Thank you, sir! You did a wonderful Dose .. on one of the most cacophonous-filled days ever! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your opening comments.

Baker just stunned me .. in his harsh statements and almost *ordering* W to change the course. I hope W's self-talk was: fat chance, I'll do what I think is best, and with counsel from my military team. The audacity!!

Mup == the dress story is quite hilarious. Imagine, if you paid almost $10,000 for a dress!! And, at the same event at the White House, there are 3 others in the same dress!. That designer should be shot!

The video's at the site ILW posted, as well, which I've re-posted below. True to her sweetness, Laura went upstairs and changed dresses. But honestly, she looked the MOST beautiful in it.

The Story of the Four Exact Same Pricey Dresses

The link at post 263 goes to a CBS website that is amazingly snide:

First Lady Fashion Faux Pas: Tale Of 3 Red Dresses
Laura Bush Can't Compete, Changes Outfit Mid-Party

(CBS) WASHINGTON It's always one of the biggest nights in Washington for stars and for glamorous fashion, with guests in the spotlight at an exclusive White House holiday reception. The designer gowns are always scrutinized, and on this year's bash, there was plenty to talk about.

Three women donned the exact same $8,500 red Oscar de la Renta dress, a fashion faux pas in itself. But that's just the beginning of this debacle of ladies in red.

It just so happened that First Lady Laura Bush was wearing the very same dress too.

Letitia Baldridge, Jacqueline Kennedy's Chief of Staff and White House social secretary says the gown was beautiful, but triple the trouble was quite the mess.

"They all should have congratulated one another on their good taste and the fact that they could afford the dress," Baldridge says. "Jacqueline Kennedy, when she was first lady made sure, and her couturiers made sure that nobody else wore that dress that season. "

What the He!! does "cant compete" mean?!

Don't you love Democrat first lady being held up as handling her "coutourier" collection in a better way.
