The GOP War On Flip-Flops

[Crabtownboy]

I must say the GOP does provide much humor in their rather thoughtless ways. Well done Montana Republicans. Great laughter with is good for our health.

So when Republican leaders of the state House of Representatives recently adopted the chamber’s first dress code in memory – probably its first ever – to specify that lawmakers should wear “formal business attire,” they probably could have safely stopped at the part that specified “appropriate shoes” for women. (They had already standardized “dress shoes or dress boots” for men.) They certainly did not need to elaborate on women’s footwear with the observation that “Flip-flops, tennis shoes and open-toed sandals are not considered appropriate.” Nobody is going to mistake tennis shoes for formal business attire, and open-toed sandals, like flip-flops, spend Western winters in sunny Arizona.

Surely, someone can claim culturally or religious exemption ....it is culturally appropriate as an Aussie to wear thongs or as you guys say flippy floppies[emoji4]

War? Sounds like a guideline.
