Chuck sez shorts are ok...

The guy’s a fucking embarrassment to the US, Pennsylvania, and the Mon Valley in particular.

I mentioned it here:

But your link points out something interesting, besides the water-carrying Associated (with Democrats) Press comment about "redefining...":
The senator even found a "workaround" to the legislative body's dress code rules.
"He votes from the doorway of the Democratic cloakroom or the side entrance, making sure his ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ is recorded before ducking back out."
I've long been skeptical of Fetterman's cognitive disability, and by that I've questioned whether he's really impaired in that way, rather than just not being able to communicate.
But his insistence of wearing his trademark attire is either arrogant, deranged, or ignorant.
(Cue "I Gotta Be Me" by Sammy Davis Jr.)
Perhaps all three.

The United States Senate will no longer enforce a dress code for members of the upper house elected by those they serve.
"However, others entering the chamber must comply with the dress code. Coats/ties for men. Business attire for women," Chad Pergram, the Senior Congressional Correspondent for Fox News tweeted.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D.-New York, quietly sent the directive to the Senate's Sergeant at Arms, news website Axios reported.
The change allows Sen. John Fetterman, D.-Penn., to continue wearing his trademark "hoodies and gym shorts" while working for Americans.
Fetterman was previously praised for "turning heads" and "redefining fashion in the stuffy Senate" during his recovery following a six-week stay at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was treated for "clinical depression" and "fitted for hearing aids for hearing loss that had made it harder for him to communicate."

The Senator would also be allowed to work for Americans simply by stopping his moronic behavior.

Why should Senators be exempt? Stupid that Sen. Fetterman will not wear a suit.
(Now whether the suit requirement is a good idea is another discussion, but certainly shorts and a hoodie is in no way acceptable)

Besides, have you looked at his legs? Kinda weird. Skinny-weird.

I wanna see Jerod Nadler (I know, he's not a senator) in a mankini.
Go ahead, and try to unsee THAT.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Rules for thee, but not for me!
This sort of elitist thinking won't stand up well in time. Let's hope there will be a more thoughtful revision to the Senate Leader's decision soon.

Many Senate and House traditions are overdue for an update.
Probably quite a few of these are less of an issue if remote work is embraced more.
I have no problem with the Senate updating its dress code, even if it ditches suits and ties.
My objection is to the "rules for thee, not for me" nature of this particular update. -
Some traditions should never be updated.
Respect and proper decorum for the institution is a good tradition.

Good thing suits and ties won't be one of those. I expect suits and ties to go the way of the powdered wigs.

It may not be suits and ties, but it damn sure won't be a sloppy pair of shorts and a stained hoodie.
