It’s whatsucker day?
Apparently, yesterday was Seersucker Day in the Senate.

Above: Come with Rick to a land of pure imagination.
Update from Marq:
Oompa-loompa doompity-doo,
We’re gonna talk about Senator Man-on-dog to you,
Oompa-loompa doompity-dee,
If you are smart, you’ll kinda just flee,
What kinda frothy mixture is that?
Lube and fecal matter and my dead brat!
[baritone] I brought him home because they were out of Cabbage Patch Dolls![/baritone]
Oompa-loompa, gimpity-give,
You know where I work; can you guess where I live?
Oompa-loompa, dippity-dong,
If you guessed Penn State, then you’re Sadly, Wrong!
Virginia’s much nicer, and it’s whiter, too,
If I lived in Pittsburgh, I might have to live next to you!

I think he meant to go to Cox to get a seersucker suit, but instead went to Sears …

That said, I have never seen anyone look that fabulous without running afoul of Jerry Falwell…

OK. I have decided now that I am not going to become a seer after all.

I think we all know perfectly well that C-Span colorized the feed to make the UpStanding Senator from Pennsylvania look bad. The liberal media is pulling out all of the stops this summer to “get” Republicans. Just like when that newspapar whitened Condi’s eyes to make her look bad.
and you fell for it. Or maybe you are in on it. Regardless, the fact is that the American people will see through your attempts to “pink-wash” Republicans. and VOTE against Democrats in November.

Gary, it was, in fact, Seersucker day on Capitol Hill. Is this the same “we all” that knows Iraq was trying to build WMDs and that the Gay, East Coast/Hollywood, Ivory Tower Flip-Flopping, Cut-and-Run, Ivy-League-Educated, Liberal Media Eliteâ„¢ is secretly conspiring to cover it up (and kill Jesus again, they hope, they hope)? Just wondering.
But your conspiracy fantasies are amusing me, so please keep that ball rolling.

Hey!
Pick on Rick all you want, but lay off the seersucker! It’s hot in the South, and we like it! It’s originally from India, and it’s great in the heat; much preferable to the heavy dark suit. Plus, I look damn good in one, thank you so much.

Uh, guys, before you make fun of what “we all know” . . . it turns out that Gary’s right about this one. C-Span also Photoshopped those Oompa-Loompas and the top hat and the cane, and Gavin here fell for it. Or maybe he’s in on it! Regardless, the fact is that the American people will see through your attempts to “Wonka-izeâ€? Republicans and VOTE against Oompa-Loompas in November.

I’m actually a friend with a page and he told me that the Oompa Loompas really were there singing that song right beisde Santorum.
He didn’t remember seeing a top hat though. He thought it was a bowler.

The fact is that the democratic pandering to the oompa loompa lobby is the real reason they will not protect our families with the Federal Marriage Amendment Act.

Actually, I’d like to own a seersucker suit. But I also go to the Kentucky Derby every year, so my perspective should be viewed askance.

Is it really any surprise that the actor who played the Oompa-Loompas in the recent film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was named Deep Roy?
