Fashioning Deadly Fiascos

Maureen Dowds (NY Times) recent column says: "I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Men are simply not biologically suited to hold higher office. The Bush administration has proved that once and for all. These guys can’t be bothered to run the country. They are too obsessed with frivolous stuff, like fashion and whether they look fat." How can she be serious? Men are not biologically suited to hold office? Where in the hell is that coming from? She goes on to talk about "Brownie" and the recent emails released about him asking whether he looked ok on TV. So, she starts the article talking about how Bush apparently is obsessed with this frivolous stuff "like fashion and whether he lookds fat." But the interesting thing is that her example of this is not in fact Bush at all, it's "Brownie." Another blatant media bias against the President. A story which he had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH (the emails that is), and he somehow takes the hit. Ugh it will never end.

I think that he was concerned about looking good because Bush had his sleaves rolled up in the pictures that the emails were in reference to. The argument was that Bush had his sleaves rolled up to make him look like he was doing hard work; so he was concerned with looking good. Brownie didn't have his sleaves rolled up and therefore he didn't look like he was doing hard work.
I know that this is kind of stupid but I think that this is how Bush got wrapped up in this fashion fiasco.
