Don't know if anyone saw this from the hearing featuring Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner the other day. Matching repp ties. Who says our response to the economic crisis isn't coordinated???

Oh no, I have that tie too. More embarrassing is that Barney Frank accidentally wore a tongue too big for his mouth.

I noticed that as well. I enjoyed seeing the tie paired with two different collars, it was a nice contrast. Of course I like the spread better than the bd .

I bet they are members of a secret society whose tie of choice is the BB#1 repp.

I don't like to take pot shots, but Barney Frank looks like he slept in that suit.

Then follow your likes instead of loading your musket. :icon_smile: It's just a bad photo for the Congressman. Here is another one at the same hearing where the Congressman is clearly awake and looking much less wrinkled:

How long before congress goes biz casual? When will that happen?

I mean, don't all the same arguments that apply in most other workplaces apply here? (People do better work when they're more "relaxed", etc.) Wasn't that the idea?

What the heck IS the idea of business casual? I keep forgetting.

I was sent another picture from the same day of the two of them together by a friend who worked for Governor Huckabee's campaign.

He has the same tie.

I'm sure the R's would prefer to debate someone--anyone--who is a more accomplished dresser and a less accomplished debater.

After he had stolen it from some hapless passerby to look at the fit as well.
