Well, I think it's just fine and dandy if those people in Washington want to wear sandals. I ask you, what could it possibly hurt? Jesus wore sandals. Mohammed wore sandals. And if sandals were good enough for them they're surely good enough for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Just as long as they wash their feet at least once a day and keep their toenails clean and nicely trimmed.

And they really shouldn't wear socks with those sandals. If they do, people might think they're folk musicians and try to make them sing "Michael, Row the Boat Ashore".

Thank you,

Miss Emily Latella
