[thirst for first]

whee!

[Drew]

They look good to me.

[whappity whap]

That is the sound my ramparts make when I run into the White House...

[Somewhere North]

Of course, flip flops are also technically known as "thong sandles" which just brings back all kinds of white house memories...

Still, this time they were worn on the feet and nobody flipped a strap at the president so I think it was all in good taste.

[ceeg22]

I have Tootsie Roll (R) flip-flops that sell for $20, does this make them dressy?

[Somewhere North]

Of course I certainly can't forgive that one girl in a black dress. That is going too far! Are there any microscopic stains on that dress??

[queensbee]

these kids were on the today show yesterday. they are going to auction the shoes off on ebay, and donate the $ to charity. sheesh.

[qetzal]

Aaah, who cares.

[mudstuffin]

like a mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump,

like a mississippi bullfrog sittin' on a hollow stump,

I got so many women I don't know which way to jump.

flip flop fly I don't care if I die

flip flop fly I don't care if I die

don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.

Gimme one last kiss and hold it a long long time,

Gimme one last kiss and hold it a long long time,

I wat you to hold that kis till I feel it in my you-know-what.

flip flop fly I don't care if I die

don't ever leave me, don't ever say goodbye.

Name the artist anybody?

[Aunt Nancy]

Hmmm...the President was surrounded by flip-flops. How is this news? Doesn't this happen all the time, or doesn't the President meet with Congresspeople anymore?

[Aunt Nancy]

mud - would that be "Joliet" Jake Blues?

[Tamara]

I just wanna know why Bush is on crutches! :P

[VictoriaE77]

Who the frig cares about what kind of shoes they were wearing?

And what kind of mother complains about her daughter to the media?

I'm cranky today.

[Somewhere North]

Now, now... there is no reason to suspect anything just because the president was surrounded by women in thongs. I have it on good authority (Karl Rove) that Condelezza Rice has been known to sport a thong or two when necessary for the security of the US.

[insomniac]

Tamara - he'll 'lacrosse' that bridge when he gets to it.

A White House that's riven with scandals
Puts a ban on the wearing of sandals
'At a banquet one knows
Keep a lid on ones toes.
Because of the drips from the candles.'

[Somewhere North]

And Donald Rumsfield has a whole collection of thongs which he brings out for special events.

According to Karl...

[just sayin']

white house flip flops anagrams to "sleep with if lush poof".

[Funny Name]

The team's breakfast of choice: Flip Flop Flapjacks.

[PeeJay]

When it comes to presidential daughters, I believe a flip-flop is a tequila shot done sans the use of ones hands.

[Guin]

But were their toenails painted?

[Christobol]

You know, I actually voted for that footwear before I voted against it.

[long tall rapper]

(to the tune of This Old Man)

That ol' dubya,
he so fly,
he wore flip flops with his tie,
with the flip flops,
hip hop,
and Ariel Sharon,
that ol' dubya got it goin' on.

[elle]

"I did not have sex with that footwear!"

[elle]

I did not have inappropriate relations with that footwear!

[elle]

Err....the second one was the PG version?

[Christobol]

elle - I like the edit. Because, as we all know, sex with footwear is not inappropriate, depending upon what you mean by cigar.

[U.O]

Wowser!

Those LaCrosse players are really sneaky ... editorializing with their feet!

[Christobol]

Also, when his Billness said: "I did not have sex with that woman", he did not lie. He discreetly pointed at Hillary when he said it.

I bet.

[Cody]

mud - The Brian Setzer Orchestra did a version of that song for Chicken Run.

(I'm guessing on the artist... I know I've got the movie right)

[Punkin (also cranky today, wassup Victoria?) Poo]

Considering my (low) esteem for our (your, not mine) President, he'd be lucky if I brushed my teeth before meeting him...

I'll raise my dress code when he raises his IQ.

[Guin]

*hear hear, Punkin*

[M.C.]

Punkin'-

The thang is, Bush don't care nuthin' 'bout that.

This is coming from the stiffs that are more interested in holding up tradition via appearance than society via functionality and common sense.

But if it's any consolation, 'Flip Flop Flap' anagrams to 'Bush is a retard'.

[Aunt Nancy]

The bad news: Bush hasn't done everything right.

The good news: He lowered our income taxes, and the rebates we got allowed me to buy new school clothes for my girls in years that money was tight.

Hmmmm....scales tip even, IMO.

P.S. George - I could use another rebate. The surgeon got all our money this year.

[Sara Holt]

Hey Dave......yes, we do care about the issues......having cleared that up....come check out my art, fellow artist. thanks and have a great one....

A Coke and a Smile,
Sara

[Eleanor]

Neiman-Marcus has lots of designer flip-flops in their catalogs. One pair sells for $138.00 (I am not making this up), so I really don't think they're for the "trailer-trash" set!

Just sayin'...

And further...I agree with Vic - what? Her mother was so embarassed that she complained to the media to draw further attention - Sheesh!

[U.O]

... um ... any guesses as to which political party's beliefs the authors of the snopes.com article cited by reneviht support?

(Yeah, I know, it's a clumsy sentence ... too lazy to recast ... it's hot and humid here ...)

[U.O]

... um ... just sayin' ... not trineta criticize those who support their president, despite his inability to speak effectively in public ...

[artchick]

Anybody here read "Terry Jones' War on the War on Terror"? Great book-puts everything I feel about Bush and the whole mess into words (in a much more humorous way than I can manage without frothing at the mouth). For the unenlightened-Terry Jones' was a member of Monty Python.

[Aunt Nancy]

*enters thread waving white flag*

Please, people. We all know that the red half of the country loves George, and the blue half hates him. Let's not start arguing about who thinks what of Dubya. We come here to release stress, not build it up. Goodness knows I need to lighten up!

Oh, and BTW....BOOGER!!!

[Sarah J]

Flip-flops to the White House? Big deal. I know girls that have worn flip-flops to their own weddings.

[Maud]

- I just wanna know why Bush is on crutches! -

Probably because he fell off his bike again. I feel that if his parents had been more responsible, they would have waited a little longer before buying him a bike (among other things.) He just doesn't seem ready for a two-wheeler.

[Aunt Nancy]

*taps Maud on shoulder with white flag*

A-hem!

Let's all try to relax, shall we? OK - take a deeeeeep breath, let it out slooooowly. Deeeeeep breath, releeeeeease.

*leads Maud to heated massage chair with bubbly foot bath*

*hand Maud cool, soothing drink of her choice*

There, isn't that better?

[Maud]

Aunt N. - I wasn't worked up or being all political or anything, I was merely expressing concern for the well-being of the Leader of the Free World. He has fallen off that bike several times, and I wouldn't want him to hit his head or anything, he's already so God-Awful . . .um, yes . . yes, this is better. . .thanks for the drink. . . ooh, bubbles . ..
