“Funny how journalists love to ridicule pols for
obsessing over their dress—then go nuts when the President shows up in a tan
suit.”—Political commentator Jeff Greenfield, Aug. 28, 2014 tweet
We’re now “celebrating”—if that’s the right verb—the
fifth anniversary of the contrived uproar over Barack Obama’s late-summer tan suit.
I’m glad I had stopped paying attention to Fox News
at that point, because they chose that point to have a major snit over this
apparel, which to them signified not that it was late the dog days of summer
but that it “confirms he’s a Marxist”—something having to do with a dark suit
emphasizing he was serious about the office.
This, from the same cable channel that, in this past
week, had on-air personality Katie Pavlich proclaim, without irony, that she
was “still on Team Manifest Destiny Greenland”—confirming that there’s a clown
car doing an express run from Mar a Lago to the Fox News studio in Rockefeller
Center.
