New 'flip-flop' controversy at White House

4 members of Northwestern's lacrosse champion team go casual

CHICAGO - There’s a flip-flop controversy at the White House, and this one has nothing to do with President Bush and John Kerry.

A photo of Northwestern University’s national championship women’s lacrosse team, taken during the athletes’ visit to the White House last week, shows four of the nine women in the front row wearing flip-flop sandals along with their dresses and skirts.

The choice of footwear has prompted a mini-controversy — a flip-flop flap, if you will.

A front-page story in the Chicago Tribune included the headline “YOU WORE FLIP-FLOPS TO THE WHITE HOUSE?!” inspired by an e-mail sent to player Kate Darmody from her older brother after he saw the photo on the team’s Web site.

Family members of other players expressed similar dismay, insisting the summer footwear staple was too casual for a visit with the president.

“Don’t even ask me about the flip-flops,” said the mother of player Aly Josephs. “It mortified me.”

During an appearance Monday on NBC’s “Today,” Darmody and teammate Shelby Chlopak said players planned to auction off the flip-flops they wore to the White House, with the proceeds to go toward a fund for a 10-year-old girl with a brain tumor.

The women have defended their attire, arguing they wore a dressier version of the casual sandal.

“Nobody was wearing old beach flip-flops,” said Josephs, who wore a $16 brown pair with rhinestones.

Darmody, 22, added: “I tried to think of something that would go well with my outfit and at the same time not be that uncomfortable. But at the same time not disrespect the White House.”

In 2001, Bush’s daughter Jenna, then 19, wore black flip-flops in court, along with pink capri pants and a sleeveless black shirt, when she pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol.

The term “flip-flop” was used heavily during last fall’s presidential debates when Bush repeatedly accused Democratic opponent Kerry of switching positions on issues.

Akhem, guys, sorry, but that ten year old girl is fucked if that's the best way you can think of to raise money for her. Even if they do sell on ebay they're just going to go to some creepy shoe fetish guy. And, really, a shoe isn't any kind of souvenir, especially if it didn't even come from the whitehouse.

If Bush had signed them they might be worth maybe ten bucks, but a signed shoe is just weird anyhow, unless maybe it's like in that movie Wag The Dog and they were signed by that Shoeman guy before he raped the farmers wife and got shot.

What was I talking about?

I really like that movie.

Anything that goes anywhere near a president or presidential mistress' orifice is pure gold. For instance, the George Bush pretzel or the Monica cigar? Worth tens of thousands. Flip flops that were worn near the president's house just don't have enough of a story behind them.

I mean... who really does care about anything that goes on in the whitehouse? Everyone knows Bush is in the middle of causing the downfall of the human race, why should be give a shit if his plan involves flip flops?

Seriously, how serious do people have to get about really stupid issues.
It's just footwear - on a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is the destruction of the earth and 1 is whether or not the top of your soft-serve ice cream is standing up or lying down on the rest of the ice cream, wearing sandals to the white house is not something in the top half of things to take issue with.

Triviality is the cornerstone of the American media, and the foundation is sensationalism.

With the health insurance thing the USA's got going on, the money from the flip flops will probably be enough for the girl to go through a third of the surgery.

People will buy anything. Remember the Grilled Cheese Virgin Mary?

I'm completely out of cynical berating comments about modern culture. These people are mortified because of the choice of footwear to a social gathering. Actually, I don't need to comment on that at all anyway.

You should look your best when meeting world leaders, or gathering where world leaders work. It's just good manners.

You can't get in to a nice restaurant with flip flops, hell, you can't even get in to a nice night club with any thing less than black leather shoes.

Not necessarily nice places.

The clubs and restaurants I really like going to, I can get in with sport shoes (or whatever is the correct term for them - my vocabulary's lackin' here).
The one's you have to get in with nice shoes and stuff like that are usually filled with semi-rich, but not so pleasant people.

The clubs also tend to be fcking expensive and have a mini-king kong at the door (only dumber).

The last time I was near the whitehouse I was wearing a black mask, a beret, and a few rocks I had incase the cops got in our way.

But hey, at least I didn't wear sandals.
