Reporter’s attire suits Bush
Here’s the latest from Mr. Fashion.
Two months after he dissed a reporter’s seersucker suit, President Bush had kind words – mostly – for the journalistic wardrobe he encountered at today’s Rose Garden news conference.
“If I might say,” Bush told NBC’s Kevin Corke, “that is a beautiful suit.”
Corke offered thanks on behalf of his tailor, leading to this additional presidential praise: “And I can’t see anybody else that even comes close.”
Bush then corrected himself to compliment the suit warn by CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux.
The president was not as charitable when CBS’ Jim Axelrod prefaced his question by saying, “My best suit’s in the cleaners.”
“That’s not even a suit,” Bush correctly noted about Axelrod’s sport-coat-and-slacks combination.
