Bush has resurrected the "blame the tailor" defense for his weird suit bulges during the debates.
"I'm embarrassed to say it's a poorly tailored shirt." - W on Good Morning America
To whit Salon responds
The problem with this explanation, of course, is that the presidential tailor in question turned out to be French -- a man with the classically Gallic moniker, Georges de Paris. And that instantly raised a troubling question in red-state America: What the hell is red-blooded George W. Bush doing outsourcing his tailoring needs to some Frenchy named de Paris? Especially since de Paris' tony salon is obviously less skilled at producing a smooth-fitting jacket -- or shirt -- than any off-the-rack designer at Bloomingdale's?
The Hill who inverviewed de Paris for their story however misses the mark, in an attempt to re-create the famous bulge. Instead of a vertical rectangular shaped bulge like the President was sporting, they end up with a normal horizontal "ridge" type bulge. Still despite this failure to recreate the bulge, they buy de Paris' explanation that it was "normal."
