As the Sartorial Senator reported earlier, Bill Clinton himself played dress-up while visiting other countries, making the Clinton attack on Obama pretty ridiculous.
In further research (google image search), the Sartorial Senator has dug up this image of Hillary Clinton while in Israel:
So if Obama is a Muslim I guess Hillary is too.
Every once in a while a Sartorial story can take on a serious tone. This is one such instance. The Drudge Report is reporting that Clinton staffers have been circulating the following image of Barack Obama in a blatant effort to fuel the racist xenophobic ethnocentric false claims that Obama is a Muslim.
Now if this is true (and the Drudge Report certainly is not a paragon of journalistic integrity), I would like to point out how unfair, and hypocritical the Clinton campaign is being. Playing dress-up is (no joke) one function of a President. Look at the multiple postings the Sartoial Senator has of Bush globe-trotting in various outfits.
What's more, it's not like Bill Clinton didn't do the same thing when he was President. We get it Hillary Clinton, you don't want to lose the primary...please don't bring down the Democratic party in the process. Call off your goons.
After watching the debate last night, I think the Sartorial Senator has stumbled upon Hillary Clinton's problem this primary....she's running for President...in 2040.
Seriously Hill, that outfit is way too futuristic for a candidate who wants to focus on the here and now. But don't worry, 40 years from now when we're all wearing lycra onesies you have my vote.
In a related note if anyone wants to pick up an action figure of "Debate Hillary" now is your chance...
After an extended vacation (extreme laziness), the Sartorial Senator is making a triumphant return to the world of blogging. Why now, you ask? Why, when you were just getting over the Sartorial Senator do I stroll back into your life? Well, here are the Top 10 sartorial stories from this primary cycle that I just couldn't walk away from:
#10: 12-inch Pianist Jokes
Hillary Clinton needs to stop demonstrating the size of things with her hands....it's making the Sartorial Senator very uncomfortable.
#9: Jowl Movement
vs. 
Is John McCain not the Jowliest American politician since Richard Nixon? Seriously, is the man storing up food for winter in those things?
#8: Courting the Youth Vote
I've heard of kissing babies, but damn Rudy...you gonna make that thing your fourth wife or what?
#7: Son of Jor-El From the Planet Kenya
When you're trying to dispel the criticism that you are an egomaniac with a messianic following, maybe this isn't the best way to go about it.
#6: Populust
I know this primary is all about making history, but, I'm sorry, Populists can't be good looking.
#5: Devolution
Does it bother anybody else that the so-called "revolutionary" candidacy of Ron Paul was essentially a repackaging of Pat Buchanon's platform? Isolationism...how revolutionary!
#4: Mittrosexuals
Here, the Romney clan sports the latest in Mourmon Couture. I guess the five boys will be trading in the khakis for some camo now that Daddy's campaign is over.
#3: Thompson the Carpathian
"I Vigo Thompson the scourge of Carpathia, the sarrow of Modovia command you, on a mountain of skulls in a castle of pain, I sat on a thrown of blood..." I can't imagine why Thompson lost. Image courtesy of democraticunderground.com
#2: Well the Man has a Type
Is it cheating if you sleep with your wife's doppelganger? Image courtesy huffingtonpost.com
#1: What a Spontaneous Moment of Unexpected, Unstaged Support!
Does anyone else find this mildly to very offensive...I know we're not allowed to use the term "pimping out"....but....
Tommy Thompson!!!
Sartorial Senator will return full time August 1st.
The Sartorial Senator has been on a bit of a hiatus during the finals period, but this was a story that I couldn't pass up. In the recent primary debate Democrat candidate Bill Richardson scored a big fashion in politics moment when he said, "I think the American people want candor. They don’t want blow-dried candidates with perfection." clearly this comment is directed at John Edwards and his $400 dollar haircut. Richardson should be careful here though. While America may not want a "blow dried" candidate, we also might not be ready for a "Supercuts" candidate either. I do like Richardson's promise of Candor. I think he should take a page from McCain (before McCain became the Miami Heat of politics). Instead of the Straight Talk Express, Richardson could ride around in the Candor Caboose.
The Sartorial Senator reported over a month ago on the connection between Mitt Romney, his "too perfect" hair, and Ken of the Ken and Barbie duo. In what can only be evidence that the Romney team is composed of avid Sartorial Senator readers, this comparison was made to Mr. Romney himself. I can't believe we missed the striking resemblance of Romney's wife to a Barbie doll! To be fair though, this is only one of his wives.
Some people seemed upset last week when Rudy Giuliani said his wife would sit in on Cabinet meetings on issues she was interested in. At first this didn't bother me at all, because her tenure as First Lady of the Hamptons had gone 
so well. But now the NY Post reports that Giuliani's wife may have been involved in some amateur puppy killing in her younger days. I think America is ready for a lot of changes in the next election, but the anti-puppy killing lobby just might have the edge with the American people on this one.
So what does it take to get an endorsement from a former Iowa governor/Presidential candidate? Well, apparently $430,000 is a good start. Thats the amount that Mr. Vilsack, seen right saluting his new lead'er, is in debt according to the NY Times. In what Clinton aides have said was not a quid pro quo, Vilsack has thrown his endorsement to Clinton, while she has agreed to utilize her significant fund-raising machine to help pay back some of his debt. You know Hillary, I have some serious student loan debt and very few scruples; Lets begin a conversation here. Hillary Clinton has already been compared to Big Brother so far this campaign. Maybe Vilsack should rethink his "Heil Hillary" salute if he wants to avoid those bill collectors.
Senator John McCain has been facing some pretty tough criticism about his age lately. If elected, McCain would be the oldest first term President ever. The problem isn't that McCain has shown any signs of ill-health or
deterioration; The problem is that Americans don't like old people all that much. Sure, we can handle seeing them around the holidays, but do we really want a Presidential motorcade going only 25 miles per hour with its signal on the whole time? Is America ready for State Dinners to be moved to 4:30? I think not.
I get that McCain is going for the youthful look by sporting the leather. But, frankly, the members only jacket and sweater-vest just makes him look like he's running late for the early bird special at Hometown Buffet. Perhaps McCain is trying to become the Greaser to Mitt Romney's Socs.
If McCain is serious about winning the GOP nomination, I suggest he put on a suit, avoid shaking old people's hands, and take the advice of fellow AARP member Bob Dole and not fall off any stages.
In a somewhat related note, even though she is younger than her husband, does anyone else think that Cindy McCain looks like Blanche Deveraux?
