Pantone 285

Posted on Monday 8 December 2003

For those who missed it on the NewsHour last week, check out Roger Mudd’s study of the Bush Blue tie that’s become the favorite political symbol in Washington.

It was a blue that the paint store color charts might call “rock-a-bye blue” or “bassinet blue,” and it was a blue that sent a signal: “I, George Bush, am from Texas. I wear cowboy boots. I wear blue jeans. I talk with a twang. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be sensitive once in a while.”

….Quietly but without hesitation, the men of this administration began to add to their tie racks those blue cravats that branded them as George Bush men.

Since the transcript is a bit lacking without the visuals, here are a few photos.
