In 1974 when I was working for the Alabama Senate Education
Committee I actually owned and wore occasionally a plaid suit. Hey, I’m
not proud of it, but it was the ’70s. And I wasn’t the only one in the
Capitol dressed that way. As I recall, among the white belts and
shoes and the lime-green leisure suits, plaid was the least of the
sartorial crimes.
Well, little did we all know what we were
broadcasting subliminally. According the the lefty bloggers, who have
found a photo of a plaid-pants wearing Supreme Court nominee John
Roberts from his high school days, plaid pants mean he’s gay. I’m not
making this up. Blogger Charmaine Yoest has the details.
