What’s with the retro red ties that he, Cheney, and Hastert were wearing? He almost single-handedly made the light blue tie the new power tie.

    I just got my George Bush blue tie (TM) for Christmas, and now he changes colors!

    I was actually looking for this since it was on the SOTU “drinking game” that made the rounds. A blue tie was 1 drink, so I was looking for it.

    Yup–one of my first comments to my wife was that he wasn’t wearing his standard-issue blue tie.
