Bush or bust

Bush or bust

: Nola.com reports that a voter had to take off her shirt to vote. Well, people have taken off a lot more for a lot less in New Orleans.

Debbie Dupeire was so intent on helping to re-elect the president Tuesday that she shucked her Bush-Cheney T-shirt and voted in her bra after being told that state election law prohibits displaying a candidate’s name in a polling place.

: I was out helping at the church rummage sale today when I got email on my Treo from Glenn Reynolds begging for the greater good of blogging for the picture to be put on the story so all could see (because Nola.com is one of my day-job sites). I emailed the indefatigable editor of Nola.com, Jon Donley, right there from the church (which almost matches the time I blogged an FCC fine against Howard Stern from the choir loft). Jon wasted no time copying the picture from a photo gallery to the story. And there you have it. Who says blogs don’t improve news?

    Not the first of us to have the shirt taken off our backs by this administration.

    Glenn seemed smitten with her.
    Not my type, I agree.

    I kinda knew about the restriction on buttons and tee-shirts, but she did wear something a form of statement-by-clothing that I thought more people would: Flip-flops!

    I wonder why they didn’t let her wear it inside out. Surely that would have been good enough.
    If I had been there, I would have offered her my own jacket or even shirt (keeping my undershirt, natch).

    Huh. This happened just down the street from where I work. How odd.
