If Fred Astaire (or my grandpa) would not have worn it, don’t wear it.
lorien1973 on April 17, 2009 at 12:37 PM
Looks like he peed his pants. phsaw

T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI, is that you?

One nice thing about jeans is that your front pockets don’t show the pucker when your middle get’s a little bit too big for them.
Dusty on April 17, 2009 at 12:41 PM
George Will, the gold standard for Beta Males.
AW1 Tim on April 17, 2009 at 12:42 PM
He wears a green, blue, and white striped belt…and denounces jeans.
That’s like Bill Clinton saying strip clubs are immoral.
MadisonConservative on April 17, 2009 at 12:42 PM
I never thought I’d say this about George Will, but it looks like he’s tugging at a wedgie.
Michelle on April 17, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Congrats George, you look like either an Easter egg or a southern frat boy without the old ballcap… Tell me, are you wearing loafers with no socks?
cbconnolly on April 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM
I do have to admit I prefer the khakis 60-40 over jeans but they make you look like a gamer that doesn’t know how to turn the computer on unless you to wear them with suspenders.
Dusty on April 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Those pants will not hide the chilli dog spill or the beer sloshing.
Didn’t Reagan say NO MORE PALE PASTELS!!!! Bad Georgie. Bad.
portlandon on April 17, 2009 at 12:44 PM
Now everyone is focusing on George Will’s behind.
Thanks.
MadisonConservative on April 17, 2009 at 12:45 PM
Is this why the adult sized Garanimils brand never really took off?
rw on April 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Straight from the golf course to the ball game.
Nethicus on April 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Awesome.
crazy_legs on April 17, 2009 at 12:46 PM
I didn’t know George was a Green Bay Packers fan.
portlandon on April 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM
*looks at pockets, cries*
Joe Caps on April 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM
Who knew that an angry scowl and a urine stain on the front of your pants could be a fashion statement?
Blake on April 17, 2009 at 12:47 PM
Bwahahahaahah!
ballz2wallz on April 17, 2009 at 12:48 PM
Well, I have to say that Fred Astaire was pretty dapper in “Royal Wedding.” And although John Wayne looked damned cool in a pair of jeans, I’m not sure I would have cared to see Cary Grant in a pair of Levis.
BigD on April 17, 2009 at 12:48 PM
Is that his tote bag behind him???
Punchenko on April 17, 2009 at 12:49 PM
The look on his face says “What jeans and t-shirt wearing knuckle-dragging phillistine gave me a wedgie?”
Next… ol’ George gets shoved into a locker.
crazy_legs on April 17, 2009 at 12:50 PM
Now -I’m- staring at Will’s ass and crotch.
Damn you all to hell.
lorien1973 on April 17, 2009 at 12:50 PM
Hey George, Fred Astaire called, he said you look ridiculous.
CP on April 17, 2009 at 12:51 PM
No, the first thing I thought when I saw the pic was “Ha! George Will caught scratching his butt in public. Classy!”
Probably says even more about me than it does about Will, but there you have it.
Laura on April 17, 2009 at 12:52 PM
It does appear he peed his pants and the visible look of disgust on his face doesn’t help.
Punchenko on April 17, 2009 at 12:52 PM
And that piercing gaze… you just know he’s looking at you and wondering if you’re the kid he kept having to tell to get off his lawn.
Laura on April 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Are those Fred Astaire’s pajamas?
tommuck on April 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Jeans are boring.
I have been wearing jeans since I was five years old – enough! When I turned fifty, I burned my jeans and graduated to grown-up pants – North Face cargoes.
(Don’t even think about Dockers)
lonesomecharlie on April 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
In the olden days, wearing green and yellow would mean you’re swinging for the other team, and I’m not talking about baseball.
TimTebowSavesAmerica on April 17, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Bring back the leisure suit, George!
Punchenko on April 17, 2009 at 12:58 PM
And on his feet? White “Family Vacation” loafers.
Bishop on April 17, 2009 at 12:58 PM
OMG LMFAO! Michelle you rock.
upinak on April 17, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Look out, Will! There’s a jeans-wearing degenerate right behind you!
CherokeeJack on April 17, 2009 at 1:00 PM
Analogy win!
strictnein on April 17, 2009 at 1:01 PM
He looks like Conan O’Brien’s drunken uncle.
Yellow pants have one purpose, they hide piss stains.
Rocks on April 17, 2009 at 1:03 PM
We may have seen the last of Will’s columns on clothing. He actually looked in a mirror and said “Yup, I look good to go out in public in this…”?
I’d wear jeans every day of the week, except I have a business dress code to adhere to. I absolutely detest wearing ties, even though I look sharp in them. Heck, I’d wear shorts and a tank-top to the office if I could get away with it.
JammieWearingFool on April 17, 2009 at 1:12 PM
He didn’t intend to dress like that. Those are just the clothes Winston Wolf gave him after he shot Marvin in the face.
SteakRules on April 17, 2009 at 1:15 PM
Yet another reason why I’m glad I work in the tech sector. I can get away with it!
crazy_legs on April 17, 2009 at 1:16 PM
*smiles*
Yep I have done it.
I may not dress professionally, but no one can say I don’t act professionally when needed. Gotta love Alaska
upinak on April 17, 2009 at 1:19 PM
On the upside we have casual Friday, so at least today I can wear jeans and a polo shirt. Thankfully it’s now that time of year when the ladies in the office break out the skimpy clothing.
JammieWearingFool on April 17, 2009 at 1:22 PM
Excellent Pulp Fiction reference.
Grayson on April 17, 2009 at 1:29 PM
Jesper Parnevik called and he’d like his pants back, George. And yes, I’ll get off your lawn.
Mr. D on April 17, 2009 at 1:29 PM
“Captain, the entire enemy fleet is closing on our position!”
“Bring me my yellow pants.”
James on April 17, 2009 at 2:09 PM
George Will has outlived his ability to produce good ideas.

