Sounded like a lot of useless fluff to me.

The governor is a politician. Of course she has staff members who's job is to make sure she dresses to make the right impression.

To be honest making the right impression is part of leadership in a disaster where you're getting 24 hour news coverage.

The people need to get the impression that their leaders are competent and in charge.

I don't have a problem with all the emails about wardrobe and how to make the right impression.

My problem is that she didn't do her job competently.

She was not prepared to lead her state through such an emergency even though the state was particularly susceptible to such disasters, had several close calls in recent times, and she had several days of warning as well.

The media is always attacking on form, not function.

They criticize how people look and the impression they give others.

Then they cirticize them for trying to make the right impression.

However, they rarely look at the real failures.
