Crocs have been given the presidential seal of approval but this is not necessarily a good thing.
George W. Bush was photographed recently in a pair of black Crocs -- Cayman style, $29.99 -- as he was heading out from the White House to ride his bike. He wore the clunky resin clogs -- which have ventilation holes and a heel strap -- with a pair of black shorts, a white camp shirt, a baseball cap with the image of an unidentified Scottish terrier and black bike socks imprinted with the presidential seal.
Seeing anyone wearing them mostly makes me want to puke. Now I know I'm a little more uptight about fashion than a lot of people, for instance I think manufacturing short sleeve dress shirts should be a crime punishable by death, but really. Is there someone, somewhere who thinks plastic shoes with little holes in them look ok?
Then I discovered this:
Could they have been in a goodie bag at the May fundraiser for the Virginia Republican Party, which, according to the Associated Press, Crocs Chairman Rick Sharp hosted and Bush attended?
I knew it. The GOP's version of Birkenstocks look like **** and are made out of, but of course, petroleum products.
Insideous to the core.
