Why Is George Bush's Leg Showing?

Someone buy that poor man the Dress For Success book. His socks or pants are too short. For those not watching, he's at Dick Cheney's funeral.

the draped look. Jackets and pants fit tightly, so pant legs are calf-length when men sit down. Just like candy bars and boxes of cookies - pay more get less...

W owes a lot to Uncle Dick. Uncle Dick provided the guidance that W needed. He was in way over his head as president. And Uncle Dick also turned W into a war criminal.
