*'s Moscow stopover for 1 1/2 hrs - Pics.

Why even bother to stop on the way to another country?

Pickles left the WH in black but deplaned in Moscow in camel and flat shoes.

U.S. President George W. Bush, right, first lady Laura Bush, second left, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, left, and his wife Lyudmila, second right, seen during a meeting at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow, Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2006.

1. Nice boots, Pickles ...

:puke: NOT. :puke:

[Dhalgren]

2. I kind of like them. But, again, with the short tops! What gives?

3. That nasty flesh-colored outfit Laura is wearing is just awful!

She looks like she's trying to imitate congealed chicken fat. Yuck. Laura is just so plain looking she really needs to wear brighter colors or something. And what is with the clashing gray blazer? Did she even bother to check the mirror?

Then again, she's married to George Bush and is a Republican. Good taste obviously has escaped her. So who cares.

4. Please tell me NOT Pickles

You look like you just got off the boat.

How could you embarrass our country that way!

5. My first reaction was "Are those Lawn Chairs?"

But of course on second look they are just cheesy looking chairs.

7. cheesy

chairs look like acrylic wal-mart specials and Laura needs to be on "What Not To Wear". She needs to be rubbed all over by Stacy and Clinton.

12. Stacy

Shes very expressive. She literally talks with her face. I watch her expressions every scene she's in. Yeah, I'd do some NYC barhopping with these two anytime.

6. I think I am old fashioned, but what is up with the women in

pantsuits? They look like they just got back from a shopping trip to Target. :eyes:

9. My deceased, very Republican aunt used to criticize Hillary

for wearing pantsuits. She'd say "PANTSUIT!" when Hillary would be on TV wearing one. She said it showed Hillary had no class. I would kindly remind her that Nancy Reagan was the first First Lady I saw wearing one.

10. I know that their secretaries coordinate what they are wearing but

it just looks strange to me to have the men in suits. They don't seem formal enough for this occasion. Just my 2 cents worth.

11. I remember how elegantly Jackie Kennedy would present herself at all

times. I don't remember her in pants except for one photo in the last months of her life when she was walking in Central Park with her male companion.

Pickles embarrasses us with her wardrobe but Bush embarrasses us with everything he does.

[Ouabache]

13. Why didn't Pickles just borrow one of Cheney's Hunting Jackets?

14. I kinda like that long camel coat...

...but I sure don't like picture 3, where her pants don't fit and are too short, her jacket looks like cats in a trussed-up gunny sack, and she looks like she's about to play "hambone" on her left leg.
