The point of this blog is to poke gentle fun at fashion, celebrities and the occasional politician, without being partisan. That is why this is called the “Shoe Blog.”

Well, this helps name ID, I guess... :rolleyes:

I thought I remembered reading somewhere that he had knee surgery and that is why he wears those shoes.

Not that it matters, I'm just sayin'

It's a well-known fact that he wears black sneakers. I'm sure it's a leg or foot problem. He is 71.

Well, if you are a diligent person working out of those large sprawling federal buildings, wearing good shoes is simply being practical and common-sensical.

But, by all means, let's decide our next president based on the whiteness of their teeth, how well coiffed their hair, how dramatic their theatrics and how expensive their suits.

Some of those comments are hysterical.

I wonder what Ron would think about this, having his shoes posted up on the internet?

Well, in this article (http://amconmag.com/2007/2007_06_18/cover.html) they seem to think his shoes say something positive about his character. :)

You guys crack me up sometimes. Well, a lot of the time. We always knew that he was cheap, um, frugal!:D

Manolo is my hero! I never go shopping for shoes without first getting his advice!

p.s. If you think he's being mean at Ron Paul, scroll back a few entries and see what he said about Bush's Crocs!

I replied to it with this:


I think the funny thing here is that none of you probably get John's screenname... Haha... Read an actual book sometimes, you guys!

As for the shoes, I doubt those are how he normally dresses. If this picture was taken at Capitol Hill, he was probably running around in those solely for comfort. Really, would you expect a nurse, a waitress, or anyone who's job has then standing for hours on end to run around all day in something uncomfortable? Who knows, maybe he only wears those in his office and when he went to this meeting, oops, he forgot to take them off. It happens.

And Genevieve, I think it a takes a more arrogant, judgmental person to scoff at the clothes people wear from some lofty perch of a self-appointed sense of high fashion than to just give people the benefit of the doubt. You, ma'am, are a hypocrite. ;)

I replied to it with this:

We're trying to win converts here! Please try (not that I don't always succeed) to follow Dr. Paul's example and always be positive and kind. Yes, of course, some people make it more difficult than others.

That is me being nice!

Okay, I'm not going to pull punches anymore...

...b/c I won't lob any more punches.

Turn the other check, right?

Sorry I let you guys down. :(