My dad wore clothes like that in the 70’s.
obladioblada on April 17, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Congratulations HotAir! Under the brilliant stewardship of Allah, you will soon be rivaling DKos and the Dem-Underground both in number of comments and “depth” of commentary.
RMR on April 17, 2009 at 2:47 PM
Have you ever been to J. Press in Washington? This is what you find. The senior George Bush shops there, too. You’ll also find some madras jackets and trousers. These looks..er…aren’t for everyone.
DrMagnolias on April 17, 2009 at 2:47 PM
eh, shut up and put on some jeans!
upinak on April 17, 2009 at 2:52 PM
If I am repeating anyone, sorry. Fred Astair wouldn’t have been caught dead in George’s outfit. Although a bad taupee and an ascot was pretty standard fare in his later years.
Cindy Munford on April 17, 2009 at 2:53 PM
Opps, sorry I didn’t realize this was a b!tch about Allah thread, sorry for being o/t.
Cindy Munford on April 17, 2009 at 2:55 PM
Oh lighten up and have some fun. Will wrote a stupid column and is getting his nuts busted for it. Don’t get your panties in a wad.
lorien1973 on April 17, 2009 at 2:57 PM
I ask you. Would Fred Astaire wear that?
tlclark on April 17, 2009 at 3:00 PM
George looks like he just ate a whole Domino’s Pizza.
Loxodonta on April 17, 2009 at 3:12 PM
The arbiter of sartorial taste has his belt on inside out.
Longhorn Six on April 17, 2009 at 3:24 PM
DORK.
tickleddragon on April 17, 2009 at 3:34 PM
Oh, wait…
OLD Dork!
tickleddragon on April 17, 2009 at 3:40 PM
Wait a second. Is that one of his Fred Astaire outfits, or is it from the Grace Kelly line?
califcon on April 17, 2009 at 3:47 PM
I think the whole jeans thing is just to distract us from his hair.
TexasDan on April 17, 2009 at 4:02 PM
Come on people, give him a break. He wrote a super amazing book on baseball. His article was totally ridiculous but every writer has silly days.
