Is there a full moon out?
There's already several hundred comments about whether or not President Bush's shirt is button properly in the picture above at Crooks and Liars.
Perhaps the "reality based community" should join the "job based community" and wear a real dress shirt for once in their lives - you know the kind that doesn't have a button down collar...
Update: The Democratic Underground gets into the act regarding VP Cheney's upcoming surgery. Photo proof in case it disappears, or if you just don't want to wade into the DU swamp...

Do these people have no visual skills whatsoever? Look at the length of each side of the collar. Now mentally align them side by side. Guess what? - they are the same #$@% lenght! Which means... *waits for it* it's fecking buttoned properly!
As for the DU thread, I hope karma is a real bitch.

Let them be. The more they froth over the inane, the more they ignore their utter lack of organization, message, leadership and strategy. They will find themselves in '08 much the same as they did in '04 after spending 4 years screaming about '00; forced to support a compromise candidate espousing a compromise agenda.
Besides, its just so much fun to watch them.

Actually if you look at it visually, it DOES look off-balance. But as one who leans left, even I'll agree it's something that is silly to make fun of. But then again, everyone needs something to lighten the mood and perhaps that is all they are doing. :) Just as the right does when they have the opportunity. No difference really.
And I even used a ruler, one side is longer than the other. Now it could be the way his head is tilted. Hard to say really.

If there's no substance to your complaints you have to rely on crap that like or quit whining. The left isn't about to quit whining so they go on the offensive over buttons. Pathetic, but that's nothing new.

So... let me get this straight.
First, people are sniggering that Bush actually has to take a bathroom break during a meeting...
...and now they're checking out if a shirt is buttoned properly?
Is this for real? I mean, has Karl Rove become an absurdist or something?

Is there any wonder the Left isn't taken seriously by anyone outside their echo chamber?
First the Bush bathroom note, now buttoning his shirt. The Norwegian media is having a field day with John Ellis Bush being arrested for drunk driving.
It sure is a good thing the Left is keeping its eyes on the prize and discussing things of substance and how to lead the USA and the world forward.... button by button....

Angie, if you look at his shoulders, the left one is raised up a little higher than the other. That'll make any shirt collar look off-kilter.
Then again, the people making such a big deal about it would see it as off-kilter if it were perfectly straight, because they're off-kilter.
But I'll take the point about how maybe they're just looking for something on the lighter side to talk about. Lord knows they haven't had much good news lately. Even the New Orleans flooding and FEMA's miscues haven't worked out very well for them...

Perhaps the reason the President's shirt looks a bit off is because it is most likely not your typical dress shirt (bulletproof). Also suspect he has body armor on underneath.

Hmmm ... very interesting, this Ms Cyr330, who wishes pain and death upon Mr Cheney. A Google search reveals she is a nurse in San Francisco. Or at least, what are the chances that two different people use this same posting handle and are both in San Francisco. I haven't read many of the posts Google found, I haven't the intestinal fortitude this early on a Saturday. But if it is the same person, it is quite disturbing. A nurse ... who wishes pain and death on anyone should not be a nurse.
