppy.

But what's the excuse for Kerry's makeup job? Yikes! lipstick on a horse.

It's a smallish point, but every little bit helps. Please send this observation to people who can influence things.

Is this what you concentrated on the entire debate? His crooked tie? Are you one of those "everything-has-to-be-in-it's-proper-place" female? Or are you gay?

Actually, it was a very clever maneuver. I give the Kerry people kudos for coming up with it, if it was indeed intentional.

Now it is up to our side to respond.

Laz, I noticed the tie as well. That, and his tendency to slump over the podium did not create the best of impressions. He also looked more tired than I've ever seen him. I hope his busy schedule isn't wearing him down physically.

But then again, I heard that today in PA he looked well-rested and perky.

I also noticed that Kerry ate an onion & garlic sandwich and chased it with skunky German beer, thus making Bush's eyes water. Pass it on.

Okay...maybe he didn't do it on purpose, but hey...

Neither. I am a 247-foot tall radiation-enhanced insect that routinely ravages Tokyo, crushing tanks under my massive scaled feet.

Fear me.

It may have been askew, but it was blue, the standard business color this year.

Red ties are out. Of course, Kerry wore a red tie.

I think Bush should eschew the coat and tie next Friday, roll up his sleeves and talk with the folks. He's more relaxed and does a better job in "business casual."

Sounds like you need a big honkin' dose of Lamisil...

Laz, I noticed the tie as well.

Thanks. And to those who did not notice it consciously, I'm sure it was an unconscious factor in the somewhat poor reviews of GW's performance.

Psychology is subtle, and unconscious effects are the most insidious. We must be ever-vigilant.
