Manolo asks you to please be polite in the comments.
It is no secret that the Manolo he mostly indifferent to the politics, and so he rarely posts the pictures that will cause the heated argument between the Manolo’s many internet friends. So, please remember that the blog of the Manolo is to be the place of fun, not the place of anger.

The Scarlett is mostly not a creature of the politics, too. But The Scarlett has a little game that she plays whenever there is a Dubya press conference. The game is that she counts the number of times that Dubya smirks. For added fun, take a sip of champagne for each smirk. Try it! It makes those dreary occasions fun!

Oh, the Generalisimo Presidente, he is such a facial contortionist!

Perhaps the President, he is suddenly recalling that picture of him holding hands on a recent post of the Manolo.

Lutefisk! Urrrgh!

Manolo, given your interest in bridging the partisan divide, might you be able to influence the Mrs. Bush to buy some new shoes? I have noticed that she seems to own only two pair–some low-heeled black slingblacks, and some most unfashionable old-lady shoes in a color best described as merde du bebe. Perhaps if the Mrs. Bush had some super-fantastic shoes in her arsenal, liberals like I would be less inclined to mock her husband’s administration. After all, I still admire the Nancy Reagan’s Ferragamo flats whenever she appears in public, and her super-fantasticness causes me to view her husband’s presidency more sympathetically.

The President, he re-enacts the face of the President Clinton when he entertained The Monica!
or, to keep it even….
The President, he is told that there were no WMD’s

The Annalucia, she has made the Manolo laugh again!
May 9th, 2005 at 10:59 am
The Annalucia, she has to wonder that anyone would judge a President on the basis of the First Lady’s shoes.
That aside, the Annalucia begs the Suzanne to remember that the Mrs. Reagan is a petite, slender woman with an insanely small dress size and it is easier for her to wear the high heels and the slightly giddy styles. (She is also of the Hollywood tribe which will make her more inclined to wear such styles as well.) The Laura is a sturdy Texas woman, not young and not petite, and the Annalucia guesses that she requires only that a shoe be handsome, in a color that will not clash with the dress, and comfortable enough for long hours of standing and walking at official functions.
In short, the Laura’s shoes may not excite the viewer but neither do they affront the eye, and for that the Annalucia is grateful.

The Cris, he always admired the Janet Reno’s shoes of the sensibleness

The Suzanne would like to gently let the Annalucia know that her post above was semi-ironic, particularly the part about judging the George W. on the Laura’s shoes.
Additionally, the Suzanne would like to state for the record that she herself is of the build you might call “sturdy” and has many pair of super-fantastic shoes. In fact, even the Star Jones, who the Suzanne normally detests, probably has many pairs of super-fantastic shoes. Super-fantastic shoes are not only for the waifish girls!

The Nancy Reagan hasn’t worn the high heels nor giddy styles for decades. As a sensible woman of more advanced age, she has opted for the comfortable and classic Ferragamos; these are shoes in which one can stand or walk during official and unofficial functions.
The Scarlett thinks that the Laura Bush has a policy that prohibits her from wearing shoes not made in America. This is a difficult maneuver and may account for the lack of footwear diversity in the Bush clost.
The Laura Bush needs a makeover. She is a handsome woman that could be actually very pretty without the helmet hair and with some super-fantastic shoes. She needs to rethink weaing only the domestic shoes in favor of ones with style as well as class. Also, she is not especially sturdy but only appears so because of the matronly clothing she sports (and if one compares the Laura Bush to the very frail Nancy Reagan). The Laura Bush has a figure but has done a fine job of hiding it!

Perhaps someone just tried to do to the Shubbery what his wife said he once did to a horse?
Or someone just said “Janet Reno” to him…

I think the hair of the Laura Bush is a metaphor for her personality: stiff on the outside for all to see, but who knows what is under the helmet of the Aqua-Net?

the Tia would like to second the wonderful suggestion of the Suzanne that the Manolo use his position as noted expert on the footwear to influence the FLOTUS to buy the superfantastic shoes. Shoes the color of the merde de bebe do not become the great nation. The Tia may continue to criticize the Bush administration’s policies, but if the Mrs. Bush’s shoes were more superfantastic the Tia might consider Mrs. Bush far more a uniter than the President.
The Tia prefers not to blame the footwear of the Bush twins on the President. It is not his fault.

Janet Reno… comfortable shoes… hahahahahahahaha.
The W he seems to be objecting to the crusts not having been cut off his PB&J sandwich.

President Bush remembers, all too late, that one should be careful what one eats in Eastern Europe.
May 9th, 2005 at 4:46 pm
Dang. Too much sushi… where’s the Japanese PM when you need him?
May 9th, 2005 at 5:42 pm
Is that what his dad looked like before he puked on the Japanese dignitary?

La Cabrita, you are super fantastic funny and you know our president well! Oh the tyranny of having to eat food from the chef who is insensitive to one’s needs!
