No denim here
Syndicated columnist and conservative icon George Will is no stranger to controversy lately, what with his highly disputed recent columns on global climate change, and his recent screed against ˜of all things ˜ denim.
But his sympathetic audience on Friday was ready for more of it. Many members of the Republican National Lawyers Association arrived early at the National Press Club to shake Will’s hand, and even more were seen snapping cell phone pictures during his speech.
And for those looking for red meat, he didn’t disappoint. Discussing Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s comments last year that we should be using natural gas instead of “other” fossil fuels, Will said, “We are not always governed by the brightest Crayolas in the pack.”
He later added that “we have a Congress in which attention deficit disorder is an occupational hazard.”
We couldn’t resist asking: Has he gotten any blowback from denim companies following his comments? “I haven’t heard,” he said, “but then again, I don’t do email.”
Who needs modernity anyway?
