Man in shorts.

Fetterman is certainly no slave to fashion.

rhhardin বলেছেন...

Engineers do it to escape the Peter Principle. Namely avoiding promotion out of a job they like and are good at.

WisRich বলেছেন...

Seriously?

R C Belaire বলেছেন...

Well, at least he's consistent.

Michael বলেছেন...

He's been in a suit and tie before. Dressing down sends a message.

Wince বলেছেন...

After my high school headmaster called to invite me to a formal scholarship award event, I showed up in a stained white undershirt and jeans, he said, "Glad you dressed for the event."

I'm glad he seems to have recovered (and then some!) from his stroke. But this affectation is just silly - as if it makes him more "authentically" a Man of the People. It's like Peter Gabriel's face paint or something - don't be scared, Fetterman, you will be recognized even in long pants!

I wear shorts mostly becuase of the climate I live in but mostly becuase of ongoing nerve pain from knee replacement a few years back. I wonder if Fetterman has similar pain issues exascerbated by pant legs.

Dude1394 বলেছেন...

Silly

Mike (MJB Wolf) বলেছেন...

Still more respectful than Michelle Obama. Showing up is 80% of the job when you're a senator.

Aggie বলেছেন...

I think it's ridiculous posing, but accept that he probably thinks it isn't. Lucky for him it wasn't outside.

Jamie বলেছেন...

Fair enough, john. And we are not in a societal place in which men, like women, can choose (without being seen as making a "statement") whether to wear trousers or a skirt, unless it's a kilt. I have plenty of friends who are terribly bothered by tags at the back of a neckline without any surgery or condition, so if Fetterman has nerve pain exacerbated by fabric touching the knee, I withdraw my dismissive criticism..

Libtard douchebag pissing in the punch bowl.

Plus, many engineers are terrible managers. The ability to track 1,000 facts at once works great for technical tasks, but managers need at least minimal social skills.

boatbuilder বলেছেন...

It was once sort of endearing, especially since he had a stroke. Now it's just stupid and rude.

mccullough বলেছেন...

Fetterman is 6’8. Guy that size is always coming from or going to a pick up game.

Peachy বলেছেন...

My guess is Fetterman will play the "I'm a centrist" BS - but still vote with his corrupt party.

Jaq বলেছেন...

In certain circles, Carhartt caries a certain cachet. Plus, if you buy an XL from them at Tractor Supply, it's gonna be an XL.

Jaq বলেছেন...

A friend told me that in college, he said that if you liked your job, be sure to miss a spot shaving most days. He was ex military.

Former Illinois resident বলেছেন...

Doggie Doug Emhoff looks most uncomfortable, as if sucking on lemon for duration of ceremony. Expect him to go to NYC, Kamala back to SF. There's a discernible cold chill, their marriage-of-convenience now redundant, divorce in offing.

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

Disgraceful and disrespectful.

Peachy বলেছেন...

It's painful enough having to look at the cabal of hand-sitting corrupt has-beens (Hillary, Crook Joe, Puppet Kamala, GWB etc...) I didn't miss seeing Michelle's frowning face at all. I think she made the right decision.

Old and slow বলেছেন...

He is a bit grotesque and behaves poorly, but he does speak more sensibly than most (all?) of the D senators.

Flat Tire বলেছেন...

He was no less appropriate than Lauren Sanchez.

mccullough বলেছেন...

They say the same about Trump. Fetterman in acceptable MAGA apparel.

Eric the Fruit Bat বলেছেন...

Fetterman should have helped take up the folding chairs.

Peachy বলেছেন...

Lauren Sanchez is not a member of Trump's cabinet, nor is she a member of congress. (that said - she sure went full O'Henry Bar Heiress)

Interested Bystander বলেছেন...

What an unkempt slob. The senate leadership should have told him to put on a suit or GTFO.

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...

A man of the people.

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

No comment by AA re: Ms. Sanchez' outfit?

holdfast বলেছেন...

Apparently it works for him and his constituents. And he's more common sense than most other Dem Senators.

At least he is what he is. Better than those Brooks Brothers attired commies.

Nancy Reyes বলেছেন...

reminds me of the joke that those in Minnesota wear shorts when it is 20 degrees outside, but those in the southern USA panic at 50 degrees. Western PA is not as cold as Minnesota, but it is close. (I've lived in both places).

Enigma বলেছেন...

Heard from a Canadian: Americans who visit Vancouver BC think they are at the North Pole, while Canadians think they are in the tropics.

tim maguire বলেছেন...

I suspect that that is exactly what he is—he has cultivated his look and won’t alter it for anyone.

chuck বলেছেন...

Carhartt caries a certain cachet.

I buy their T-shirts for the pockets, good place to stash glasses.

chuck বলেছেন...

Make shorts great again.

Deep State Reformer বলেছেন...

This is what Pennsylvania voted for eh? So this is what "democracy" looks like then. Who's more of an odd ball: Rep. Ella Grasso or Senator Fetterman? Both Dems.

rehajm বলেছেন...

If Ella Grasso married Darth Vader she could be Ella Vader…

rehajm বলেছেন...

When I win Miss Lindsey’s spot I’m wearing my stormtrooper armor…

TaeJohnDo বলেছেন...

The least he could have done is wear cargo shorts.

Lazarus বলেছেন...

Say what you will, the man is truly a giant. He towers head and shoulders over the rest of Washington DC. Lincolnesque. Like Ed Muskie was. Only taller and more ungainly.

WA-mom বলেছেন...

It is too bad Lauren Sanchez can't afford a blouse to wear with her suit.

mikee বলেছেন...

Back when I was the engineer being taken to meet the clients, I was counseled by management on exactly how I was to state objections to anything said by either side in the meetings. For example, I wasn't allowed to say, "No!" to the Japanese clients. I was to suck air in loudly, with my teeth grinding, then say, "That may be... very difficult. Let me ask my superiors for clarification and get back to you." That was a fun meeting. Lots of teeth sucking.
